    The document provides an EQ chart to help identify common frequency ranges that impact the tone and sound of various instruments and vocals. It lists frequency bands from 20Hz to 20kHz and descriptions of what cutting or boosting those frequencies can add or reduce, such as "warmth", "boomy", "edgy", "air", etc. The chart then provides estimated frequency ranges that are most important for the tone of various instruments like kick drum, bass guitar, piano, and vocals to help identify where to cut or boost frequencies when equalizing audio tracks.

    - Cut frequencies to take away the descriptions listed below
    - Boost frequencies to add the descriptions below
    - Boost and sweep left & right to find an unwanted freq or desired freq, then cut or boost
    if you need more or less
    -Subtractive EQ (cutting out the bad to reveal the good) is a good practice
