Q vs. EQ gain
Here’s a good EQ technique. You know how sometimes you’ll do a boost, and it seems like a bit much? But then you take the EQ gain back down a bit, and it seems like not enough? One of those situations where it feels like no amount of boost is quite right, but it definitely needs a boost?
Try narrowing the Q (i.e., narrowing the width of the boost).
Sometimes it’s not the height of the boost that’s too much — it’s the width!
