Thanks,
Sioux
All that information above came from Tutorial 33 "CM guide to EQ" It's all on page 2.

Here's the link to the source of the information above.
http://www.computermusic.co.uk/tutorial/eq/1.asp
Also, the same information that is posted in this tread, is in a tread at FutureProducers.

Here's the link to the tread, it's 10 pages long. http://www.futureproducers.com/forums/s ... ghlight=eq
Read through this thread and you'll find everything there, and more.

Peace.

Well, well Mr. Webb,
For your Information, I have around 4 Gig Textfiles dealing with with EQ only.
Now, my entire Info base on mixing and mastering exceeds 15 Gig Text in total as of today.
It is a collection from more than 7 years. Some of it is copied from the web, some of it is scanned from books, some of it is written by me, some of it is from SAE, some of it is from University of Cologne, and some of it is from various Professors in musik and musiktheory, as well as mastering engineers I work with in the USA, UK and Germany I exchange letters with weekly.
If you should ever come to Ireland just pop in and I burn you a few DVD's from it, you may print and use them as a background for your photography, I am sure you would not have a copyright problem Mr Webb.
Now, have a productive day in Brooklyn.

in addition....
I usually go through considerable efforts and time to contribute useful postings that people can utilize right way, particulary in this mix&mastering section!
I think this must have been one of your first if not the very first post here since this section is opened.
I can not possibly tell you from where and what all this information that I have in my SQL-DB and which I use daily in my work is originated, except when I have scans from books, and I dont think I ever posted such here.
But if you feel you that you gain satisfaction of investigating and finding the sources of the knowledge that I provide here in this section in particular, feel free to do so. Alternatively I could send you my SQL-DB and you could start adding from where and what you are able to find origins, how about that?

Please don't forget to provide attribution for anything quoted from other sources, especially magazines. The reason I mention it, is only because of the legal implications for this site ... I certainly don't want to curtail the thoughtful passing on of extremely useful information.
Thank you,
Darren.

As I said, I have around 15 Gigs of docu on audio/midi in my personal knowldge management collection.
No I did not add a "source flag" to every single document just In case I may post something out of my collection. And I dont see a need to post the sources other than from books or publications that have copyrights in them, this I most certainly would.
But threads for example that are posted on public boards or private conversation etc. etc. do not require such in my understanding as long as there is no one getting anal about his intellectual property.
And btw. the mentioned CM is not on my bookmarks and I dont read it anyways. So I suppoe the other link could have been the source, but I am not too sure about this.
I do some datamining and have a software that bots his way around the Internet and searches for specific parameters and feeds me back, some sort of audioengineer datamining so to speak.
I do not remember to have posted anything ever that would require attribution for given legal implications and I tried to provide and share useful stuff here, however, I will not use my own database for further posting here.

You're right, the Future Producers forum is evidently not as anal as me about such thingsBut threads for example that are posted on public boards or private conversation etc. etc. do not require such in my understanding as long as there is no one getting anal about his intellectual property.

No I did not add a "source flag" to every single document...
Speaking as a software engineer, I'd be tempted to add such a thing as it would help to stop the bot from finding the same thing twice on successive scans or to detect updates to original source material.

Today is the first day I got up the nerve to investigate the chats in Mastering and Mixing and I must say I am just a whole bunch intimidated by the whole thing. I have nothing but a Triton Studio and I thought (foolishly) that I had great control over my finished product. I do music as a hobby and have been playing something or other since I was six, let's just say a very long time. I have been paying more attention to the final mix from my TS though lately, playing the same song on different devices, at different volumes. My old analog songs from the 80's only sounded good at full volume and then the muddiness was so bad it was hard to get into. Thanks for this post. I will take my mixes more seriously now. Maybe I should buy some software for my computer that will help me to master the finished thing better. I'll read more of these posts. I'm sure there's more great tips here. Thanks guys.

Bear posted this around the time (Nov. 2003) that I was doing mixdowns on my CD. I have no idea how many times I referred to that message (which I printed) during that time.
I understand, about giving credit where it's due, but not once did I think about where that information originated from.
I was just damn glad to have it!
I have knowledge that I've acquired over the years, and I freely share it with anyone who needs it. I would hate to have to try and attribute everything, that would stifle it completely. Too much trouble! Not worth the effort, just to help someone out!
That would be good, right!
("Let's see where did I read that? who wrote that article? screw it I have no clue!")
Let them find their own freakin information!
How's that sound?
Thanks again Bear.
Regards.
Stephen
