… some of the controls on in the EQ program are so technical, I’m having a hard time knowing the best way to use it in this way.
Here’s a technique I learned to use with parametric EQs, to zone in on where cuts or boosts need to be:
- Pick one of the parametric EQs. Dial Gain up +12 dB, Width to 1.
- You now have a very narrow, over-exaggerated emphasis.
- Slowly sweep the Frequency control over the acoustic guitar playing.
- Could be over a looped phrase, or change the Frequency with a HotKnob or EXP pedal.
This is going to help you to target exactly where your adjustments should be made.
- Once you have specific Frequencies in mind, increase the Width, and bring the Gain back down.
- Now you’ll have an idea of what & where you need to boost or cut.
- Repeat that process using the next parametric EQ.
