I'm curious to know if automating EQ curves in a normal process when mixdown music

Having parts (where no bass/sub is) has a lower cut off, and then automating this to become a higher cut off when the bass/sub is present... So they sit better.
It depends on the song but yep, I do this a lot and consider this a "normal process"

Particularly for intros -- maybe the bass hasn't come in yet but the guitars are playing. So yeh, have the guitars extend lower then roll the lows off more when the bass comes in.

It's not something I try to overthink too much -- if it feels like the guitars aren't full enough I'll do it.
