A Simple Guide To EQ Frequencies

 This is a chart I drew up of the EQ frequencies I use in almost all of the music I produce. using these frequencies will give you a fresh sound and all of your instruments will have room to breathe. It is always best to mess around with the frequencies yourself                                                                                                           to find the sound that                                                                                                          suits your production, just                                                                                                    use this as a guideline.

Whilst searching on the internet of other material I could use to better help you on your quest for decent EQ ranges, I found this little gem. it's a very good chart which you could base most of your EQ's around.







Both charts will provide you with a base for your EQ's but it is always a good idea to play around with the frequencies because its not necesserily set in stone for example if a synth has a rather low sound then maybe boosting a little higher up the range may give it more air and cutting a little low will take out some of the muddiness.

The low end of your mix should be thumpy in my opinion (depending on genre of course) in dubstep its a good bet to say you want the low end to be bone crunching so EQ the kicks at a low Freq Range to give it some serious power. If the sub and kick clash with one another and the sound gets distorted you might have to EQ the kick higher, or Side Chain the kick to the sub this will allow the kick to breath whilst the sub is pumping like a nutter.
