I wouldn't put transient shaping in the frequency sculpting category.
To the OP - I'm not exactly sure what you're looking to understand. Simply put - that's what EQ'ing is.

He could be referring to additive synthesis.

Yeah but I wouldn't consider that sculpting. Take clay work for example - you keep adding on clay until you're ready to sculpt. Sculpting with frequencies generally refers to -removing- frequencies, either via eq or filters.

@Zuzz - Looks Dope! Downloading now! Thank You!
someone told me to try Frequency Sculpting(to clean up my mix) a while back, which is in essence EQ'ing yes, but i was told to try to get all the sounds in my mix to sit better in their frequency ranges, and for some reason I am just not getting it.

I think it just means to take out frequencies from a sound using an EQ. You do this so each instrument has it's own place in the mix so your song sounds clean and not muddy.

It seems to me like its just a fancy name for EQing really. Thats all that EQing does, makes sure you have enough room for everything in the mix.
