Pongo aquí un enlace muy interesante sobre los principios de la EQ, en inglés:
http://www.musicradar.com/tuition/tech/ ... ps-147487/
Hay mucha confusión entre los músicos a la hora de utilizar la EQ, y mucha desinformación sobre lo que es y lo que no es esta herramienta. Por ejemplo, hay muchos músicos que piensan que el instrumento plano suena peor, que hay que ecualizar sí o sí, que aplicar una curva (on un preset) de EQ se consigue un sonido determinado, o que es mejor añadir que quitar...
Destaco del link de antes los siguientes puntos, perfectamente aplicables al bajo eléctrico:
1.
Try and avoid massive cuts and boosts unless theyre absolutely necessary. Generally, an adjustment of just a few dB will be enough.
3. Remember that while soloing a track can be helpful at times, it wont necessarily help you sit the instrument in a full mix.
4. If you add 10dB at 150Hz, 10dB at 1kHz and 10dB at3kHz, all youre really doing is boosting the volume of the track by 10dB.
Just because the volume is louder, you might mistakenly perceive the track as better - dont be seduced.
6. Y
ou may find yourself automatically adjusting EQ just because you feel you should dont make changes unless your ears tell you theyre needed. Many parts wont need any EQ at all.
8.
Its always better to remove frequencies you dont want to hear rather than boost the good ones. As we mentioned earlier, raising the volume of something can make it difficult to distinguish whether the end result is better or just louder.
10.
Dont make EQ adjustments blindly think about which part of the instruments frequency range youre adjusting.
