Sound Editing for visual media Ep06: How to use an EQ in Sound Design
In this episode we will talk about how to apply EQ to Sound Effects. We'll start with a BG track, then move on to a Sound Effect, and finally talk about some common EQ tricks that directors often ask for.
As usual, I cut down a lot of crucial info for time, all of which you can find in this week's blog post:

Also, in the video I will refer to my submission to the SOE sound Design Competition, which I won. You can watch it here. It's only 30 seconds but packs a ton of Sound Design and nothing else!
