20 Hz and below - impossible to detect, remove as it only adds unnecessary energy to the total sound, thereby most probably holding down the overall volume of the track

i dunno, when i do PAs, if i boost my kicks or bass at 20Hz it defo makes the room shake. I guess my eq might not be that accurate though and it could be that im boostin the freqs just above 20hz (psp masterQ)

I use a free one:

all the best and stay groovy

IMO this was a very useful thread, concise, epic and otherwise, thanks. with respect to the amount to boost, it's helpful to me to remember all frequencies are not perceived alike:

Thank you very much. Eq is one of my weak points right now. I'm not always sure about what to mess with. So thank you guys. Great post!

hi all

interesting post. could anyone supply some presets for the eq settings mentioned for EQ Four? or The Abletons?

Great thanks...do you have something similar for compression settings?
