| hertz and frequency |
|
|
Hz stands for hertz. Its a unit for measuring frequency.
when sound travels (say in air), the particles of air vibrate. this vibration creates what we hear - sound. frequency can be defined as the number of vibrations made by these particles in one second.
an equaliser is used to 'control' these frequencies. each slider on an equaliser controls a particular frequency (or a band of frequencies). so if u 'push' your slider up, you are making that particular frequency sound louder.
the lower frequencies control the sounds that are more bass (like the kick drum) in nature and the higher ones control the sounds with more treble (the high hat, cymbals, etc..). the ones in between control the mid-frequencies.
hope this helps!

| eq |
|

first...there are no rules that say you got to put an eq here and not put an eq there. its up to you. it depends on how you want that particular sound/music to sound like. for instance if you feel like you need to boost the mid-frequencies of a guitar...go ahead and do it. as audiocourses says.. 'its all in the ears'.
so if u need to play around with the frequencies, add the eq. if you feel that everything sounds fine, dont add the eq.
browse around the forums of this site, you will definately find stuff that will help you with eqing and compression. and try experimenting by yourself and see what happens, thats the best way to learn.
