EQ tutorial thread

[JKG1069]

So i dont know if anyone has made a thread like this or not but i dont know how to EQ or what sounds i can get with EQ so this thread is dedicated to asking EQ questions!

I'll start it off asking what kind of EQ bands use to make angelic punk sounding vocals.. Like, think sum 41 kind of vocals. Is it low/medium/high boost? or low/medium/high cut? or a mixture of both?

And also how do you use the mixer for an EQ, there are numbers with no labels to what they do so if someone could explain how to use that too that would be great!

The Visual EQ in Garageband is pretty nice, because it has a real-time analyzer that shows what sections are active and to what degree. It makes mastering much more fun.

He talks a fair bit and his voice is annoying, but if you don't know anything you should definitely learn a lot.
