Thanks for the trick. Makes alot of sense. Sometimes proper EQ settings become so elusive,especially late at night after working on a tune all day.

all the best

joe, i cannot tell you how helpful this video is for me. i am struggling with exactly this right now with some recordings — and knowing that you need a better-trained ear doesn’t help you to GET one. this will. thank you!

Thanks Josh. I actually just discovered that little trick myself. I think it’s Shift + Control on the Mac. Actually, I just came across this article today that explains it: http://musformation.com/2009/06/pro-tools-tip-of-the-day-use-eq3-for-effects-in-band-solo-mode.html

I just hold Shift+Windows key (PC) and that allows me to just hear the frequency bell curve I have selected. I don’t know what it is for Macs, but mess around with it cause I’m pretty sure it works for you guys too.

Note: I’ve found it only works in the EQ 3 plug-ins.
