🎛️ DAW Effects Guide

EQ & Filters
EQ (Equalizer)
Adjusts the balance of frequency components. Think of it as tone control on steroids.
• Low/Bass: 20-250 Hz (warmth, boom)
• Low-Mid: 250-500 Hz (muddiness)
• Mid: 500-2000 Hz (presence)
• High-Mid: 2-6 kHz (clarity)
• High: 6-20 kHz (air, sparkle)
Use: Cut mud at 200-400Hz, boost air at 10-15kHz
High/Low Pass Filter
Removes frequencies above (low-pass) or below (high-pass) a set point.
• Cutoff Frequency: Where it starts cutting
• Slope: How steep the cut is (dB/octave)
• Resonance: Boost at cutoff point
Use: High-pass vocals at 80Hz to remove rumble
Dynamics
Compressor
Reduces dynamic range by making loud parts quieter. Makes everything more consistent.
• Threshold: When it starts working
• Ratio: How much to compress (4:1 = 4dB becomes 1dB)
• Attack: How fast it reacts
• Release: How fast it lets go
• Knee: Hard or soft transition
Use: 3:1 ratio for vocals, 10:1 for limiting
Limiter
Extreme compressor that prevents signal from exceeding a set level. The brick wall.
• Ceiling: Maximum output level
• Release: How quickly it recovers
• Lookahead: Anticipates peaks
Use: On master bus to prevent clipping
Gate
Cuts signal when it falls below threshold. Removes background noise.
• Threshold: When gate closes
• Attack: How fast it opens
• Hold: Stays open time
• Release: How fast it closes
Use: Clean up drum recordings, remove amp hiss
