Remember to listen to your mix as a whole as well as soloing instruments.
When EQ’ing, it’s always good to play with high and low pass filters whilst listening to the entire mix so that you can hear the impact and more importantly, the benefit it is having to other instruments. Try applying a high pass filter EQ to your drum overheads whilst listening to the entire mix or just the drums as a group and listen to how much clearer the low end becomes as you cut out the unwanted frequencies. Try this with the drum room tracks as well.
It’s important to go between full mix and solo’d tracks particularly when learning about mixing as it’s quite easy to become disheartened with the sound of an instrument on it’s own as the EQ cuts you make don’t always sound that great in isolation, but remember the bigger picture – all the individual elements and decisions you make are contributing to a song.
