    So happy to see a piano on there... Every video I'm coming across is for bands / drums / vocals / midi etc... As an acoustic pianist, I'm pretty clueless as to even what DAW would be best, let alone what to do with the EQ once I download one. 🤔

    Now I just need a company to make an EQ int the manner he was showing the freq. ranges lol Literally blocked off into sections. Would make EQ-ing so much more helpful at least for me when using Parametrics. Also, with footnotes describing what the ranges do: power, warmth, etc. Just as he described in the video.

  • @Fire-Toolz

    to be fair, 30-50Hz is pretty valuable in dance music, especially when it comes to clubs & huge sub woofers. but in metal & pop punk & stuff, i agree.

    Sorry for asking this question because I'm beginner, I'm wondering, we have instruments in the Daw and we have instruments recorded in the studio, do both require the same equalization, that is, the sound of Daw instruments is already equalized or it is raw, like the sound recorded in the studio.???

    what are your thoughts on clip to zero method? you prob know but if you don't it's clipping each track individually so there's little to nothing to clip/limit at the end (master). so curious to hear your thoughts
