I was just doing an overall EQ balance for a session I will be mixing soon.
I tend to go for the same frequencies on each instrument nearly all the time.
I'm sure you have all seen those charts with the frequency ranges of each instrument but it is really helpful knowing where the important punch, attack and unwanted frequencies are. I screen grabbed the EQ curves and compiled quick notes explaining why I EQ those frequencies.
This is all very source dependent but these are good starting points that should help increase clarity and reduce mud and clashes.
Another bonus is that reducing build ups at certain frequencies will gain you headroom leading to what will be perceived as a louder mix to the listener.
Really interested in hearing opinions on this.
