EQ is an indispensable tool for producers. I would argue that outside of volume and pan, nothing is more important.

​

That said, a lot of producers use EQ incorrectly. I know I have in the past. Well maybe incorrect isn't the best word choice, but you may be guilty of using EQ inefficiently.

​

Ask yourself:

​

Do you find yourself making changes to EQ more by what you see on screen as opposed to what you hear?

​

Do you solo and isolate tracks when you are making changes to EQ? 

​

I know I'm guilty of doing each of these while mixing. Check out this video to see 3 mistakes to avoid when using EQ.
