Creating Drum Sounds In Reaper<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Reaper\u2019s built-in plugin suite is fantastic.<\/h2>\n<p>Called the ReaSuite, Reaper comes fully loaded with its own plugins so you don\u2019t have to worry about purchasing third-party software right away!<\/p>\n<p>The ReaEQ is a particularly great EQ with the ability to add as many bands as you want. Its default is 4, which is a perfect starting point, but you can tailor the plugin to your liking! ReaEQ also has a frequency analyzer helping you pinpoint where to make certain EQ moves.<\/p>\n<p>Start by loading an instance of ReaEQ on the desired track or bus. In this segment, Glenn has his guitar tracks routed to a bus so he can EQ all of them at once. Using a <strong>high-pass filter at 90 Hz<\/strong>, he gets rid of excess low end in the guitars which was making them sound muddy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>High and low shelf<\/strong> settings work like the bass and treble controls on your home stereo, turning up or down all of the highs or lows past the selected frequency<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nThe <strong>notch<\/strong> setting is for surgical EQ to remove frequencies you really don\u2019t like. Use the notch with a big boost to \u201csweep\u201d for unpleasant frequencies and pull them down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Band<\/strong> is most used for basic EQ moves like cuts and boosts. A general rule of thumb is to use wide bands when boosting and narrow bands when cutting. The width of the band can be adjusted using the \u201cBandwidth\u201d parameter on ReaEQ.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s really no right or wrong way to EQ\u2013only what sounds good given the source material![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGYTNUR2k0TXlkbjglMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXIlM0IlMjBhdXRvcGxheSUzQiUyMGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYSUzQiUyMGd5cm9zY29wZSUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUyMiUyMGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/promixacademy.com\/eqing-metal-guitars-in-reaper-cheatsheet\/\">Download the free EQ\u2019ing Metal Guitar in Reaper Cheatsheet<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Glenn Fricker is one of YouTube\u2019s most well known audio engineers and educators, with millions and millions of views on his recording and mixing tutorials.
