EQ Training Series Part 4: How To Use EQ To Create Balance
One goal as a mix engineer to create a balance in a song. What do I mean by balance? I mean that you want your instruments and your tricks to sit together and occupy their own spaces without fighting for attention. If you've ever mixed a song but you tried to push everything up front and center, you probably noticed how it had the opposite effect and nothing really stood out. This is because the tracks are all fighting for the same space and therefore you can't hear any of them clearly.

EQ Training Series Part 3: How to EQ Vocals
Today we're going to loot at the third part of the training series on EQ. We'll be looking at specifically some tips and tricks you can use when using an EQ on a vocal track.
Let's start by talking about vocals. Vocals are probably one of the most important, if not the most important parts of a song. Most mainstream music today has vocals at the forefront of the song and it generally leads the melody. The music tends to act as a carrier for the vocals but the song really shines through the lyrics and vocal line. Obviously this isn't true for everything, but it is true for a lot of music today. Since vocals are so important, we're going to look at using EQ to enhance a vocal track and help it shine through the mix.
