== Using Para EQ to solve a problem frequency ==
In this example a Bassist was having a problem with a resonant note (B flat).


=== Bassist With Excessive Resonance at B flat ===

=== Another Approach to Eliminating a Boomy Note ===

Here is one method to eliminate a boomy note


a) set the level of the para EQ to a cut, say -10 dB
a) set the level of the para EQ to a cut, say -10 dB

* 2nd octave on the guitar is from 160 Hz to 320 Hz (E3 to E4), A3 is at 220 Hz
* 2nd octave on the guitar is from 160 Hz to 320 Hz (E3 to E4), A3 is at 220 Hz

Hope that helps
If you have an Acoustic Guitar that is picking up low end thump from a percussive right hand technique use the Para EQ with settings like this.

The default settings seem to work okay for me.

=== Wind Noise  ===
:A microphone responds to the movement of air and it does not care what caused the air to move.  This means that a mic cannot distinguish between air movement originating from a talker, and air movement originating from local weather.  Wind noise is a persistent problem with microphones but there are multiple ways to minimize unwanted noise.
 
:Wind noise has a large amount of low frequency (bass) content, often described as “rumble.”  Cutting out the extreme bass from a microphone signal is an effective method to reduce audible wind noise.

Use the ParaEQ (Woody B called it the notch filter)
 
:I had an extremely windy gig last night. Even with windscreens on the mics they still had the wind rumble. I used the notch filter on my T1 to notch the wind sound out. I don't believe it's called a notch filter on the T1, but I don't remember the correct name. I just turned the volume way up, and adjusted the frequency until the wind noise was gone. I tried using the noise gate, but if it was high enough to eliminate the wind it also eliminated most of the vocals. Usually wind screens solve any wind problems I have, but the wind was so strong I kept my guitar case on stage to sit my guitar in, instead of using a stand. I believe the wind would have blown it over.
