“How to x” would make a great series. Another series that would be very helpful for musicians that would also help increase sales would be a “how to make x sound using fm synthesis.” If you had a series showing how to make useful sounds using fm (ie - guitar, woodwinds, brass, etc) then a lot more people would be willing to buy/use fm synths.

Been using this 'frequency sweeping' technique for a long time. A great way to get a quick basic drum mix cleaned of the most offensive and problem frequencies. Especially when you don't have much time for a sound check.

Band pass mode. Available in both the 1 and 7 band versions of stock EQ, by holding Ctrl+Shift (Start+Shift on a PC) the plug-in enters band pass mode and passes only the frequencies for the currently selected band based on its current frequency and Q settings. Just hold the modifiers and grab frequency or Q. Gain becomes inactive in band pass and shelving filters audition as bell filters.

@dennislester9395 Год назад

One of my goals is to find the fundamental pitch of the Kick as a foundation, around 50Hz. Great lesson, Nick!

@stehil1454 2 года назад

Love this detailed breakdown of EQing drums!!! Looking forward to the vids for Snare, Toms and, Overheads!!!

@AllenPendleton 2 года назад

Yes the best point is have a decent sounding drum to begin with. Years ago I was the house engineer at a club that had 5 and 6 bands a night play. You wouldn't believe the crap that came in. Kits that heads hadn't been changed in years. I used to keep a D4 in the rack so I could use the audio from the kick mic to trigger a sample.

@rafaelcarmany463 Год назад

This was the best video that I have seen so far on this subject. A Fantastic Job and very enlightening, Nick. I would like to interject that I would begin with reversing the PHASE of the Overhead to see how that changes the sound of the Kick, and then the snare and Toms (when you add in Tom Mics). After determining if you need to flip the Phase of the Overhead mic - proceed to possible Phase manipulation of the Room / Distant Mic. These functions greatly change the sound of the Kick and other Mics.

Years ago, I made live drum samples with my first Tama Drum Kit. Using them in my Midi Production, I wanted to adjust the fine pitch on a few hits of the bass drum in order to humanize it. At that moment, I realized that EQ cannot always get you the tone. Play around with pitch in order to match the tempo of the song. In a slower song, you would expect to hear more decay and tone from the Kick. Faster songs would have shorter decay and slightly higher tone.

@nimblefred2932 2 года назад

Can you do a video explaining what mid/side is all about?

@voodoochili12 2 года назад

Good in depth video. My one suggestion is to always use your ears and identify a pitch to be reduced, and be very deliberate about taking out ONLY what your ears told you were problem frequencies. This is in contrast to 'sweep and destroy', as demonstrated at 22:55. You will always find gross overtones and harmonics in this way, and all of a sudden you'll have a dozen notches.

@timnorgate8673 Год назад

I love the sweep and destroy method, however I would never do it boosted to the max as shown in this. Personally I set the Q as tight as I can, boost it by about +5-6db, then sweep through. I find that way it highlights the problem frequencies without making everything sound like a problem. This is actually a tip I got from watching another RU-vid creator, because as you said, as soon as you boost by +15 or more db you start finding gross harmonics everywhere.

Hi. thanks for all information. I have 2 questions. 1. do we absolutely need 2 kick drum microphones (kick in & out)? 2. how different are the mix processes between kick in and kick out? kind regards

@kickit301 Год назад

Nick knows more about this shit than i usually give him credit for

@tomlewis4748 Год назад

You can simulate the Massenburg thing by adding a multiband compressor. Turn the thresholds down so that there's zero compression, turn off all bands other than one, and center that on the frequency of interest. Easy Peasy.

I like to roll off most of the higher frequencies, reducing the papery sound and leaving more of a thud. If you overdo this though you can lose all the character in the sound.

I don't think you can discuss mixing drums, especially if you specifically tackle the bleeding and how EQing one mic affects the sound of other sources, without talking about phase relations and polarity flipping, even more so when EQing a low frequency source such as the bass drum...

@earslicker 3 месяца назад

Get a good speaker with a big diameter ( bigger than the hole), place it in front of the hole plug it in the mic input, then EQ like you want in post prod.
