EQ/compression settings to capture tapped harmonics on acoustic

[Ten Flew South]

True, but in the long term it's probably a good idea to learn pitch frequencies off by heart rather than rely on a visual aid all the time

I know, .. I was just kidding.

Does raise the good point that you should try and atleast learn where important notes on guitars / basses are frequency wise though. Can really speed up EQ'ing and description of what needs to change.

One thing to take care with when boosting freqs is your Q control. Too narrow a Q and it'll sound a bit odd.... Dare I say it might even be worth using a high shelf EQ and surgically cutting any problem frequencies. If not, try and get quite a wide Q on there.

I would solo the geeetar part and use a narrow Q EQ and sweep it about until the part you're looking for sticks out. Once you've found it boost it by a couple of db then unsolo it. Then make a slight cut to the other tracks around the same frequency and mess about with the levels until you feel happy with it.

Disclaimer - I'm a complete bufoon when it comes to EQ and compression.


I thank you.

awesome advice !!!
