A low Q setting gives you a wide curve, covering a wide range of frequencies.Īs a rule, it sounds more natural if you use a low Q (wide bandwidth) when boosting, and a high Q (a narrow spike) when cutting. A high Q setting means a low bandwidth and a narrow curve - more like a spike. Q refers to the width of the curve used for the adjustment - the bandwidth. Parametric EQs also have a ‘Q’ control in addition to Gain and Frequency. This means that the whole frequency curve is split into sections - a 3-band EQ lets you manipulate three sections of the curve individually. EQs are often described as having 'bands'. For example, if a guitar has an annoying resonance, you can reduce the resonating frequency with EQ.Īlmost all EQs work the same way: select a frequency or frequency range, then adjust the level up or down. which is great and much more precise if you have the time but 'in the heat of the battle' a grapic EQ is simply quicker. with a parametric eq you still need to sweep a band to right frequency.
if you have the practice, its basically muscle memory to pull down the right frequency at once. It’s also useful for correcting recordings. i think the main benefit of a graphic EQ is that is much quicker to use. EQ is an essential tool during mixing for defining the low-end, adding sparkle to vocals or percussion, and for separating tracks with similar frequency ranges.
