Frequently asked questions
What EQ settings make a voice sound better for podcasts?+
A common starting point: high-pass filter at 80 Hz (removes rumble), cut 2–3 dB at 300–400 Hz (reduces boxiness), boost 2–3 dB at 3 kHz (adds presence and clarity), gentle boost at 10–12 kHz (adds air). Every voice and microphone is different — use these as starting points and adjust by ear.
Should I EQ before or after noise reduction?+
Apply noise reduction first, then EQ. This order prevents EQ from boosting noise-floor frequencies before denoising, and ensures your EQ adjustments are working on the clean signal. After EQ, apply compression or normalisation last.
Can voice EQ fix a bad microphone or poor room acoustics?+
EQ can partially compensate for both, but has limits. A high-pass filter helps with room rumble and HVAC. Cutting the 300–500 Hz range reduces room muddiness. However, significant room reverb or a fundamentally thin microphone character can only be improved so much with EQ — treatment at the source always produces better results.
