Basics of EQ for mixing metal and rock - tutorial

Learn how to use the basics of EQ for rock and metal mixers. Joel Wanasek walks you through all the standard EQ moves for metal and rock, using the raw multi-tracks for "F.E.A.R." by Papa Roach.

He applies a simple shelf EQ to the drums, bass, and guitars, then uses subtractive EQ to remove some unpleasant frequencies.

Joel uses the stock EQ plugin in Cubase, but these techniques will work in any DAW with any EQ plugin.
