It can only enhance what is already there. Rien du tout.Because an EQ can’t really make stuff up. What happens? No cheating, try it for yourself. Ok, now boost the EQ gain like real men do, say 20Db. Now insert the SONNOX EQ, select type 1, set a band to 80Hz, Q of 10. Here’s an exercise: On a mono channel of your DAW, create a 1000Hz sine wave tone at, say, -6dB. Correct, there is no 200Hz on an 808 hihat, etc, etc… Yup, that’s right, there is NOTHING below 100Hz on the guitar you recorded through that amp emulator. Now, try the above method on the separate tracks of one of your productions or mixes. Interesting no? I find that this works much better at pointing out crucial spots in the low end than the traditional over-boosting of one narrow band of frequencies. The SONNOX filter is very clean, so as you go up in frequencies, and as they get killed by the filter, you’ll be able to clearly associate various frequency numbers with various colors. You need to define your own brand of fat and learn to translate other people’s vision of it.Ī good way to teach yourself what-is-what in the low lane is to insert the SONNOX filter plug-in on some music that you think sounds great, set the hipass filter to 36db/octave and slowly start raising the frequency knob up from 20 to 400Hz and back down. For example, the club DJ and the iPod listener are going to have different opinions of what sounds fat, given that the club’s speaker system generates so much 30hz it will loosen the elastic in your underwear and that the iPod listener hears little below 70Hz. If someone tells you that a mix is bass light, they’re not telling you much. It’s, in my opinion, (and listening to modern records) the most difficult frequency area to nail reliably.įat means different things to different people. Let’s talk about life in the low lane, the low end, life below 300Hz, where as my friend Tim says ‘the booty is’- thereafter referred to as: ‘The Fat’ (Da Phat in the Bronx)
