This is Music Production. A place to share anything and everything you want about your music making journey! Learning is the goal, so discussion is encouraged!

RIP Waveform.

Rules are as follows:

Don't share other people's music without commentary, analysis or questions. This is not a music discovery community.
No elitism or bigotry towards other people's music tastes. Be polite in disagreement.

I will update rules as necessary, but I promise we'll stay light on them and only add new ones after discussion!

Here are some useful examples of what a great post would be about:

Good to know: As a general word of caution, avoid posting complete compositions, mixes and tracks on the internet before backing them up on a remote and reputable server. Even small snippets or watermarked tracks should be posted AFTER backing it up to cloud. Timestamps from cloud services will help you in case of theft. And, as a public resource, lemmy is not a safe place to post your unpublished work, so please make sure your work is protected.

Equalizers do not have any effect on vibrato. As you said, it only allows you to selectively enhance or reduce specific frequencies of the sound you're listening to. So if you set your eq to a sine wave pattern, it will just cut off and increase frequency bands alternately across the spectrum. So it will enhance and reduce the bass frequency at different points, same as with the mids and highs. In the end you'll get a fairly flat response with some missing tones throughout.
