reducing EQ on bounced-down tracks
I have got five vocal tracks that I EQ'ed the exact same way, and now
with them together in the mix, I wish I hadn't boosted their highs. Instead of going back and re-EQing each track, which in this case will take a long time, I'm wondering if I get the exact same effect by simply lowering the same EQ frequencies I had previously boosted, but doing it to the two tracks I have already bounced the vocals down to. I'm a novice, and so my goal is to do the least editing possible. If pulling the same EQ down now will neutralize the raised EQ, then I'll do it. And that's what I think should happen. When I do it, it sounds alright, though I can't say I trust my ears 100%. But if it is going to do something complicated that I have not thought about, then maybe I should go back and redo the whole thing. Thanks. |

Nat,

AND if the EQ cut and boost settings are exact mirrors of one another, which is sadly not always the case. AND if there isn't anything nonlinear going on, like the bass goofiness on the Pultecs. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

reducing EQ on bounced-down tracks
That's what I suspected. Another option I have is just de-EQing the
individual vocal tracks and then bouncing together. That would be more time consuming, so if it's all the same, I'd like to just de-EQ the vocals as they are all glommed together on two tracks. The worst case scenario is to have to redo the vocal editing from scratch. It's a long nightmare song on an eight-track with little bits and phrases everywhere because there are so many parts. And I did a bunch of editing at once, so I'd be starting over from ground zero and re-editing everything. I barely know what's what and I'd run the risk of using the wrong stuff. Plus it would take a whole day to do. So if I can just de-EQ what's already done, that's best. |
