its something you will learn as you begin to produce.



you only need to EQ something if you feel it requires a boost / cut at a particular frequency to get a sound you are looking for.



e.g. if you have a snare that sounds really ringy at 300Hz then you could try cutting sharply on your eq at 300hz.



some sounds do not require EQ. - if you are recording. it is best to try and get the best possibly sound from your recording rather than relying on EQ to boost frequencies after. - its always best to cut frequencies that are there than trying to boost ones that aren’t.



but its all something you will learn over time.

i would recommend not focussing on it at present. - watch some of our courses and you will see it being used
