There are no bad frequencies, everything sounds bad when you boost it enough. Its all about context. Some frequencies tend to build up across tracks so it makes sense to tame them for balance..or not. It all depends on the mix. So yet the title is clickbaity and inaccurate but actually there is some good info here, keep an eye on these frequencies as some of them are prone to buildup, especially 350-500, idk if thats on this list or not. Trust your judgement, over cutting can remove character which is bad too
@kelainefes2 жыл бұрын
I'm surprised we still have videos showing the boost and sweep technique used on everything. EQs are resonators and will resonate any frequency and make it sound nasty if boosted enough. That is why Pro Q 3 is so great, you can sweep without the boost and listen to a region without the nasty resonance. But yes, the frequency ranges listed can be and often are troublemakers and it makes sense to check them out, but they shouldn't be mindlessly cut every time.
@antunes19682 жыл бұрын
That's why i always cut around 2 or 3 db on those frequencies. That way u can take a little proportion of what annoys you and still keep the essence of the frequence

When it comes to all frequencies between 3k and 5k, especially on guitars, beware of how much you cut. If you remove too much, some other bell will become annoying. An exapmle is right here on this video. At 4:03, when the first resonance was cut that much, another one appears and it sounds even worse.

In my experience, out of all these frequencies you have mentioned, the one that is the most problematic is 400 Hz especially on bass. Dipping that frequency (or around that area - depending on the track) by around 1 or 2 dB might help clean the mix and if the mix is relatively sparse then it also provides an excellent separation.

Humans have a secondary perception of sound through our skin and the air movement. That's why, it was shown that recording in 96 KHz makes difference from 44.1 KHz despite we may not be able to hear the entire spectrum. In fact, the sound waves interact between each other at different frequencies and it doesn't mean that if we can't hear the high bands, they don't affect the ones we can.

If a frequency doesn’t jump out at you in the mix, don’t mess with it. Boosting any frequency is gonna make it sound horrible. If something jumps out at you, sweep around to find it then cut a bit. If that doesn’t fix it, then maybe re-record it. No reason to just automatically cut stuff without any purpose.
