Back in my SAE Institute days in Madrid back in 2009, one of the my roommates was this British guy from East England.

He was the typical, terribly polite charming Brit that was fun to talk to regardless of what he was actually saying.

He even made it endearing to be insulted the one and only time I dared to make him tea.

He took the cup I gave him, took one sip from it and apologized profusely. I didn't even realize what he was apologizing about until he dumped the rest of his tea into the sink and promptly flipped the electric kettle back on.

Moral of the story?

If you have no idea how to do something specific (like making English Tea), then don't try to wing it and hope for the best if it's just as easy to research how to do it.

Take EQ'ing for example.

If you don't know how to EQ then don't just twist knobs in the faint hope that something good will happen. It's just as easy to do some research into the frequency spectrum to learn to understand a bit what you're doing.

Believe, the Tea Story above isn't the only time I've wasted my time trying to wing it. It's literally how I learned how to EQ because there weren't any resources for me to learn how.

So all I knew what to do was to twist knobs in a dark venue until the kick-drum sounded like it belonged in a metal mix.

Luckily, I spent all this time learning to EQ so that you don't have to. And I packaged it all for you inside my EQ Strategies - The Ultimate Guide to EQ training.

Don't try to wing it, just read my frequency breakdown chapter and you'll quickly learn where all the most problematic areas of the EQ spectrum are (and how to fix them in your mix).
