Pair a boost and a cut, part I: high frequencies

Trying to find the right way to boost the top end of something can be maddeningly difficult sometimes, right?

Tell me if this sounds familiar: you’ve dialed in just the right amount of air on a vocal, or click on a kick drum. But in doing so you made it … brittle? Overly aggressive? Noisy? Just generally overloaded with supersonic garbage?

An excellent so…
