eq peice of song

Is there a way to eq part of a song rather than the whole thing? I've got parts of song that have a lot of low end and is muffled can I eq these parts? I've loaded the eq fx but do not see how to eq just parts of the song.

You can highlight a section of a file in Wavosaur and apply procesiing to it easily! Zoom in to sample level if it suits you It goes without saying you get to use the vst of your choice

alternatively, use the S key to split the wave in different spots, and shift-E to apply effects just to the selected part of the wave. cross fade the fx part with the surrounding parts to get the fx to apply gradually. it still sounds like you're trying to fix some problem the wrong way, though. if you haven't read any starters guides to home recording that might be a good start.

what about reafir? insert reafit in the master or instrument track. choose compressor in the dropdown menu - set the ratio to about 2 or 3 to 1. now watch the spectrogram at the parts u mean - when u see the peaks in the muffled parts draw a decent line over that frequencies - try around.

jiffy999, you are going to get a dozen answers for this. Here is what I would do... Use Voxengo SPAN () on the offending track to identify the frequencies that are getting away from you. Once you figure out what they are, use ReaEQ to filter them, perhaps using a notch or band filter. If done correctly, this should not negatively affect the rest of your track. Play with the 'Bandwidth' parameter in ReaEQ to adjust the frequency range that is affected. When using SPAN, if you mouse over the graph, the top right corner will show you the exact frequency under your mouse pointer. ReaEQ rules, and will let you type that frequency into a text box beside the 'Frequency (Hz)' slider. Another option is for you to render the offending track and post it here. That way, a couple people can download it to see exactly what is going wrong and suggest a very straight forward fix for you. kf

A couple or three solutions: 1) Duplicate the offending track.. and then edit it so that all the ok parts are on the old track, and all the parts that need EQ are on the new track. Then EQ the new track. 2) Read up about automation in the user guide. You can automate the Bypass on the eq plugin, to turn it on just for the times it is needed. 3) For real flexibility, automate just the Db gain/reduction of the specific band you want. (Best if you need to vary the amount over time, and if splitting the track or automating bypass causes some clicks)

Jiffy, From what I understand you have a single track with acoustic guitar, of which a part does not sound the way you like it, but the rest is fine. Why don't you split (place marker, press S) the track so that the non-good part becomes its own media item, and then apply the EQ FX only to that particular part (select part, press F2, click FX icon on the Media Item Properties dialog)?

Could also try the Spectro plugin (eval version comes with Reaper).. Or use multi band compression, to limit the band you want , but not touch it when it is below the threshold.

I'd consider adding a highpass to the whole track. If I had to guess, the parts that sound fine now won't really be affected, and the boomier parts should be corrected.
