In which I attempt to answer the question what EQ should I be using? and go by a slightly scenic route, taking in things like phase rotation, the Pultec trick, linear phase EQ, and even detouring long enough to show you how to make a 192dB/octave crossover with Pro-Q3.

And it gives me an opportunity to talk about Cognitive Bias, which no one is immune to...

I won. Good luck getting any louder than this. You can all stop this sillyness now. Loudness doesnt matter, just make it sound good. Lots of you requested I release this mix as it apparently slaps. That means its good, right? So you should now or soon be able to find it on all the usual platforms, or here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/WSg_6Osx-eE (Youd better hope the loudness normalisation works!)

$Headphones Are Not Stereo (mid side phase trickery) In which I talk about the way LCR mixes translate to headphones, warn of the potential dangers of mono-ing your low end without listening carefully to what that does, and show you some delightful ways to add depth to your mixes. Belatedly realising my description should probably include phrases such as mid side stereo processing, sum and difference, stereo width, depth and dimension. Oh, and phase, phase rotation, all pass filters and delay. Voxengo Sound Delay (free): https://www.voxengo.com/product/sounddelay/ TDR Slick EQ GE: https://www.tokyodawn.net/tdr-vos-slickeq-ge/ I recycled some graphics content from a Fabfilter series How To Mix In Stereo Without Sucking In Mono... I hope they dont mind.

The last tip is Reaper specific, but everything else will work in any DAW.
