What others are saying about EQ Strategies - Your Ultimate Guide to EQ:
"Bjorgvin knows what we need to know, and he shares it all, in easy to understand, easy to digest bites. Bjorgvin explains filtering, boosting, cutting, notch filters, bell curves, and “Q”, how to “sweep” or find frequencies that need cutting, and so much more, and all of it in very good detail. Bjorgvin is a great teacher, too, and that really lends to the level of training that is unfolding here inside EQ Strategies. If you are trying to wrap your head around EQ, how to apply EQ in order to get way better tracks and much better sounding complete songs, EQ Strategies is what you are looking for."
Kern Ramsdell // Live Sound Engineer
"So complete that, although have purchased other great resources from other respectable sites, this really is the only one that I need, if I had to choose one. Secondly, while videos are very helpful, I can reference your books quickly while mixing. This may sound tedious, but I printed your EQ/mixing ebooks and had them bound. I don't like clutter and can't have training stuff all over the place. The EQ and mixing books are on top of my Yamaha HS7's and thats it; nothing else. The books are jammed with USEFUL stuff; hands on real mixing pointers...This hobby became so frustrating that I almost quit until I discovered some of the home studio training and now, your e-books which are my reference books. I'll stay tuned for any more products from you. Buying a bunch of gear is ridiculous, ( as I've learned from experience), without first investing in becoming an engineer."
Anonymous // Audio Issues Customer
"An immediate and hugely practical understanding of the frequency spectrum and fantastic examples of positive and negative aspects of the key audio frequency bands as related to achieving better mixes. A superbly comprehensive and humorously written book by someone with lots of of a practical experience, that beats many video tutorials on this subject. Plus you can have a comprehensively indexed pdf to hand for quick referencing while mixing without needing to fire up a video tutorial and scrub through the timeline hoping to find what you're looking for!"
Alan Doyle // Home Studio Musician
"The EQ tips that have helped the most have to do with the bass guitar and kick drum. I'm able to get a clean and tight low end on this song I'm working on. I cut some of the mud out of the kick and bass, then I let the kick have a little extra 50 Hz and added a little bit around 800 Hz on the bass guitar. That made the low end clear and punchy. This song has an acoustic guitar as one of the main instruments and I decided to put a HPF up to 200 Hz and added a little bit around 3 kHz and and it sounds good so far. This is a great guide to get things moving in the right direction!!! Thank You!!!!"
Jeff Smith // Mixing Engineer
"The impression I got from the Course, and from your site in general, is that you are one of the rare few who has both the ability to understand complex technical concepts and the ability to effectively communicate them in common, every day language. A few of the tips I got from the course really did make a noticeable difference in a couple of projects I am working on. The course gave me a good sense of your style and the fact that there so much useful information for free led me to believe that the stuff you have to pay for must be really great (which I later found to be true)...I am very impressed with everything. The quality of the material is fantastic and the publications are beautiful. The graphics, the layout, the videos are all very impressive. It really is a lot for the money and I am really excited about learning. Thank you very much."
David Cox // Home Studio Musician and Engineer
"The EQ Course was eye opening in many ways. Having had basically no previous information on mixing, the course really gave me a sense of how essential EQ'ing is to the process. It helped me take my mixes from muddy and boomy to fairly clear, and definitely helped me get some punch into kicks and basses. Some really basic things that i hadn't even considered, which really changed the way i approach music: like EQ'ing the reverb and delay effects themselves to avoid conflicts on different frequencies...it does an effective job of squeezing much information into little time, and the formulations are clear and pedagogical. The amount of useful information i gained from the course was impressive and I am extremely grateful for having been given these gems!"
