FX and Plugins - Equalization or EQ
Let's now talk about effects and plugins, effects and plugins are powerful tools for shaping the sonic characteristics of your audio tracks. Let's now have a look at some effects in detail. So let's turn on the channel EQ by tapping on the bypass channel EQ effect and selecting, turn on. So now let's have a look at the channel EQ in detail and we can do this by tapping on the channel EQ effect and then selecting show details. Equalization or EQ is a fundamental audio processing tool used to adjust the balance of frequencies within a sound EQ allows you to boost or cut specific frequency ranges, shaping the tonal characteristics of individual tracks or the overall mix. EQ divides the audible spectrum into frequency bands ranging from base or low frequencies to Treble or high frequencies. Each band represents a specific range of frequencies such as base 20 hertz to Hertz midrange which is 250 hertz to four kilohertz and treble which is four kilohertz to 20 kilohertz. These numbers are r...
ough areas on the frequency spectrum. They're not strict rules. The EQ and logic pro has three main controls and let's have a look at these now gain. This adjusts the level of the selective frequency band allowing you to boost or cut the volume of frequencies within that range frequency. This sets the center frequency of the selected band, determining which frequencies are affected by the EQ adjustments Q or bandwidth. This controls the width of the frequency band affected by the EQ adjustment. A high Q value narrows the bandwidth focus on the EQ effect on a smaller range of frequencies. Let's just show the mixer again by tapping the mixer button. OK. So now let's talk about some common EQ techniques. Frequency balancing EQ is commonly used to balance the frequency spectrum of individual tracks or the overall mix. For example, boosting the bass frequencies of a kick drum can add weight and impact while cutting the low frequencies of a vocal track can reduce muddiness and improve clarity. OK? So now let's add an EQ plug in to the kick drum and show the details for this effect. Then let's play this back and boost the base frequencies for this EQ. OK. So now let's show the mixer again and close the EQ details window by pressing the X in the corner of this window. Frequency carving EQ can be used to carve out space for different instruments in the mix. For instance, cutting the midrange frequencies of a guitar track can create space for vocals or other instruments to stand out. OK. So now let's solo, the guitar and piano tracks and then let's show the details for the E key for this guitar track. Let's now carve out some of the guitar's frequencies so that the piano part stands out as these instruments share many of the same frequencies. EQ sand sculpting EQ can be used creatively to shape the character and texture of sounds. Experiment with extreme EQ settings such as boosting or cutting specific frequency ranges to create unique sonic textures and effects. So let's do this now for the piano part. So let's un solo the guitar track. So we can only hear the piano track and let's show the details view for this EQ. The telephone effect is often used on vocals, for example, and is done by using EQ to remove the high and low frequencies while also boosting the midrange. OK. So that's EQ. Next, let's have a look at compression.
