6 EQUALISATION
6.1 Equalisation Setup
Because the response of the reverb section is more unpredictable and fragile than the EQ,
it is generally better to achieve a convincing setup for the main reverb before starting out
on any equalisation. Once you are ready, simply click on the EQUALISER tab to reveal the
EQ controls (see above).
6.2 Reverb EQ in Music Production
For music production, the role of the EQ is mainly that of subtle modification to the overall
sound. This often entails reducing intrusive low frequencies, providing tonal matching
within the mix or creating effects by accentuating reverberation within various registers of
the musical ranges. Equalisation may also allow the reduction of unwanted artefacts due
to the ‘run-on’ of resonances within the programme, particularly in percussive
sounds.
As an artistic tool, equalisation can be used to create a wide variety of effects limited only
by the engineer’s imagination, and experimentation is definitely to be encouraged!
