An offending frequency is a frequency that you hear as being conflicting with elements in your arrangement. It's a frequency that's stepping on other frequencies in your mix. And, when you remove this frequency tones clear up and gain separation in you mix.

I'm not saying that this is the frequency you should be removing from your snare drum, it's just an example. Every mix is different, as is every snare drum, so every snare in every mix will need to be treated differently. Personally, I find that I need to remove some thud between 200 and 500 Hz, but, again it totally depends on the mix and the arrangement. Sometimes the arrangement does call for a big round, low end heavy snare sound. Just depends :-)

or you could just use another sample or creat your own snare

@Fishpigg I thought it was called frequency sweeping. Or is it acceptable to call them both?
-
excellent. Straight to the point!

Yes, and that's exactly why I call it the magnifying EQ technique, because it's like holding a magnifying glass over the trouble spot, it gives you a closer look.

A good spetrogram is good for this kind of thing. Think Audiition's spectral view or AG-works SG-1 if you're looking for a (free) VST.

When doing this, you're supposed t find the frequency that "rings out", like a bell, not any random frquency.

Thank you, yes, that is the point. I can't tell you what frequency it is that's bothering you in your mix, this is something everybody needs to learn for themselves, with lots of practice. (And good monitors.) The frequency that "rings out like a bell" is a great description.
