Vocal EQ with Plugins

Generally, the first step in mixing vocals from a console is to tonally shape the sound of our sources. Let's look at how to use high-pass filters, low-pass filters, and EQ on live vocals using plugins from Waves.

Key Points:
  • Using High-Pass and Low-Pass filters as a starting place on vocals can help reduce noise and mud from the vocal.
  • A simple and effective way to find problem frequencies is to first boost that area, narrow down on the specific range, and then cut that frequency.
