Well, considering I work at 44.1KHz most of the time, I would be suprised to hear anything at 24KHz

Your ears may suck, but I trust mine better than I trust my eyes..

WHAT WE HEAR FROM THE SPEAKERS IS NOT WHAT IS ACTUALLY WHAT IS BEING HEARD

You mean "actually being played"? Because what I hear from my speakers is exactly what is being heard. Yeah, I was in the woods when that bear farted.

cammaaaaannn you think you can make mix decisions above 16khz without a spectral monitor of some kind? If you can you should donate your ears to science immediatly...

Yea ok your groovin to the nice beat at 18khz (my arz)... Dude your speakers hear those freqs but you dont.. Just like our eyes dont see the whole spectrum...

just to answer your question: The best EQ curve for each instrument is none whatsoever because you got the sound spot-on at source.

If you fail to acheive that and are forced to correct your mistakes with EQ, then your settings will depend on the mistakes you made, and need to be tailored specifically to correct them. ie: they will be different every time.

As a general rule though: use wider bandwidths (lower "Q" values of around 0.7) for a natural sound, and narrower curves (Q > ~1.4) when trying to surgically correct problems in specific frequency bands.

Try cutting instead of boosting whenever possible, usually with narrower curves (higher "Q" values) for cutting than for boosting.

Try to ignore any pretty graphic curve display they show you, and edit using parameter values and your ears. (If you can't trust your ears or your monitors you need to train them or upgrade them. Simple as that!)

I mean if you filter all sounds under like 16 or so.. try to make a proper decision on how the remainding freqs should be balanced then talk to me.. ya heard... hahaha

"Try cutting instead of boosting whenever possible," you know I never got that negative mixing thing.. A couple of ppl have told me that b4 but I only use that if I need to simmer down some deviant audio....

My god, it's JP22 from http://www.recording.org/ftopic-30855-d ... asc-0.html

Asks a question then tells everyone who gives advice to f**k off.

Nice!

Are you Jp22 by any chance?

"Try to ignore any pretty graphic curve display they show you, and edit using parameter values and your ears. (If you can't trust your ears or your monitors you need to train them or upgrade them. Simple as that!)" but I just cant do it!! I must have a gui to tell me what Im doing...
Plus i figure digital enviroment digital solution.. I never had this problem with analoge (like my ears)..

Yea see what I mean about misinterpretation of the human senses?? I said FVK off?

could you try that in english please?

Thnx for the advice guys...

Listen, people provided you with the answers to your questions. You told them they couldn't be right because your ears suck. A couple more people hinted at the fact that the particular "lean" on your eq graph at 24Khz is going to have no useful impact whatsoever.

What format do you want to get your music pressed on? CD's? 24Khz doesn't exist. Vinyl? The high-end will wear out after 10 plays. Trust me, if you're not happy with your mix, I'd be willing to bet it has nothing to do with frequencies over 16Khz.

What is the best EQ curve and effect to achieve it?
