EQ’ing Intro Music

Regardless of where you got your show’s theme music from, you may want to EQ that music a bit so it sounds better alongside (and/or under) the hosts/guests voices on your show.

Most royalty-free or stock music tracks sound fine and don’t need any EQ’ing, but some tracks will simply be too bright or too bassy and boomy, etc. compared to the hosts/guests voices.

If the music is too bassy and boomy, it will make the hosts/guests voices sound more small, weak and wimpy.

If the music is too bright and sharp, it will make the hosts/guests voices sound more dull, unclear and muddy.

*Always keep in mind that small tweaks go a long way, for instance removing as little as 1/2 of a dB of some frequencies will make a world of difference.
