How To EQ Tracks In a Mix w/ Slate Digital's Everything Bundle 

I love the enthusiasm Slate has for his work. In fact its a running theme throughout the devs I favour. Kush, Slate and SoundToys are all massively into what they do and aren't afraid to shout about it. I like that.

I am totally dedicated to Slate products. Thank you for all great innovations.

Loving these plugins! Use them on so many different styles of music.

This is unparalleled. I had the privilege of reading something similar, and it was truly unparalleled. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

I'm a singer too, so first off I gotta say you sound damn good. The song reminds me of some Kings of Leon ( kick ass)..... I'm looking forward to receiving my ILock and loading up the Slate Bundle next week. I've known for months now that I'd be using your tools for the rest of my life. I love what you do and the fact we both sing makes it even more special to me....

10:06 helped a lot! thanks, Steve. Loving the everything bundle, the more I learn the use it the more I love it :D

Brilliant. Particularly like the custom series eq and the lift. There are just some voodoo magic happening!

Really enjoy my Slate plugs...they, with my UA plugs, help make my mixes sound stellar!!

I love these EQ's. All day

The FG-N. is my favorite, that really sounds awesome. Then again Rupert makes my favorite console, great job!

Good video! I really like these, especially the Custom Series EQ and Lift.

Fantastic! Keep them coming Steve!

You Have My Respect Mr. Slate Thank You Sir

Great video and this will be a big help in deciding which EQ's to use since I've never used the hardware versions. Hopefully there's also a nice gate in the works for the VMR.

Hi chaps, great video - and for a complete mixing novice like me it's really helpful. Would you consider doing something similar for your compressors too? Again, being new to all of this I'd find it to be a massive help. All the best, Karim.

Absolutely amazing. Thanks.

This is such an eyeopener...!

Best plugins ever.

Great tutorial thanks for posting

Always helpful

slate digital for president!!!!

This is a demonstration on how to use these eqs together to do subtractive and additive processing so questions about peak would be irrelevant. If it were a mix video I'm sure Steve would've pulled them awesome compressors into mix rack....another vid hopefully🤓

Love you Steve

man the female vocals changed drastically, very pleasantly surprised!!! This is a thing of beauty!

Not all EQs are the same! I have ran some of my old compositions through these, and I thought I did well mixing them, until I ran them through these. I had a synth oboe type sound that was annoyingly sharp, but I couldn't put a bead on why, even after much EQing. Using the FG-S then FG-N, it carved away the harsh element, then boosted a sweeter tone to it. I also took a recording from a friend's RU-vid guitar and vocal, only recorded on a phone, and mixed it through these, and her reaction was "OMG what did you do to me?" I used the LIFT to fatten up the non existent lows, and removed the hollow 'room' effect, then notched out the little thing she does with 'ou' vowels (she admits it's annoying, but I said, it's just an EQ issue). I'd love you guys to hear an A-B of that, but it's not mine to show. SLATE, as we say in the UK, this is 'The dogs bollocks!' (you might want to Google it) lol.

Hello, know if all of Slate's drum sounds on this program will be on the Pearl Mimic Pro module? Please tell me, if possible, what you about what is on and not on the module. I was sort of hoping the Bonham's drum sounds would be on it. Super thanks and very nice presentation.

Graham is all about "home recording" and doesn't pretend to be presenting a pro recording... He is spot on because by nature that means you will have to do a lot more cutting of frequencies. Night and day. Horses for courses etc......

Dude great fucking vid! love it. now my drums are tight! thanks so much!

i´m using ezmix 2 to get a metal guitar tone.. can you tell me how to eq/process the guitar tone so it sounds fat and metally? i mean what do i need.. eq, compressor and virtual tape machine..right?

Also worth mentioning how many of these VMR's I can run compared to other comparable vst's, without any of the lag. I mean, I can add enough VMR's to *get* lag, but it would take some doing!

Swaggersouls knows the stuff

Even sounds good on my iPhone speakers 👌

Thank you ; I dream . Jean DIERICKX from French Riviera France BRAVO

i wanna hear the "what'chu doin to me" song.....

This proves just how new I am to all this because I thought all the dry versions sounded pretty good (minus the female vocal).. I definitely thought all the EQs made everything better of course but when I first heard all the samples I was like "meh what's the problem?".. I've got a lot to learn. Just signed up.

Hi Steve, thx for video, because I have never had a chance to touch those analog EQs. But what is missing is the explanation of FG-N red line/drive button, never seen to use it in any of your videos. Can you explain this? What it does to sound?

i thin yall need to do one on violin please and thanks!!!!

I still wanna hear the song that sounds at 10'19". It sounds awesome!!!

When I have the VMR plugin window open during playback in Pro Tools it crashes my session. If I stop the track, do any adjustments and then close the plugin window and press play it runs perfectly fine. Anybody else get this or know what might be causing it? I thought it could be a graphics card issue. Sometimes happens with the VBC as well.

Shouldn't the VCC be the last loaded ? for mixing u go From tape into mixer insert EQ and then mixer channel fader sent to the 2-buss

From everything I've learned from some pretty good mixers, you're better off using subtractive EQ first before boosting anything. Also any comparisons should always be made level matched because higher volume tricks you ear into thinking it's better when it may not be.

Steven is there a reason why there is no frequency analyzer on the VMR? i like to look at my track frequency where it is in the mix, but i always use my ear. Thank you

what is the name of the song in this video?

I like using graphical eq plugins for obvious reasons. I would think everyone would prefer them. Can amyone explain that. If i got used to the knob type, would i probably like it more? What am i missing?

What is the song that says "You caught my eyes, now I can't see"?

Seriously. Do I need these or do I accomplish same result with SSL EQ? (Electronic music)

8:00 Hello darkness my old friend...

The FG-S really needs an output knob!

It'll be nice to hear some trap been processed

can't believe they got Bill Clinton to do the voice over...

the plugins are good...but why after all these "boosts" etc , which obviously adds volume, does he not compensate for this by bringing down the output level to match these boosts in volume ater all...its the sound that the eq is supposed to change/correct....not the volume !!!!

When announcing the eq why just say the ssl neve what's so hard to💁‍♂️ say

Juice.

FG-N adds lot of noise, fab pro eq are transparent

i like that for some time now you don't use pro tools on your videos. Strong subliminal message

love it.. but please.. dont always remove the "ring" from the snare.. that is often what makes it cut through in the mix.. just wanted to shout that out.. as a drummer.

take care you are thinking of signing the digital slater, their support is not good, I signed for a year and is giving out expired, I contacted the support but they do not respond

nothing helping that guitar sound..sounded like acoustic guitar recorded thru a disrortion pedal..thank god for eq.
