Producers and mixing engineers can accomplish a lot with automation, but when it comes to automation, no one really thinks about automating EQ. EQ automation can emphasize or even tune out certain parts of a record for short periods of time. It can also be used for both panning and filtering effects. It is also useful for when you want to trick the listener into believing that a record had more bass or treble than it actually has.
Key Takeaways:
- If you want to emphasize a particular instrument for a short period of time, a boost in the automated EQ might do the trick.
- You can automate a parametric cut if there is a problem sequence where you want to de-emphasize a troublesome sound.
- You can create dramatic effects in your mix by automating the EQ.
“Whether creating something truly bespoke for your mix, or cheating an element forward/backward for the master, a bit of active, automated EQ sculpting can be a serious boon, if done well.”
