![]() You can control the bandwidth (frequency range) to focus on a more narrow (or broad) section of frequencies. These filters are commonly given to you in most graphic EQ plugins and are what allows us to fine-tune specific frequencies. This is what a low shelving boost would look like: Parametric Filters If you wanted to tame the low frequencies of a kick drum, but not completely get rid of them using a low shelving cut may be more appropriate than a high pass filter, for example. This does have some useful applications, though. This type of EQ control gives you very limited ‘fine-tuning’ and involves cutting or boosting large bands of frequencies at a time. Shelving filters are what you will be commonly using on speaker systems while controlling bass and treble settings. You would tend to use a HPF on your kick drum EQ to cut out any rumble, floor noise, and unwanted low-end frequencies. High Pass Filter: An EQ curve that only lets through high frequencies and cuts all frequencies below where it is set.You could use a low pass filter on a kick drum to get rid of any unnecessary high frequencies. Low Pass Filter: An EQ curve that only lets through low frequencies and cuts all frequencies above where it is set.You can sometimes control the angle of the ‘slope’ of this cutoff which determines how gently (or not) the filter comes into effect. Using Pass filters is a very simple EQ method where you block (cut out) all low or high frequencies to one side of a set cut-off frequency. To boost/create more of certain frequencies – making a mix sound fuller or improving the overall sound/tone of an instrument.īefore I get into the nitty-gritty of how to EQ a kick drum, let’s quickly go over the 3 types of EQ you can use pass, shelving, and parametric. ![]()
