5 EQ Secrets for Crystal Clear (but THICK) Mixes

I’d like to share 5 EQ secrets for crisp, clear, and thick mixes that so many home studio owners commonly overlook.

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE it when I can hear every. single. detail within my mixes.

You know the type of mix I’m talking about..

– The kick drum punches through without clashing with the bass. All while somehow not sounding overpowering or too low-endy.

– Every guitar track and layer is loud and present while magically not clashing with the vocals or anything else.

– The overall high-end is crisp and clean without sounding brittle or harsh.

One of the biggest secrets to achieving a crisp and clear mix is to use all five of these EQ moves.

In this tutorial, I share my favorite 5 EQ moves that I use in every single mix for maximum clarity. Fun fact: all five of these EQ settings can be accomplished with ANY stock EQ plugin.

If you’d like help dialing in your EQ settings from scratch, you can download my QUICK EQ GUIDE by clicking HERE for absolutely free. It features all of my starting EQ settings that I use when I sit down to mix.
