Corrective EQ

Finding a resonance

A resonance is a frequency that rings too long or too loud.

A resonance shows up as a note that "whistles" or "booms" above the rest: a snare that rings too much, a room that reinforces a low frequency, a voice that turns harsh on certain notes.

The classic method: find the region, then refine. In the studio you sweep a narrow boosted bell to make it stand out, then cut it. The game trains you to spot it directly by ear.

A resonance is corrected with a narrow bell and a measured cut: no more than needed.

Listen for

  • A precise pitch that sticks out, almost a note.
  • A tail that rings longer than the rest.

The classic mistake

Correcting too wide and too deep: the sound loses its body. A resonance is narrow.
