Using EQ & Compressor and Misc. Links

Here are some links that of information that I use in my audio engineering calsses at the studio. You should find them to be very informative and helpful.

For EQ:

The Equalization Primer
(Click here for the condensed version.)

Equalization By The Octave (Note: Take this one with a grain of salt because not everyone agrees to these frequency ranges. I have included it for refernce only.)

Adding Bass Clarity

Uisng Complimentary Equalization

Using EQ to Compensate for the Fletcher-Munson Effect

Misc. articles on EQ

For Compression:

Using Compression in Mixing & Mastering

The Exciting Compressor

A comprehensive guide to compression and compressors

General topics:

The Project Studio Handbook

The Recording Project
(Some excellent articles!)

Misc. Topics

DigiFreq (Scott Garrigus' site)

Reverb
Understanding Reverb
(I highly recommend the reading of this excellent article!)

Mastering

The Project Stuido Handbook's Mastering section

There are more, but these will keep you very busy learning to apply them.

Hope these will be of some help to those in need of it.

This is what I'm talkin' about! So much better than all the disjointed discussions of "mastering" that have plagued this forum. BTW, don't forget the Project Studio Handbook.

Guess you missed the link, as it is already posted under "General topics" . In fact, it is the first link under the category.

Hope I did not misundersatnd you here.

Chaz... you are one helpful son-of-a-gun! I got your random velocity CAL, too.

Good stuff! Thanks!

I forgot about this thread. I knew there was an expert around here. Thanks Chaz. Too bad we can't have a special place (like a links page or something) that people could go to - sort of like one-stop shopping for information. The same questions keep popping up all the time.

Please keep in mind that even though you read the material that suits you, you still have to experiment, experiment, experiment until you are happy with the results. .

BTW..... Did I mention that you still have to experiment?!

Chaz,

You are a god send. I was feeling left out of the race, sibce I don't have Sonar 4 yet. These links just reminded me of how much work there is that I can do in my Sonar 3 system. I have finally put to rest all of my redundant EQ questions. Thank you again!
