In this video, you'll discover how to avoid the 3 critical EQ mistakes that 95% of music producers make (and ruin their mixes by doing so). My name is Philip from Pick Yourself, and I've created this channel to help electronic music producers like you make meaningful progress with their music.

EQ, or equalization, is a fundamental tool in mixing and mastering electronic music. However, many producers often fall into common traps that make their mixes and masters sound lifeless and boring. In this video, I'll share with you practical tips and techniques to improve your EQ skills and take your mixes and masters to the next level.

Firstly, let's talk about resonances. Don't neglect them, as they can make or break your mix. Resonances are those frequency peaks or dips that can create harsh or muddy sounds. But here's the catch: removing too many resonances can also strip away the character and warmth of your track. I'll show you how to strike the right balance and enhance your sound without sacrificing its unique qualities.

Next, let's talk about hicut and lowcut filters. While these filters can be useful in certain situations, applying them to every track indiscriminately can result in a dull and lifeless mix. I'll explain when and how to use them effectively, so you can sculpt your sound while maintaining energy and impact.

Lastly, let's debunk the myth that fancy techniques like MSprocessing, dynamic EQ, and linear phase EQ are always necessary. While they have their place in specific scenarios, applying them unnecessarily can overcomplicate your workflow and hinder your creativity. I'll guide you through a practical approach to using these techniques, helping you understand when they're truly beneficial and when they're just unnecessary distractions.

By the end of this video, you'll have a clear understanding of the critical EQ mistakes to avoid, enabling you to achieve cleaner, more balanced mixes that truly represent your artistic vision.
