          I made quite a few posts 10 years ago in this similar Gearslutz thread (starting at #28):
          EQ tips and start points for us beginning idiots

          Hope it's useful!

                      EQ cheats are a big help in finding out what frequencies equate to what problem or solution. It's helped me carve out an approach for myself with mixes. Knowing what boxy, muddy harsh, honky sound like and where to find it makes Eqing decisions come quicker. I've found the more time I spend fiddlin around with eq the worse my mix gets. I like to listen, make Eq moves and move on and the cheat sheets are a great start.
