I would like to make a note here: If you want a \"radio\" voice (For example, when Miku sings into the megaphone during love is war, the beginning of Kokoro when Rin is still robotic, etc) you should pretty much cut the low frequencies and raise the high. Raising high frequencies can often lead to a more robotic sound, so if you lower the low frequencies, be careful raising the high too much.
And also, every voice has it's own setting! I generally play around with my EQ for AT LEAST an hour or so until I'm happy with it o: so these are more general rules and not strict guidelines!
Yep, this is all quite true! Though me, if I want a radio effect, I'll just apply a strong high-pass filter.

Hmm....two questions Cdra.
With ReaEQ I often use the default Clear singer and Full singer preset EQs - would you say they're good or inadequate? Second, do you think ReaFir (Another REAPER EQ thing) is better for custom EQing or worse?
*goes to look because so much Reaper noob 8D;* From what I can see, those presets look fine, but as Aleks and I mentioned, every voice has its own optimum EQ--and that may even be different depending on the song
. So while both of those presets are okay (depending on the effect you want), more than anything they'd make a great starting point to build a custom EQ setting from, because they've got a lot of your general settings built in already which makes it easy to tweak from there. *nod*
As for ReaFir, it looks fine to me--it might be a little easier to use given the way the curves flow, but that's up to user preference. From playing with it for a minute, I think it's a bit more customizable, though if you're going to use it you should be sure to change the range of volume that you're shifting (with -90 to +24, it's really hard to see the details!). Most equalizers display from -12 to +12, so I recommend changing your range to something closer to that so you can be more precise.

Just wanted to pop in with this:
Equilibre
It's a free equalization VST. I haven't tried it in Audacity but it has a much friendlier interface then the default Audacity one.
I'm not too handy with EQ so I look forward to actually reading this tutorial through hahaha
edit: ah! I never thought of looking at it that way. I usually just section off their voice to a certain frequency range and call it a day...I'm gonna have to play around with peaks more, I think XD;;
Hnn... while that may be true, Audacity is still stuipidly flawed in that you can't listen to the track while you're altering the EQ--you can't listen to it while you're applying any effect as far as I can tell, so that's what the problem would be. Being able to see/hear your volumes as you EQ in Reaper and FL Studio is really helpful ewe Equilibre looks nice though! Honestly this tutorial can be carried over to basically any equalizer you may have access to, so yeah~
Thanks everyone! ovo Feel free to keep asking questions!
