I don't think I really have much to write this week. EQ I definitely understand and i have for years so its really nothing new in the learning process. Plus we've focused on it plenty over the last couple of months in the studio. The one thing I've always wondered is why does our brain perceive the midrange section to generally be so undesirable? That nasally, hollow, honking quality between the low mids and the high mids is almost always avoided and even more rarely accentuated. And so I become a psychologist and ponder the reason our mind perceives that as a bad sound. Its got to be some ancestral thing. Like its a common frequency of the sounds various predators (lions, hyenas, bears etc) produce, so it triggers an adverse reaction. Or maybe it's a certain vibrational resonance that is out of phase with the overall resonance of the human body? I intend to look into it.
