Hi,
I've been reading more and more about EQ since I am slowly getting back into producing - I just need a faster PC. Anyway, I was just curious about songs made before all engineers had the EQ knowledge that we have now.
What songs in the 80s and 90s had muddiness in their EQ, or on a particular instrument or sample?
Did engineers of the 80's know about "everything in its own space", EQ boosting and cutting, panning, putting stuff in the front/back of the mix (not just low volume), etc? I wonder when engineers realized "the mudiness area" and agreed on it almost unanimously?
As important as I think good EQ is, I am not overly concerned with super clean. I like grit. It adds a mid-90s Hiphop vibe.
Would Hiphop/RNB of the 90s sound the same with today's 1Khz high shelf +30dB boosts, over-airiness, and 50000:1 compression?
