In this free tutorial video, you will learn how to use the Waves API 550A Eq on a guitar track. Hear how the Waves API 550A EQ can make electric guitars poke through the mix.

Paul Drew starts off by adding 15kHz to boost the air frequencies then looks at the mid-band and boost 5kHz lastly Paul dips 200Hz to reduce the mud.

Modelled on the late 1960’s legend, the API 550A EQ provides reciprocal and repeatable equalization at 15 points in 5 steps of boost, divided into three overlapping ranges. Its high and low frequency ranges are individually selectable as either peaking or shelving, and a band-pass filter can be inserted independently of all other settings.
