EQ Cheat Sheet

This document provides a vocal EQ cheat sheet for beginners. It recommends starting with a low cut filter at 120Hz and a peaking filter at 12kHz with a Q of 4.1 and gain of +6dB. It then explains how to use a sweeping EQ to find problematic frequency ranges, cut the gain to reduce irritation, and use Q to refine it. A chart lists recommended cuts or boosts for different frequency bands to remove mud, boxiness, harshness or add warmth, clarity, and brilliance.

Vocal EQ Cheat Sheet


For vocal EQ, we recommend starting with a low cut filter around 120Hz and a peaking
filter (PEQ) at 12kHz (4.1 Q, +6dB). All other EQ will be different for each vocal.

To find problematic frequency ranges, start with your Q value at 4 and set your gain to +6dB. Then,
sweep through the frequency spectrum slowly until you find the irritating frequency range. Then,
cut the gain to achieve desired result and use the Q value to dial it in just right. Below is a chart to
help you get started. Keep in mind, it is generally better to cut than boost.

Low Cut Always use a low cut filter on vocals at around 120Hz

200-500Hz Cut if muddy or boost to create warmth

500Hz-1kHz Cut if boxy or honky

1-5kHz Cut to remove harshness

5-10kHz Boost for more clarity

12kHz Boost to create air and brilliance
