Audiotent Tip 396. Narrow Q When Cutting.


When removing unwanted resonances using an equalizer, it's often a good practice to use a narrow Q value.

However, when working on lower frequencies, sharp narrow Q can introduce drastic phase shifts.
Make sure your ears are the final judge to decide the Q value.
