Beginner's Guide to EQ (part 2) 

This dude's a genius. He made eq'ing easy. From now on, I'm not watching other engineering tutorials unless they are from dan. this dude knows what he's talking about.

I might not be a complete beginner, but always look forward to these tutorials, always good to be reminded about things!

Amen to the idea that the other manufacturers just try and sell you something. The series on EQ and compression by FabFilter are the very best vids on these topics on the whole Internet. In showing us how to get rid of mid range mud in the mix, Dan gets rid of mid range mud in an explanation on how to use EQ. Wonderfully clear

You, Dan Worrall, are one of those rare teachers who make the clouds part and the sun shine through. Thank you, for all you do.

Also THANK YOU FF for these long after-market tutorial vids. Yes, they are promotional aids, but one can tell a lot of thought was put in to make these genuinely helpful and informative. Cheers!

Literally one of the best tutorials I've ever seen!

tutorials like this make me want to buy their product. they care about the quality and development of the musician/producer. Thats how ADAM Audio got me sold on their speakers. Same with Sweetwater. Their customer service and care for the consumer makes me want to buy everything they produce. Take my money already! lol

What a tutorial!!! Never seen such precise tutorial. Thank you Fabfilter and Thank you Dan Worrall.

As I newcomer to the art of of mixing I have learned more in 30 mins of listening to Mr. Worral's EQ videos then I have taking multiple paid classes and watching countless hours of RU-vid videos over the last year. It is very obvious to me that he is a genius at his craft. I believe most people will recognize this 5 minutes into this video. But if you stop there you will miss the magic of listening to Yoda explain EQ. Mr Worral may of missed his true calling or maybe he is just discovering it. Either way I win and so will you if you are patient. Thank you sir.

fab filter EQ tutorials are the Best in youtube EQ vids

If every single pedagogue throughout my life had sounded as cool and relaxed as Dan Worrall, I'd be a Nobel Prize winning, genius polymath. I could listen to this chap all day long. Clear, succint with excellent visual cues to augment the tutorial. Absolutely superb series. And clearly superb plug-ins too.

Fabfilter vids are the best in the business. Fine work Dan!!

Man I appreciated this tutorial. The reasoning and explanations felt so easy to understand. A big thanks for the work you put into this!

Dan i appreciate this so much. I've been a songwriter and musician for decades but am just learning audio production. There's SO much info out there that is not nearly as helpful or presented nearly as well as this. Really standout job! It means a lot to have information this good :)

12:26 and I think that #4 is: Use subtractive EQ on other instruments to make room for the one you’re on. That was EYE OENING !! Don’t we just LOVE the way that Dan says “natural”?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!! : )

Absolutely fantastic tips. I've been doing everything wrong. You've opened my eyes ... and ears! 👍😊

The best mixing tutorial so far!

“Always better to cut rather than boost.” So true and applicable to many other creative crafts, not simply music and sound.

Superb. Clear, uncluttered explanation. I've been searching for a long time to get some solid advice and strategy on this vital part of the process. At last, I begin to understand. Many thanks!

Brilliant! Best simplified explanation about EQ I have seen so far ...

Dan is just so perfect for this stuff. What a gift he is.

I said it before but im gonna say it again, fabfilter products are incredible and the fact i can use them ALL on my ipad is wild. They also are the reason i knoe about Dan so that makes me a very happy and loyal customer

Wish i saw this EQ series 10 years ago. :-) Excellent tutorial.

A very well trained ear as well as a very good trained brain is required to go so fast. as well IMO the recording and arrangement are spot on before the mix stage. But there are very good tips in this video to put the aspiring engineer on track. One here that is fed up by seeing You Tube´s tutorials made by people who have no idea. Thank you very much really, the help from Fab Filter post sale is very apreciated from my part, also to me very helpful the comparison with mixing consoles. Intelligent demonstration that helps clear the mind

Wow, Out of ALL the NONSENSE on You Tube- (YEARS of it) THIS makes the MOST sense! And, yes- I DID buy Fab Filter Q 3 yesterday.......It's AWESOME...But NOT as awesome as THIS video! GREAT EDUCATION!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

OUTSTANDING content. Love the "key takeaways". Great work team!

These videos are great. I have purchased fabfilter plugins just to support their great content. These are just great tutorials on how to deal with eq, compression, etc. in a mix. And I love that.

I now understand that my ears are hearing the sound, but it's my brain which is listening to the music and doing the biggest part of the job ! ;-)

This video has taught me so million things for eq. Thankyou so much. Love from India.

Thank you, Dan and FabFilter team. These tutorials are on another level 🍀

5:49 this part.. it just fit so well when you say it and the guitar riff gets louder.

best music production content. thank you so much for this

Big up dan! Keep up the good work

This is where iZotope's Ozone starts to really shine. As much as I love the FF products, I've got to give it to iZotope for coming up with a brilliant interface and toolset for handling these sorts of EQ tasks very efficiently. The way the interface allows you view and EQ tracks together, get visual cues as to where they are competing, and create EQ points with inverse relationships is genius. I just wish FabFilter and iZotope would hurry up and get married! They would have the most amazing children. If the developers at Cockos were their marriage counselor, the whole world would be Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

I'm taking notes. Thank you so much for these videos Dan..These are incredibly helpful. Can't believe i'm only discovering your channel now! And that studio with the Audient console looks amazing! I'm going to one day have my own studio that looks as good as yours.

Excellent set of videos! I've learnt a lot from your guide. Thank you so much!

It actually blows my mind listening to dan applying a perfectly placed cut of frequencies and the instant clarity between the two parts It’s amazing

Love this tutorial, and love FabFilter's plugins!

Thank you! This is very valuable to me and I greatly appreciate it! :)

The problem with this channel is that I want to buy the software although I don't even produce music

Very Informative, Thanks alot for the great tutorials!

Great stuff guys !!!! 5:42...now we have Pro Q 3 so all that just got MUCH easier. Thanks again.

Thanks for putting together an awesome tutorial.

Thanks, you guys are awesome and make some of the best plugins

The master is as good as the mix is as good as the edit is as good as the tracking is as good as the arrangement is as good as the composition.

Probably learnt more in this video about EQ than every other video I've watched put together. 👏🏻👏🏻

Welp....I'll constantly ne watching these tutorials.. Wow. Thank you

This video changed a lot 👍🏾🙏🏽

Very good video!!! - Pedagogic and calm I like "teaching tempo" very much.

Great guides! Where can I find more from Dan? Easy to listen to and easy to understand!

So insightful... thanks!!!

I love the tutorial. Great job!

Fantastic tips! Thanks

What a good Hands On video!

Excellent videos!

Fantastic video again

This is superb stuff

great detail and insight

Amazing explanation thanks 🙏

Thanks for sharing!

This is a great tutorial

Looks like Reason's mixer. Great informative vid.

Thank you Reginald !

Nice explanation,,,

Great tutorial! I do think your voice takes over when I have my subwoofer on, it's set to around 80 hz, and it makes my 12x12 foot roob boom :-)

I should have watched these videos earlier! Learning EQ from books and other videos was tough.

Thank you!

the Bob Ross of the eqing world

Inspirational stuff.

Top quality

thank you

wonderful

11:26 to 11:30 = GOLD

agree. amazing

Yes, he rest my ideas of eq straight, thx. Avoid the downward spiral, 😅.

Saw this three times bit can only upvote once - thats not fair. 😢

excellent

Would love for Fab Pro-Q2 to have different colors for mid and side signals in the analyzer. That would be an ideal way to view stereo placement directly.

My main problem with EQing in most cases is that all those "boomy" " and "harsh" sounding characteristics all sound interesting and good to me, so it ends up a never ending cycle of balancing stuff to the point where all sounds too much like a mess. How to mix is something one never stops learning I guess.

still watching this because i still got trapped in the "putting 'em together" while actually leaving the solo button in lmao.

good good stuff

oooh, such cool song here

Great EQ tutorials, I wish there were more parts. I am still learning to make best use of reference tracks, but do a list exist of well mixed-mastered reference tracks of different genres? I know its not correct to just pick well written music, because its the mixing-mastering that counts for reference tracks. Such a list would make the ear training part of this EQ tutorial very useful. I personally have selected many reference tracks from my own cd collection, but I am sure that some of those tracks are not mixed-mastered the best.

The Worrall!

The little headphone solo button; is there a way to lock it to the 'on' position so you can tweak other parameters while it's in use..?

nice

Fucking spectacular video. Wow. 10/10

part 3 :)

Boa noite mano podes me mandar a FabFilter Pro a primeira versao

If this is for beginner's, think of the video for the advanced engineers

Pog

that synth lead at the end is sassy!

Did you know that Dan Worrall won The Voice? Funny thing is he didn't even participate.

pepe thanks u

Why do I get the SCAMMY Unison midi chord pack ad before a gem of a tutorial. Dear FabFilter, do you really need to monetize your videos ? I am sure your revenue from Plug-ins are far more than from monetizing your videos. Just saying !

wished you woulda ducked the music when speaking.

so good... thx!!
