Knowledge Wednesday

This week's Knowledge Wednesday tip is to EQ your effects such as reverb and delay.

Some reverb and delay plugins have EQ options built in, but if you are using one that doesn't then you can load up a separate EQ plugin. 

The best starting point with EQ'ing reverb and delay is to apply and high pass and Low pass filter to remove some of unnecessary frequencies. Removing high end frequencies on reverb and delay is a good way to give the effect a more 'analog' feel, essentially just making the sound warmer rather than sounding unnatural.

Cleaning up the low end is also important if you are trying to create space in the mix because any 'boomy' or overly resonant frequencies in a signal will easily be accentuated by reverb and delay. A high pass filter can help with this and even a notch filter to remove particular problem frequencies.

Try EQ'ing your effects, there are no limits!
