Hi Ed :

Thanks for the reply.

I guess what I'm asking is about specific techniques regarding EQ.

One example : Kick and Bass

To start, let's say the song is in the key of E and, as an example, the Kick Drum is very prominent around 80 Hz.

One mix/EQ technique is to get the bass "sitting" above the fundamental of the Kick. But, if you start pulling out ~82 Hz wouldn't you be sucking out agood chunk of the fundamental frequency of the bass ?

Do you guys consider the key of the song when applying EQ ?
