[RWP] EQ questions

[Crystal Dennis]

Not really a Reaper question but a general mixing question.

I know how EQ works, but I have a lot of trouble using it:  I sort of
just guestimate with the frequencies (educatedly:  I can tell when I'm
brightening/dampening a frequency, but not what frequency it is) so my
question is:  is there anyway to train your ear on what frequencies
you are tinkering with/what frequency you have changed to with the
frequency control?

I've asked my sighted friends, but they have a hard time explaining
because they just look at the wave of the frequency, so I thought I'd
ask here.

I also use the free niquist EQ plugin from magnis if that helps.

Thanks,
Crystal
