One Minute EQ Trick #5 – How to Add Low-Mid Power to Your Snare Drum Track

Published: Tue, 02/23/16

This week's One Minute EQ Trick is one I do often.

I like meaty snare drums so I tend to go hunting down in the low-mids for some extra power.

I like using the Waves V-EQ for this purpose for some reason but in the video below I show you using the simple Logic Channel EQ.

So if you're looking for some extra power in your snare drum track, this is the trick for you!

The example frequency in the video is also just that, an example. Every snare drum is different so make sure you do a little scouting around in the low-mids to find the right power frequency for your particular snare drum.

In EQ Strategies - The Ultimate Guide to EQ I share a few more of my go-to snare drum frequencies for whenever I need to add some body, clarity or punch to the snare.

Here's what a recent reader, Neale, had to say about the guide:

"I'm really enjoying the book and videos...I've sorted my low end mud beautifully, mixes are sounding really nice now, I'd got a decent basic understanding of frequency and I've been lucky enough to work with some monsters in the field of mixing and gleaned what I could from them but these tips have done more for me,thank you."
