It will be a few more months before the studio will be up and running and I might have to go back and read up on my own work as well as the other great contributors, because what you don't use you lose and after over 1 year of not touching a mixer or instrument I feel like I am just starting all over again.

I do look forward to getting back into mixing and recording.

This EQ thing was definetely the MOST IMPORTANT thing I read on FP and anywhere.

Since I started to deal with EQ things to its place and started to deal with frequencies and the way they effect each other my sound developed to whole another level.

Since I simply cut my bass frequencies out of my pianos, strings or any lead instrument my bass drum started to hit like it never did before. My bassline also not lost in the mix anymore.

I'm starting to realize that the most important and biggest advices I been gave are the simpliest ones, like how to use EQ or don't overcompress, ....
