Workflow question (high pass filter / normalizing / balancing levels)
detroit lightning:
I have a recording that is about 3db off between channels, and also a bit bass heavy. I'm using audacity and eventually found running the high pass filter at 120 / 6db pretty satisfactory. Would be the right sequence to balance the tracks & apply the EQ?
Thanks!

Just throwing this out there, but if you're not already aware this is a great EQ plugin for Audacity: https://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-nova/

Awesome - thank you! Will definitely check this out. Any tips on using it? I haven't went too far into EQ, but realize I have a lot to gain by trying...so this is good timing.
jerryfreak:
i always normalize last, because a lot of processes will change the levels
i also always EQ both channels independently to same RMS volume, regardless of how far they are off (say just 1 dB vs 3-6dB, same process)

Experiment with it. That's what I've done (of course reading the documentation is also an option, but where's the fun in that). Something that's been particularly useful is the dynamic EQ it can do. Once you get it installed just mess with it a bunch.
