Do I have this right then, that you determine these EQ settings by looking at the reference waveform?
With
Audacity, the EQ settings are determined by ear, because there is no
frequency waveform available, like you have in "Audition". The waveform we see in
Audacity is
amplitude.
BTW..I have heard it said a lot of times that you should have a reference track to listen to.
Loading the reference tracks into
Audacity along with the track being mastered allows me to quickly and conveniently
listen back and forth for comparison, while tweaking the EQ.
Your approach of looking at the waveform is a new insight for me and I think it's going to make a big difference.
Yes, a combination of looking at the waveform and listening to your monitors yields the most accurate results. I think the ear should be the final judge, however.
Thanks for prompting me to clarify....
