Yay! More sound articles. While I've mixed many shows in high school, this article is much more advanced than I expected. I've tried playing around with Dynamic EQ a few times, but I love to have some more hands-on time. Back in "the day" we did quite of EQing in terms of effects, and I can tell you that those reverbs sound *that* sweeter than if they were just totally clean. There's so much that you can do with EQ, though. While articles like these are great for finding new ideas, you really gotta put feet to pavement and get out there and try them yourself. I'm a firm believer of throwing people in the pool so you can teach them how to swim, and on a basic level, that's what you need to do in terms of EQ. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this article because it showed me new things that I could do.
