Bass-ic arithmetic

Here are some useful frequencies for EQing bass instruments — bass guitar, synth bass, etc.

Try doing boosts at these frequencies, with a fairly narrow Q of 2.0, and as much gain as it takes to hear the effect (which is sometimes a lot of gain! Don’t be afraid to crank the gains on your EQs, regardless of what internet bros might have to say about it).

75Hz: solidity

150Hz: warmth

300Hz: presence

600Hz: poke

1200Hz: articulation

First of all: how cool is this! And, second of all, notice anything about the relationship between these frequencies?

Music is math. 🖤
