I'm going to take some screenshots of some EQ curves I use for a few different voices and song types, to give you an idea of how they look. so it's not too important to worry about them excessively. That is to say, the mid-range is just most of your vocal tone and the highest range is usually noise and more consonant-y things. (NOTE: you'll need a visual EQ to tell this, but if they seem uneven, balance them out). The ranges not specifically listed above don't do anything of note-increase them if they seem quiet or decrease them if they seem loud. ![]() However, be careful as to how much you increase it! Too much will cause sibilance on your "s"/"z"/"sh"/etc sounds-and that is really horrible to listen too. Boosting this range will increase enunciation and improve pronuncation-so I always increase it. It's important to treat this range with care. The 10000-12000Hz (10-12kHz) range: This range contains your consonants.The ~7000Hz (7kHz) range: This range can be boosted to make a dull vocalist more energetic.Crazy stuff, right? I almost always boost this range a good bit, but on really soft, smoky songs, I'll cut it instead. BUT, what if you want soft, breathy vocals? Cut this range and it'll soften up a strong vocalist and add a breathier sound. Boosting this is key to strong, clear vocals. The 3000-5000Hz (3-5kHz) range: This is arguably the most important frequency range for a vocal-the mid-treble to treble range. Fruity Parametric EQ 2 was updated along with FL Studio 20.8 to include A new Frequency Histogram display, Linear Phase mode with artifact free high slew-rate modulation capability, Band Mute switches, Solo bands, improved Finite Impulse Response (FIR) down sampling filter and updated UI including Phase Rotation display, Mid/Side/L/R frequenc.I usually boost it slightly unless my vocalist is really thick, then I'll reduce a little. However, if you find the timbre too thick or colorful for say, a softer song, cut this range slightly to get a thinner vocal effect. If your vocalist is low, you'll definitely want to boost this range to bring out all the color of their timbre. The 200-300Hz range: This range contains the "thickness" and "color" of the voice.For EQing REALLY low voices, you will still want to do this, if a bit more carefully. I always cut this range down as far as I can it improves the vocal quality and clarity. The >100Hz range: This range usually contains the lowest sounds-breathiness and hoarseness.Here's a list of your basic frequency ranges for ease of use: Basically, you're going to boost and cut frequencies according to the effect you want for the song, and also according to the voice you're EQing. The EQ curve is all you really need to worry about. Now then, all of these have some parameters on there I don't know exactly what do and honestly, they aren't all that important. STILL, you can definitely use Audacity's EQ if you really wanna or can't use the Reaper trial for some reason, the results are just a little less precise. ![]() That's why I recommend the other two Reaper's trial version is free, full, and indefinite, so if nothing else go grab that. ![]() Which is an incredibly awful letdown to me. What makes these equalizers different, though, is that the Audacity EQ doesn't have a visual frequency display, and you can't listen to your track while you're EQing. They all have pretty similar parameters, as you can see, so anything I say here will apply to all three.
