Leslie Brathwaite enhances the crispness and presence of electronic hi-hats in a hip-hop mix using the Waves Q10 and UAD Precision EQ.
He starts by rolling off the low end with the Q10 EQ to focus on the hi-hat's higher frequencies, ensuring a clean and clear sound.
To add extra sparkle, Brathwaite boosts the 27kHz frequency by about 4dB using the UAD Precision EQ, giving the hi-hats a subtle yet noticeable crispness that helps them stand out in the mix.
