An EQ allows you to sculpt the sound of any instrument so that it stands out in the mix. So how do you find the best and worst each instrument has to offer and adjust them accordingly?

TB Equalizer 4 can drive equalizer gains from an external side chain for creative effects and problem solving that cannot be achieved by conventional side-chain compressors or equalizers. External side chain available in VST3, AAX and AU version. A second pair of ears Free with every plugin instance. Overview Of The PreSonus Pro EQ Plug-in. In this video, Paul Drew looks at the fantastic stock EQ plug-in that ships with PreSonus Studio One, the Pro EQ.

Here is a great starting place:

First, solo just the instrument with which you are working. Most engineers start building their mix with the drums and work from the bottom up (kick, snare, toms, hi-hat, overheads). Each instrument resonates the most in a specific frequency bandwidth, so if you are working on your kick drum mic, start with the lowest band of the EQ. Tune in the best-sounding low end and move on to the attack. It is not uncommon to hear an annoying ringing or a ‘“twang’” somewhere mixed in with your amazing-sounding low end and perfect attack, so your next task will be to find that offending frequency and notch it out. Once you are satisfied with your kick drum, mute it, and move on to the next instrument.

Taking your time with equalization is well worth the effort. Your mix will have better separation and more clarity when each instrument’s EQ is set so that it shines through the mix.

A few general words of wisdom:

Feb 28, 2020  The Warm Audio EQP-WA is another modern equalizer made to replicate a classic sound at an affordable price. The model number refers to the Pultec EQP-1A sound that this fully discrete tube EQ offers. Two tubes equal warmth and that's one reason this company calls themselves Warm Audio. It's highly likely that if you are going to be using the free version of Studio One, Studio One Prime, that you are going to be wanting to lay down some guitars.The great news is that Studio One Prime comes with some great free plug-ins that can help you get a huge variety of guitar tones. Note: Studio One 4 is only compatible with 64-bit operating systems. There is no longer a 32-bit version. Installing Studio One 4 on Windows: By default, the Studio One 4 Installer will download to your 'Downloads' folder. Browse to that folder and double-click the 'PreSonus Studio One 4 Installer' to start the setup program. Apr 26, 2016  is it possible to add third party vsts in Studio One Prime?? It would be AWESOME to have a Fat Channel EQ/Comp/Gate Preset library we could pull from. Why doesn't the compressor Auto Gain in Studio One 3 work like it does Studio One 2? Date for Studio One Prime 4 release? Is it possible to add 3rd party vsts and plugins in Studio One 4 Prime? These settings are for the four-band semi-parametric equalizers found in the PreSonus ® Studio Channel, and StudioLive ® series, but you can adapt them to other multiband semi-parametric EQs. If you are using a fully parametric EQ, such as the PreSonus Pro EQ plug-in, we suggest that you play with the Q setting when a high or a low Q is.

  • You can only do so much. Not every instrument can or should have a full, rich low end and a sharp attack. If every instrument is EQ’d to have the same effect, it will lose its identity in the mix. Your goal is not individual perfection, it is collective perfection in the mix.
  • Step away from the mix. Your ears get fatigued just like the rest of you. If you are working particularly hard on one instrument, your ears will be quite literally numbed to that frequency range.
  • Your memory is not what you think it is. Comparing a flat EQ and the curve that you’ve created allows you to see exactly what you’ve done. So be honest with yourself. Sometimes that EQ setting you’ve been working on for 15 minutes is not the right choice, so move on.
  • Never be afraid to take a risk. The best EQ tricks were found by mad scientists of sound. “Playing” applies to engineers as well as musicians.

EQ Frequency Guide

You can add clarity and fullness to any instrument in a mix by attenuating (cutting) or boosting certain frequencies. And of course, adjusting the wrong frequencies can make an instrument shrill, muddy, or just downright annoying. The following table offers suggestions for frequency ranges that should be boosted or cut when shaping the sound of commonly used instruments. Remember, these are just suggestions; these frequencies may need to be adjusted up or down depending on the instrument, room, and microphone.

Frequency Ranges

The diagram below can be used as a quick reference for where various tonalities of different instruments fall within the range of human hearing:

Suggested EQ Settings

Here are suggested EQ settings for several different instruments to help you get started. These settings are for the four-band semi-parametric equalizers found in the PreSonus® Studio Channel, and StudioLive® series, but you can adapt them to other multiband semi-parametric EQs.

If you are using a fully parametric EQ, such as the PreSonus Pro EQ plug-in, we suggest that you play with the Q setting when a high or a low Q is suggested, in order to find the right width for the instrument or mix. This will also give you a better understanding of how the Q affects the sound.

It's highly likely that if you are going to be using the free version of Studio One, Studio One Prime, that you are going to be wanting to lay down some guitars. The great news is that Studio One Prime comes with some great free plug-ins that can help you get a huge variety of guitar tones.

Studio One Prime includes RedLightDist, a hugely flexible plug-in that features everything from subtle clipping right through to outright destruction and a limited version of Ampire, the guitar amp and cab plug-in.

Studio One 4 Equalizer

For the two examples I wanted to show both subtle guitar clipping as if the guitar is going through a combo and then great distortion effects that are possible by combining the plug-ins.

The best news is that I'm not a great guitar player, so just imagine what you can do if you care an axe fiend.. over to you!

Clean Guitar With Bite

In the first example I've used a Telecaster with Humbucker pickups in the centre position - I've simply added some RedLightDist to add character to the sound as it is being connected directly to the audio interface (DI). I've included the images to show you the settings in both the first and second example.

In the audio example the guitar starts off just with the DI sound and then the RedLightDist fades and then back out to demonstrate how using the Mix control can blend the sound to taste.

In the second example I've use the same Telecaster with Humbuckers but in the rear position. I've used the RedLightDist to create the Distortion and then used the Cabinet only on Ampire to create a cab setting and warm the sound up. Without the cabinet it sounds like a distortion pedal but with it you get a nice big round distortion without the fizzy top end.

In the second audio example the guitar starts off just with the DI sound and then the RedLightDist and Ampire cut in we then bypass and then back again. Huge difference!
