Andrew Scheps’ Tips on Using the Scheps 73 EQ Plugin 

I love the fact I understood everything he was talking about. There was once a time where I'd sit there baffled.

A great plugin indeed. I've used it to replace most of the EQ's in most of my tracks. Dramatically improved the overall feel and tone of them.

Andrew Scheps is the Gandalf of the mixing world. A wizard.

Scheps is taking over the plugin industry. Looking into getting parallel particles. He's on a roll

i love his little lesson on M/S mixing

It's a great sounding and versatile eq. I tend to use the Lindell 80 because of the full channel strip, but I still use the Scheps 73 on certain elements, a lot of times just for the preamp grit. Love that on my distorted bass tracks. Andrew has become one of my favorite voices in mixing. I bet he'd be a blast to sit down with. Just a cool cat.

This was an incredible video, with lots of great insight. Most importantly, it has inspired me to dig a little deeper into M/S technique, especially regarding piano.

I can listen to Andrew for days!! So simple yet articulate... #djrtnyc

I really love the distortion from the pre amp!

Love that man and his plugin. One of the best!

I love Scheps and everything he stands for. What a great dude!

one of the best plugin that i have!

I picked up Scheps 73 when I got Scheps Omni Channel (the BEST channel strip) and unexpectedly it turned out to be my favorite EQ. In my experience it just does what I need an EQ to do -- but its faster for me to dial in what I need, and it has a subtle color that is always an improvement over more transparent EQs. It just sounds good!

Great - I love that widening preset!

I love the explanation for use of M/S eqing on instruments and stereo bus. Damir

I absolutely love that they've added M/S-processing, because like Andrew pretty much explained it does make more sense (or at least make it more versatile) than just having L/R-processing. - When I started using this only a couple of years ago as a beginning "engineer", I immediately "got" it and it's how I like to use any plug-in that supports it by default. But I don't understand why engineers with probably decades of experience, such as Scheps himself, need to "wrap their heads around it". I've heard them say more often that they "were starting to understand it". And I get that in those decades of experience they've likely always used L/R-processing, and that it might be hard to suddenly switch your brain to "M/S-mode" basically, but I don't find it to be that complicated. If anything it's a bit more logical when thinking of a stereo field (even though it's a mix of the left and right channels). - It's just either everything down the middle or just the sides, kind of like if you'd take the 3 front speakers in a 5.1-setup... Kind of (cause it's mixed differently, but still)... Anyway, I love it. It makes for much deeper editing and creating separation and even width and so on. I mean, you can do all this with just L/R-processing like in the old days, but it takes a lot more precision setup, recording, mixing, and perhaps mastering, before you get the same results that you can now get through M/S-processing. - So props for anyone implementing and supporting it. :)

Mid side EQ'ing is really cool. It also adds a bit of complexity to the process since you still want balance in mono.

Great video! just up in the air on which eq to purchase. So many wonderful; eq's out here. got to do the research.

Great video. I use softube mostly and that is because I come from the analog world so anything that comes from that world I am interested in. Last night on a mix session I placed the 73 on a few channels but it was not what I was looking for (I was not sure what it was) but it brought my attention to it and this video was helpful. I think I'll try it on some drums pre-softube SSL 4K and only use what I need from the SSL from there. I did use the particle processor in my mastering chain. That was cool.

Waves te Amo!!!

excellent - as always

This is a great mastering eq for me rn

I could listen to Scheps talk all day, he has such wisdom. There’s no doubt a 10 minutes conversation could open my eyes more than 2 years of production class

I like how specific Andrew is about frequency ranges.

GREAT VIDEO SCHEPS! THNK YOU

Scheps always cuts through the BS. He gives mixing 100% in-the-box real street cred!

I love Andrew Scheps, and I love WAVES plugins! That being said, it really fucks with me when I click on a video like this, and the audio of the video is all muddy and mushy. Having Waves post videos with poor sound quality is ironic, like seeing a sign shop with an old beat-up sign in front of it with burnt out letters and stuff; like showing up at a landscaping company and having the front yard of the business be all weeds and yellow grass patches; like walking into a pest control business and seeing a rat scurrying across the floor. This is WHAT YOU DO Waves! Lol, again, I LOVE Andrew and Waves, but the official Waves Audio youtube channel shouldn't be putting out videos with bad sound quality. I could download this video right now, pop it into my DAW, and in 5 minutes (Using nothing but WAVES plugins) make it sound 10 times better. Sorry to be such a negative nancy, but I'm watching this video on my studio speakers and it's making the audiophile O.C.D. in my brain twitch.

what a stud, Grandmaster status

I love this plugin.

Подойдет ли этот плагин для песни Ядрена вошь ?

I texted this comment in just 5 secs of the video...be aise of the quality of the sound of this video ...wowowowowowowoowwoowoowowowowwowowo...how clear are the vocals😮😮😮😮

Thinks this is going to be a new purchase for me and just to learn MS eq better if anything

Amazing....

This Plugin version comes in Waves V9R30?

If you were only going to use one eq, painting in broader strokes, this is all you need. The preamp gain section is extremely subtle so it's not always an audible difference, but def adds some salt.

Great video - such a shame his mic is overloading on a video about production (face palm!)

Let me get stuck in 💪

Andrew, I like the DESK , that you are sitting oin front of . Can you tell me where I can get it and the price.?

Scheps is a great mixer but he's also a great TEACHER. He can dig right to heart of an issue and distill it in a way that feels simple, even though it's not at all. I've learned more from his tutorials than anyone else. Contrast with Michael Brauer, who is a great mixer but isn't very good at explaining HOW he does what he does.

I would be interested to know how this plugin works with electronic music. Trance etc.

SCHEPS PLUG IN IS PURE HARDWARE IN SOFTWARE FORM

Beginner question: what does he mean w. tracking?

kind of weird... his voice sounds like it's naturally vocoded to me 😁

Waves and Pro Tools = Atomic Bomb

Scheps 73 or SSL E Channel? For trap vocals?

tenho muito a aprende cm ele que deus abencoe sua vida

Bro, we care!

Hello Andrew, I want to thank you so Much for all of your Video's. I have a couple of things I wanted to ask. first, does the Scheps 73 EQ Add AIR to an Instrument , or a Vocal. if so how would you make the settings. second, 2 MOnths ago I bought your Template and my PC crashed and I Lost it , can you Possable help me out. may I ask, now that your working in the Box now, what is your go to Vocal setup. lastly, I wrote you awhile back about the Harrison MixBus 32c ( DAW ) you said you would check it out. I think it awesome. please let me know what you think. thanks. Bill

Can I use this Plugin on my recording track to send my voice through as well?

Looks like Jack Conte went into a cave for a while...

Andrew is so SQUARE. I'm VERY new in mixing, and producing. But I feel that I understand every single thing Andrew says...

wow...

Did it take 73 tries to make this?

I didn't know Rick Rubin had a brother

Hi, as I already use quite a few Waves plugins I have 2 question regarding Sheps 73. 1. What is the difference between this and Pultec EQ, I already have Waves Pultec EQs, would it be worth buying Sheps as an addition? and 2nd question: Is it common to use Sheps 73 stereo plugin on master fader in MS mode to EQ mid and sides slightly different. I`m using demo now, like results but is it common technique to use that plugin on master fader? Thank you for answer.

I see you enjoy genelecs :D

Hes that bass player from Phil Collins.

He looks hebrew

Only problem is he never responds to his fans

just tried,,,,, shieeeeeeeeet.

He looks kinda scary...

Talk is cheap . Don’t tell me . Show me .
