Re: Taking the harshness out of a vocal audio recording

2010-07-17 by k_e_moeller

harshness usually means unwanted energy in the upper middle range or high frequencies.  there's an EQ in Logic which allows you to SEE the audio energy across the frequency spectrum in real time.

I'd cut everything over 10KHz by 12Db and then start carving off the frequencies under that.  Listen with your best headphones.

good luck.  this is what EQ is for.
