You may get wrapped up in all the fancy plug-ins you have in your DAW.

And that's fine, shiny object syndrome gets to the best of us.

You might feel like your high-end needs more air, so you add a fancy harmonic exciter plug-in to create artificial harmonics.

Or you think your low-end isn't powerful enough, so you slap on a sub-bass enhancer to add some weird low-end rumble.

But honestly, that's just overcomplicating your mix with unnecessary plug-ins when you've already got the most powerful one sitting on the sidelines, ready to play.

EQ is just sitting there, like the Rudy of the mix processors, waiting to be put in the game.

So next time you're browsing through your plug-in list, don't overcomplicate your mix decisions with fancy plug-ins when you can solve your problem with the simple EQ.
