EQuALiZiNG (EQ) tiPS

The following EQ tips will help you create high-quality recordings.
The high, mid, and low EQs can be used to increase or decrease the volume of your source inputs by up to 12
dB at the following levels:
Low: 80Hz
Mid:
2.5kHz
High: 12kHz
The following table provides tips for recording different instruments and vocals. These tips are recommended
starting points—you should experiment to find the best settings for your instrument and environment. If you
need to make large adjustments, try to adjust your microphones rather than the EQ settings.
Note: "Boost" means to increase the setting, and "cut" means to decrease the setting.
