Best EQ for surgical cuts?

chamelious · Feb 8th 2016

Whenever i record, especially with a distorted profile, i find i need to make 2 or 3 "surgical cuts" with EQ, that is with a very low bandwidth/high Q. Theres usually at least one for "hissssss" and one for a higher pitched screeching. Once they go back in, they hurt.

Which of the KPA's EQ's would be best suited to getting this done? Can anyone see a drawback to doing this in a live scenario?

Thanks

Studio Equalizer.

But I don't thank that You can really get it that narrow as much as you can Inside a daw. I always use the low pass to around 10-11 KHz. Works miracles

If you are able to find the good frequencies and Q-factors, the only limitation would be the number of required slots in case you need more corrections than what a single module can provide for.
Let's say that I'd look for an "upline" cure: a sage use of the noise gate and of the lowpass filter with the right profiles is usually more than enough on stage for me.
