MICRO EQ
ant'd
indistinguishable.
Too much
boost
in
this
range,
especially
at 3kHz, can also
cause
listening fatigue.
Dipping
the
3kHz
range
on
instrumental
backgrounds and
slightly
peaking
3kHz on
vocals
can
make the vocals
audible
without
having
to decrease
the
instrumental level
in mixes
where
the
voice
would
otherwise seem buried.
The
presence
range
between 4
and 6kHz
is responsible for
the clarity and
definition of
voices
and instruments.
Boosting
this range
can
make
the music
seem closer to
the
listener.
Adding
6dB of boost
at SkHz
makes
a
mix
sound
as
if
the overall
level
has
been
increased
by 3 db.
As
a
result
of
this effect,
many record
companies
and
mastering
engineers make
a
practice
of adding a
few
db
of boost at
SkHz to
make
their
product
sound
louder.
Reducing
the SkHz content
of a
mix makes
the sound
more
distant and transparent.
The
6 to
16kHz
range
controls the brilliance and clarity ot
sounds.
Too
much
emphasis in
this
range, however,
can
produce
sibilance
on
vocals.
Application
Since
the
MICRO
EQ
can be used
with
any
electric
instrument
or microphone requiring
tonal alteration, here
are
some
generic
suggestions
as to setup.
Since each
instrument will
sound
different due to the
uniqueness of the
instrument itself,
the type of
music
being
played,
the
arrangement, and the touch of the
player,
you
must
use
your
ears
(and
the above chart) to ultimately
find
the correct
settings.
MICRO
EQ with Rockmanru
The Rockmanru
has
become a
staple
of home recording studios
thanks to
its
ease of
use and
great
sounds.
When
connected
directly
into
a console, however,
the sound of the
Rockmanru
does differ
from what
you
normally
hear
in
the
headphones due to
