This is literally the best, most concise video about EQ on RU-vid. Period.

@reddyaquaria689 4 года назад

FOR REAL, I just spent 3 hours digging through confusing content

@Helmersson88 4 года назад

Yeah, I've watched a bunch but nothing is a pedagogic and educational as this!

This is amazing. I'm an online voice actor and I've been struggling to EQ my audio, and this is a huge step forward. Now I'm cringing at how bad my previous EQ settings sounded.

@nchaidas 5 лет назад

the way you explained EQ was so easily understandable, i can't believe i understood everything you said, even when i havent worked with audio a lot. thank you so much!

@ChrisLaxamana 2 года назад

Immediately I trust this guy, because the audio in this video is superb.

@dayswithais1009 4 года назад

Alex. Thanks for all of these kick ass videos! Guys and I are stationed here in Japan and even though I have a few years of film under my belt, I still have tons to learn and this hit the mark. We release our first comedy skit here in a few weeks but thanks to this, I can nail our audio more. Much love from Japan!!!

@jeffoffej 4 года назад

Alex, thanks so much for your channel. I don't even know what I don't know until I watch your videos and now my podcast and videos are beginning to sound so much better. Truly, thanks.

So many of these tutorials are too long. But this one was a true masterpiece. Effective, clear, valuable and exactly what I was looking for. I finally got the solution I have been looking for. Thanx. U rock.

@REBELHEADGAMES 3 года назад

I work with eq daily. But in my few years as a producer... This was a clear and nice presentation. Great work!

@mikesphotography 2 года назад

This is fantastic Alex! As a videographer, I've always touched upon audio enough just to get by, but you explain this in such a straight forward way that we can all learn from, and now my audio is sounding better...still got a lot to learn so I'll be binge watching your videos this weekend! Keep up the great work! 😁👍

@michaelswallace6814 3 года назад

I watched several videos trying to get a handle on what an eq does. You're the first one who explained it. Cheers

@brandonhi507 4 года назад

just saved me hours upon hours in the studio going take for take trying to get the best rich sound without the clutter. very simply explained and shown in real time. im blown away with the results. i feel like i can maximize my craft with this newfound precision. thank you so much.

@DJASSMASTER710 3 года назад

@matiasgoinheix366 5 лет назад

Excellent content, no filler, and high production value. I'm always waiting for your next video.

@BenjaminKibbey 4 года назад

So, I was approached recently to record a child's celebration of life for the family. I'm no professional, but I have a little more experience and better equipment than the person who usually live streams the church services from a phone, and there wasn't really money to hire a true professional, so I did what I could to help. The audio didn't come out terrible, but some last-minute problems with tying into the sound board left me no choice but to rely on my backup audio, a mic I placed close to the front of the room. I'm still working on it, but even just the degree of improvement I was able to make almost immediately to the audio from watching this tutorial is a night-and-day kind of difference, and I have never really done anything with equalizers before in my life. Thank you so much. I know it's maybe a small thing in the course of world events, but I am going to be able to make something so much better for a grieving family because of your video.

@MikeSilv 2 года назад

I’ve never seen a video where someone EQ’s their voice WHILE the video, which is explaining how to EQ, plays, until now. Best tutorial.

@jasonsemp 5 лет назад

@smokermarine 5 лет назад

love your Videos! can you do one about mixing next? for example how loud should different types of Recordings be in your final Video?

@followtheboat 5 лет назад

Excellent tut, Alex. Never occurred to me to accentuate the annoying frequencies first before reducing them, but then that's why I watch your channel 👍

@chrispoole2438 3 года назад

This was clearly explained and really useful. I've struggled with EQing for years! It might have been helpful to compare the final result with the previously unEQed track, but tat's just me being picky. Excellent lesson!

@osoriony 3 года назад

Absolutely fantastic! Very informative, clear and right to the point. I really appreciate your channel Alex. I am glad that I found you with potato jet.

@JonkiJonkas 4 года назад

I really love this video. Clear and easy to understand. I'm looking for learning material on how to mix source (diegetic) music for film, so that it matches the source in a believable way (a radio in small kitchen, a house party, a big club). If you would do a video on that or know of any others I would be so thankful!

@propmaster101 3 года назад

this has to be one of the best mixing tutorials on RU-vid. mixing is not as complex as people like to make it.

@bencrowe8823 Год назад

@david-paquette 5 лет назад

thx alex, very informative video ! That's exactly what i needed to know about EQ-ing the voice in my videos... Now i have to apply than ! Question : do you do your EQ with headphones or speakers ? My Headphones are Sennheiser and my speakers are PreSonus Eris. thx !!!

@voscripts 4 года назад

It's generally best to use speakers over headphones while processing your sound, including EQ and particularly if you're working in an acoustically treated room. Because headphones directly deliver the sound to your ears, it's very easy to overly focus on little problems and thus over EQ. Many lower-cost headphones also tend to sound boxy which can cause one to cut more in the 500hz range than is necessary. However, the key is to understand, how what you're listening through be it speakers or headphones, translates to other speakers (or earbuds, headphones etc.) Just like many TVs can look different in color and contrast,, warmth etc, speakers are the same with sound and it's good to listen on multiple sets to give a better representation about what is actually happening sonically. I suggest EQ using your speakers and listen to how they sound on your headphones and vice-versa. It's also important to listen back at consistent volume levels. Perhaps a video on speaker/volume calibration is in order Alex?
