I rarelly use more than 5-7 db gain on any eq. I might do 2 corrct or bring out stuff I tend not 2 use narrow Q values anything abouve these rules just sound 2 bad 2 me ears most of times...

I try not 2 go crazy with eq. If I want a sound 2 stand out I'll use an analise tool, find it's frq, then add small notches 2 it's harmonics 2 make it more "hearable".. or if I want more bass I'll go for a sub-harmonic maybe!

i read something recently that said that if you emphasize the harmonics of a sound, you can actually cut the base frequency, and you will still hear it due to the psycoacoustic affect of hearing the harmonics. this opens up tons of possibilities. certain acoustic instruments, such as certain types of bells, exhibit this naturally.
