Did I ever say how much I love this freakin' site?
Okay, I think I have a better understanding about how this all works. I've never really used a spectral analysis, but after analyzing a couple sections where there is heavy bass it appears my "spikes" occur b/w 40-60Hz. So I set the Q equalizer in Wavelab to 50Hz and -12dB
(please check out the attached image to let me know if I did have the settings right). That sounded pretty good because it cut the bass causing the muddy sound, I think
I tried a couple other settings (50Hz and -6dB / 60Hz and -12dB / 120Hz and -12dB). They all yielded different results. Since my "spikes" were occurring around 50Hz, I think I'm going to stick with that.
My questions are:
-For people who use Wavelab: Am I doing this correctly?
-Is 50Hz and -12dB considered a "modest rolloff"?
-I think I understand what I'm looking for in the Hz "spikes" on the spectral analysis. How can I determine what kind of db slope to use by looking at the spectral analysis?
-I guess this is technically considered applying EQ?
Thanks for all the advise so far. +T's.
It's just another case of trial and error with no right or wrong answer....just like everything else involved in this hobby
