The Sweet Spot EQ Guide (PDF)

Find the Freq's To Cut And Boost with EQ

The funny thing about EQ'ing is that a frequency which sounds great in one instrument can sound awful in another one.

There are very few frequencies that are totally good or totally bad.

This EQ chart shows you where to cut and boost in the sounds we use most as electronic music producers.

It's a starting place to help you EQ faster.

Use it to find the sweet spots for your kicks, subs, beats, synths and vocals.

And as always, use the Golden Rule of EQ -- cut before you boost.
