*Mix in mono while EQing! It will really force you to work to achieve separation and clarity… which is a good thing! — Rick Elliott,

*Using an EQ with a built-in analyzer makes it much easier to find problem frequencies and resonances. — James Aparicio

*I like using the same, high quality EQ for nearly every track on my mixes. I’ll reach for another one when it’s absolutely needed, but otherwise, using the same one always keeps the whole mix sounding glued better than if I use a lot of different ones — things just don’t sit together as well at the end. — Matt Russell

*My #1 EQ tip is use notch filters to cut & clean up your sound sources and vocals!!! — J-rum, J-rum Beats

If you’re struggling with giving a vocal that pristine pop sheen, try a high shelf boost around 14 to 16kHz . It can add a nice airy presence and help your vocal sit more forward and in your face. — Bobby Phillipps

*People often overlook “Complimentary EQ” techniques or they just do not understand it.

This technique is used widely by myself and every other professional mixing engineer. In short, you need to have each instrument in its own frequency field, as this will make each instrument sound clear and have its own space in the mix. For example, there are many instruments that take up the same frequency fields, like Kick Drum and Bass Guitar and Vocals and Guitars do. So if you boost the bass guitar at 250 Hz on your EQ, then you should cut the kick drum at 250 Hz. this will make the mix less muddy and you will be able to hear those 2 instruments more clearly in the mix. — CJ Jacobson

*Make your reverb transparent by adding EQ after the reverb and filter out the low and high frequencies. You can even add your EQ before the reverb for a different approach. — Chris Selim
