I am sorry if this is a real noob question. But the sheer number of digital equalizers is so overwhelming. Is hoarding a natural part of music production? What about if you opt to only use one digital equalizer does that cover all bases in either mixing or mastering?

A parametric equalizer (EQ) is like a sculptor's tool for shaping sound. Just as a sculptor uses different tools to shape a block of wood into a specific form, a parametric EQ allows a record producer or a sound engineer to adjust specific frequencies of an instrument in order to shape it into...

A soft clipper is a type of audio signal processing effect that limits the amplitude of an input signal. It does this by gradually reducing the level of the source material as it approaches the maximum level that the clipper is set to e.g., 0 dBFS or -1 dBFS. This helps to prevent the audio...

The use of two brickwall maximizers in audio mastering is known as double or serial limiting. How you use this technique is you carefully chop off the transients. You set the first mastering limiter's recovery (or release time) to be fast. The second brickwall limiter's recovery time has got to...

An audio plug-in is 3rd party software program that can be added to a digital audio workstation (DAW) to extend its native library. These digital audio extensions are often used as effects, such as audio analyzers, reverb, delay, chorus, compression, and EQ, to correct or enhance sound...
