Thank you Colt. This is a fantastic reference. My vocal EQ treatment is exactly the same. Thicken around 100 to 200, get rid of the boring mud around 500, a bit of presence around 1500, and some sheen around 12000 upwards

@nicholasedgett7889 3 года назад

Theres really something to be said about great tracking engineers! The better something is recorded at the source, the easier everybody else's job will be in the end, making it the best possible sounding record.

@pvalenti 3 года назад

Get it right at the source! Couldn't agree more. The age old idea of "fix it in the mix" is a recipe for mediocrity and failed studios. Or at the very least spending way too much time editing and correcting pitch etc... When you get that much into editing poorly captured or performed parts, then the engineer really is like another member of the band. You don't want to join the band, just impress them so much that they don't even consider going elsewhere and they tell everyone they know about YOU!

@donnythompson408 3 года назад

Back when I was first starting out in the early 80’s, I was taught two things that ended up being what I felt were the two most important parts about being a recording/mixing engineer... The first, was to record/track instruments/vocals with them sounding as good as possible at their source(s), and the second thing, was to mix tracks in context to the other tracks, as well as within the context of the song itself. As an example, I don’t always want to “ring-out” a snare; there are certain songs that may have a raucous, energetic “garage band” sorta vibe, and sculpting the tone of the snare to have a more refined “studio” sound will result in the song’s live vibe being subdued... Different songs call for different approaches in mixing. Some might have a natural, live sounding vibe, where I’ll use only one reverb on all the tracks, putting everything in the same ambient space. Other times, a song might be spacey, ethereal, and using supernatural textures -like multiple FX, pan shifting, and broad stroke EQ moves work best. Context is key. IMO. 😉🙏

@GrandNebSmada 2 года назад

I've never heard a snare drum that sounds that incredible WITHOUT any EQ! Seriously whoever tuned that thing is a freaking legend. It has the absolute perfect amount of overtones and even though they're playing rim shots there isn't way too much attack either.

@lojo11audio 3 года назад

Great comment regarding the option to sometimes just "leave a sample alone". We should remember that the creator of the sample has likely EQ'ed and Compressed it already and doing more may take away rather than add

What I love about watching your videos is you’re not afraid to boost or cut up to and even over 10 db, which I feel like you have to really know what you’re doing to pull off, but it gets you where you want to go sooo much faster than when I see people make super minute changes

There are no "bad" frequencies, as this video implies, though... it all depends on the material you're working with and even what key the song is written in. I hope the advice you are hearing doesnt hinder your progress.

@macmoll 3 года назад

Never mix with your ears 👂. Never! It will build bad habits. To be a serious Mixing Engineer you should only ever mix by taste 👅. Trust your taste! If your music doesn’t taste good it doesn’t matter how good it sounds.

@yony_music 3 года назад

@Mac Moll yeah, and another Tipp I can give: don't worry about the sound of your eqs, just adjust them so they look nice visually, like a piece of Art! And if the UI of your Plugins look bad just buy another one! Also always add loads of effects to every channel, because then it looks super complex, and people pay respect to what you're doing, and if the don't like it they just have a bad taste of music

@nathanhyatt 3 года назад

As someone always learning, I tried to do an EQ leveling on a mix I did yesterday and I honestly didn't like the feel, so I agree with you. The ears already dont lie, but I'll keep some EQ's I have from tracking and shape them more in the mixing process. Only a hand full of channels I'll EQ out in the Tracking process.

@collegestatistics 3 года назад

Very helpful all-in-one starting point EQ vid. Looking forward to hearing the finished song! Sounds great so far! A lot of people don't realize that if the vocals are too high-passed then there's not much for reverb and delay to work on. So I like the way you added some low frequencies to the lead vocals.

@RadiantStudio 2 года назад

And I’d like to add… these are little secrets he’s sharing here. Priceless. Yeah, your mileage may vary but this is a important stuff here he’s sharing. There are magic bullets in mixing contrary to popular belief.

@gotyor 3 года назад

Good stuff. I just might add in the last couple of years i been using more dynamic eq and side chaining what triggers the dynamic part. anytime there are competing frequency it can really help. but when they are not fighting each other... each part will sound fuller when not being side chained triggered. Just something I urge you to start checking out. It becomes more like 3 dimensional chess of mixing, but might make a good video in future for ya.

@dldavidmusic 3 года назад

Thanks Colt! Really liked the discussion around background vocals and how they interplay. I absolutely love tight harmonies, and this EQ trick helps to keep them from fighting with each other, especially when they're the same singer!

@LukeIcardMusic 3 года назад

I like to roll off a lot of my high end, especially synths- then i use another eq or saturator to bring some back in

@HollerAtcherBoi 3 года назад

Why take them out if you’re just gonna bring them back in

@nicholasedgett7889 3 года назад

@@HollerAtcherBoi the reasoning is to get rid of the offending frequencies, and add back what is still necessary. Its easier on processing and workflow and the overall sound to cut the top end, or low end for that matter and re-add the frequencies needed back with a colorfull EQ like a pultec or API or a Trident etc. This will allow you more control over the end result also adding a gorgious tonality in the process. You could grab a waves q10 and pinpoint all the offending frequencies, but since sound is always changing it may sound perfect in one spot, in another, it may sound hollow or un-exciting/dull. In the analog days, they still had this issue because they didnt have dynamic EQs or if they did it was rare. In fact i think ive only ever seen a few analog dynamic EQs ever and even then they were more of a multiband compressor. That being said, the way they would combat that was to cut the top end and add in what was needed to make it sound its best, but not offensive. They would use pieces of gear like exciters, or fancy EQs, or some type of saturation that brings out the harmonics of that sound making it less harsh, yet more 'exciting'. Hope that helps

@danielkisel5661 3 года назад

Yup some analog EQs have nice curves and add some saturation which will fill up empty space so if you cut some top end maybe even use low pass filter, it will help to reduce digital aliasing from plugins that adds colour in the first place and second get rid of some of the harsh frequencies and then just add right amount of that sparkle in top end back, or even use mid/side eq and boost only side to increase stereo. Btw. many vintage analog eqs, compressors, or tape machines, etc. do a bit of top end roll off automatically.

@FLH3official 3 года назад

Great advice about the strings (so rare on YT where people are often more focused on bass, drums and guitars). I've the tendancy to use them a lot, and I've noticed you can make them less agressiv, more silky, with a slight EQ down around 3k. If you need "air", you can always "hi-shelf" them a little bit above.

@CLaw-tb5gg 3 года назад

Not finished the video yet so maybe this is covered, but something useful to know is that apparently the average untreated room thus your average listening environment resonates around 150-200Hz (I see 160Hz mentioned a lot). In other words, cutting that frequency range is going to cut a lot of mud for the average listener. I've noticed that a lot of really well-mixed records (e.g. the first RATM record) have a fairly big cut around 160Hz, presumably for that reason. Might be just mix voodoo/an urban legend; I'm not sure if my ears are good enough to test it personally.

I’m kinda at the phase right now where I’m more forgiving in the low mids. Got some good ole audio technica m50x, I use to cut those frequencies on about everything, and couldn’t understand why I was getting harsh mixes. I got some bass traps and just put them in my room and put a sub bass plugin on my master bus to emulate a large speaker. I like the way the low mid sounds now, and they way it masks the harsh digital tracks I have.
