So let's just pop that down to one where I'd normally have it and let's just have another listen. ItРІР‚в„ўs making all the guitars really aggressive and exciting, and the mids, and also the vocals popping out. So, as I said, you can hear what that's doing. So if you listen to the vocal, when I play this, let's hear what that's doing. But really, I'd only do it maximum 1dB or half a dB. So as I said, I'm doing this at 2dB at the moment. But what we're doing, we're lifting up the whole of the mid channel on a shelf. That means it's going to be quite sharp lifting up. Change that say it's hitting around so the bottom of it starting around 800Hz there. I would never ever suggest that you do this by 3, because there's so many things going on in the central section, in the tops that you're really going to pull a lot of stuff out. But what we'll do just we'll lift it by 2 or 3, just so you can really hear what's happening. And we want to put this to a frequency around 1.7k. What we're looking for is just a top shelf. So what we'll do, we want to get this really pumpy and fighty.

So what we want to do, if we listen to this track, first of all, we'll get used to how that sounds. So we now know whatever EQ we put on here is just going to be doing the central channel, the mid channel, not the outside side stuff. And that will take you into this section. So you're not doing left and right stereo, you're doing mid and side. So if you can't see this mid side here, you need to go into the settings here and select mid side from here. One of those, what that does is it gives you the option then for using it in mid side as in the central channel and what's happening on the side of the music. So it's a lot more, um, it's a lot cleaner and a lot better sounding. Now what we want to do is go for the Juul, mano, not the stereo, the linear phase we're using because we're using a stereo track in a kind of mastering situations. So you got to go careful with this it's can be quite lethal. When I haven't got the mix to play with, haven't got the stems to play with and I've just got to give them a bit of vibe, this is what I do. I do this a lot just to live and tracks up and really get them a bit of attitude and aggression. So here we're going for some instant energy. I've got a stereo track that was sent in by a viewer. Today, I'm going to show you a really simple EQ trick to add loads of energy to a stereo file.
