Week 5. EQ plugin as a large format mixing console EQ section

There are lots of EQ plugins that can be used within any DAW. For this example I'll use one of the most common in ProTools. And I will rely on the EQ section of an Allen & Heath ZED-428 mixer, containing:

· HPF (Hi-pass Filter) at 100Hz (12/dB per octave)
· LF EQ (Low Frequency) at 80Hz
· LMF EQ (Lower Mid Frequency) having two knobs

                   Amplitude and Frequency Selector, between 35Hz y 1kHz
· HMF EQ (High Mid Frequency) having two knobs

                   Amplitude and Frequency Selector, between 500Hz y 15kHz
· HF EQ (High Frequency) a 12kHz

First we set the HPF at 100 Hz and 12dB per octave. But we should think if we will use it. Some producers say that is very useful put this on every track, and we should decide if it's applied on bass and bass drum depending on the musical gender.
As the LPF isn't used on the mixer channel strip, we won't set it.

LF should be laid at 80 Hz.

In EQ the parameters of the MF should be turned off or not be used.

HF should be laid at 12 kHz.

Saving

To save your changes as a new preset, you must click the triangle to the right of the preset word. The following menu appears.

And when you click save, we see the following window. This allows us to save the new preset into a new or existing folder.

Well that's all for today. English is not my native language, so let me know any errors. Thank you very much for your attention.
