What kind of issues can you run into with narrow peaks/dips?

Since it is measured on a rig, often those peaks will either be in a different area when on your own head. So you might accidentally be EQing the wrong way. As well some narrow dips are phase cancelations in which it doesn't matter if you try EQ it back, the dip will still be there regardless

Ah, okay that makes sense and matches my own experience. If I'm making narrow filters I'll usually start with 12+db and sweep the FR with it to pin point what I want to address.

I'll need to look into phase cancellations as I keep seeing that term come up a lot lately.

Thanks!
