024 -  Ear Memory , Part 2
My first DSP article was about hearing what equalization frequencies sound like for general tone adjustment in mastering. In this article I demonstrate hearing what varying the bandwidth sounds like.

The Bandwidth Parameter

In article one in this column, I presented a series of demo cuts that had energy boosted and cut at different frequencies for training to hear the characteristic of tone change for different octaves.  Training your ear to hear different frequencies is important to performing the functions of mixing and mastering.

Another important parameter to use in equalization during mastering is the bandwidth, which is set with the "Q" control of the equalizer.  The demos presented here are designed to start training your ear to hear bandwidth - how many frequencies around the center frequency are boosted by a similar amount.
