Mixing Frequencies Table
Frequency	Boost	Cut
50 Hz - 75 Hz	Low freq. rumble, more felt than heard	Helps get rid of low freq. peaks and clips
80 Hz - 150 Hz	Typical “Bass” frequency, fattens the sound of bass instruments	Gets rid of a tubbiness to bass heavy sounds, creates a cleaner track on non-bass instruments, gets rid of a lot of industrial, mechanical, and traffic noise
150 Hz - 250 Hz	Low-mid range warmth, punchy lows, fretless bass warmth and sustain	Cleans up a muddy track, allows compression of only the more audible frequencies on vocal tracks
300 Hz - 450 Hz	Adds warmth to most guitar tracks without making them too muddy, typical blues guitar mid frequency	Cleans up a guitar track that has too much mid boost sound, cleans up guitar tracks with a lot of effects
500 Hz - 800 Hz	Adds high mid range “cut” to a track, great boost to make a rock bass guitar, or bass drum track stand out more	Takes a bit of harshness away from tracks, especially bass guitar and guitar, can make a track sound warmer
800 Hz - 1 kHz	Creates a vintage Motown electric bass sound, great for vintage electric piano sounds, or to make stereo master tracks sound more vintage	Gets rid of a nasal electric bass guitar sound, can make tom drums ring a little less
1.5 kHz - 2.5 kHz	Creates a more nasal ringing sound, can be used slightly to make a very compressed, fake sounding snare drum sound more natural.	The most desired frequency to cut to get rid of snare drum ringing, cymbal bell sound, nasal vocals. Least pleasant sounding frequency for most tracks (if something sounds BAD, try cutting this freq range)
3 kHz - 8 kHz	Bright snap sound, guitar pick and fret noise, electric bass funk slap, very audible high frequency, snare drum crispness, brightens any track	Gets rid of unwanted fret and slide noise, can make a bright track sound warmer
10 kHz - 20 kHz	Adds an airiness to tracks, especially vocal tracks, presence frequency range, creates sparkle on tracks without making them too bright, great for acoustic guitar, vocals, cymbals, and strings	Creates a more lifeless track if that is desired, gets rid of sparkle, can be good to get rid of some high frequency background noise, good to cut on bass drum, tom drums, and any track you don’t want to sound too up front in the mix
