  • How to control frequency, gain, curves, and Q

  • The five basic EQ curves and when to use each

  • Core EQ strategies (additive, subtractive, corrective, creative)

  • How to avoid common mistakes like masking and over-processing

  • How to train your ear to recognize frequencies

  • How to make better decisions in the context of a full mix
