A handy EQ chart & some useful apps!
« on: January 10, 2016, 06:15:39 am »
Just wanted to share this handy EQ chart and some iphone apps that i've found to be useful in the past :). If anyone else has any useful tools on hand, share 'em!


Unfortunately all but one of these apps must be paid for, but they won't break your bank and i'd say they're worth the price for the most part.

Octavian - loaded with scales, chord, progressions, etc: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/octavian/id331856107?mt=8

FrequenSee - a real time spectrum analyzer. Handy for testing sounds/rooms: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/frequensee-spectrum-analyzer/id583945921?mt=8

Musicopoulos's Ear Training Course - features drill based training methods: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ear-training-course-by-musicopoulos/id711826901?mt=8

StudioEars 2 (free) - audio engineering/ear training: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/studioears-2-audio-engineering/id916988022?mt=8

Really awesome info. Thumbs up. To add to the rules depicted in the image:

'Make changes to the mix until you can hear the change you want, then cut the change it in half.'

The idea is that while mixing, we will come up with an idea of what we want to hear changed and then over extend how much of a change needs to be made based on our desire to hear it. This general principle is referred to in a lot of audio mastering tutorials I've read.
