Learn how to EQ vocals with a two-stage approach: correct distracting problems, then enhance the sound to suit the song. Working with a Chester Gregory vocal, Fab Dupont demonstrates how high-pass filtering and targeted low-mid cuts can reduce unwanted resonance and help a voice sit naturally in the mix.
Hear how subtle EQ adjustments affect clarity and consistency, and learn why compensating for level changes matters when comparing processed and unprocessed audio. Fab then uses a Pultec-style EQ with broad curves to add presence and air without making the vocal harsh.
With comparisons in solo and alongside the track, this PureMix vocal EQ tutorial connects each adjustment to a musical purpose. Discover how careful corrective and tonal EQ can create a more present, polished vocal before compression.
