How to Spot (And Smash) Nasty Room Resonances 

I literally was just talking about how I could use a decent crash course refresher on eq cutting and this helped immensely, rock on mdude!

Awesome! Heard Rob talk about this in his full live mix stream and it's something I've been wanting to work on more. This goes a lot more in-depth and is more helpful. Thanks for this tutorial!

One thing you didn't mention is fundamental frequencies and making sure you aren't cutting those in the process- is that something that you think is not a danger in this approach?

all this work to treat rooms, what about recording in a pasture open grassland in the middle of nowhere? that's it I'm moving my recording studio to the cow pasture.

I love the trick by adding a shelf after the cuts in the overheads. I’ve never tried that. That’s awesome.

Fantastic lesson. Yet again.

Incredibly helpful. Thankyou

Thank you for doing this turtorial.

Nice work, this is a subject I spend quite some time on when teaching. People really need to understand how their room is such an essential part of a great sounding product.

Excellent video. Many thanks.

Glad to see this now that I’m just starting to mix. This is a pure gem 🔥🔥🔥, you earn a sub dude..

Very, very, helpful! Thank you!!!

wow dude, that was pretty deep.. I like this technique.. thank you.

Great. Thanks

Awesomeee guidee

this is great subscribed and liked staright away....

Thanks a lot Dylan! Very illustrative video. I have a question: Would it be a good idea to make just one wider cut when there are two resonances close to each other? Thanks also for the terms sheet. It is very helpful. Specially for me that english is not my mother language and I always get confused by all those terms.

Resonant evil 😁! Great video. Thanks

thank you so much

Your “hello, that hurts” at 24:47 made me LOL.

Wow. I always have problems with my acoustic guitar recordings and was cutting like you did and I thought to my self that can be right but yeah you showed me I m right. :)

great info :) what do u use for the visual effects in your video? i really like them

Do you have tutorial on boosting frequencies as well?

As always, an amazing lesson! But tell the truth: did you automate that Sheraton's panning? Each video it moves further to your left.😂😂😂

OMG I watched your channel's video tutorial for a while but I just recently saw your face lol

Very interesting, but I'd rather use a dynamic eq, because if your instrument (e.g. the guitar) moves to a higher pitch maybe you don't want to cut those frequencies so hard.

don't forget using linear phase or natural phase when doing these !!

I would like to see a video using that technique to get rid of sibilant noise on poor recorded vocal.

This is one of the most helpful videos I've ever watched

Hi... the download does not contain the actual EQ sheet that you mention, just the anatomy of the EQ??

Can you do a life saving eq video that doesn't exist yet. It's a video on all the ugly frequencies that exist like mud, harshness, boxy, dull, etc and then a before and after: what they sound like vs what they should sound like. There are a lot of videos on just mud but the other frequencies are always neglected a bit and I really need examples of what that sounds like to know what I'm looking for.

i tried downloading the balance sheet but it made me join some masterclass that i didn't want to join.. But i still didn't get the balance sheet.. How do i actually get it?

Did you tried this with an dynamic eq? Maybe that's more transparant. Good video!

You’ve created artificial problem, and the you cut out that artificial problem. If you have problems in sound that you hear - just get rid of it. You can find “resonance” by sweeping eq in every sample.

Using a dynamic EQ could help to retain the instrument's natural character." (Die Verwendung eines dynamischen EQs könnte dazu beitragen, den natürlichen Charakter des Instruments zu erhalten. Is this right?

Am I crazy or is there no balance chart in that zip file?

wait at 15 you said the first resonance was at ahhh. you hen did 350 ish which is oo. i believe 500 hz is ohh sound. 1k is ah vowel. watched a video explaining wach hertz has a vowel sound

27:35 James Hetfield wants to know your location...

5:30 5:42

This is a good example of how not to do it

my room sucks, I couldn't even hear the differences cause my own room resonances are so bad 😭

3:43 - You also believe in unicorns?

Your turotial is the equivelant of giving up on natural instruments all together, instead of actualy using a proper recording room. Exactly like your background showing an actual recording space, which, funnily enough, is filled with actual acoustic treatment...

I need better headphones.....

Is it just me, or on most of the parts you killed the life on the instruments - which you mentioned you did not want to do? Thump and some room is natural, in some ways... I mean, I do not know. It is like you try so hard to record everything "sterile" and without any reverb of sound of the room, so that later in post you can add a room reverb? I get it why people do that - to have CONTROL, but is it just me who thinks that people are overly-stressed nowadays with sounds that are not really a problem? I saw singers record in a big living room, with carpets on the floor and a microphone screen behind it and just the let the vocalist feel like home and do her thing, while capturing a bit of LIFE and NATURAL room sound onto the recording. Bands used to record their drums in an actual chamber, sometimes, to add that track to the recording and have a REAL chamber reverb - where do you think that name comes from? I mean, I respect the craft and everyone can do it the way he/she wants. BUT DO NOT FORGET that some things are not really an issue, as long as you know what you are doing. There are no CREATIVE rules in mixing - just some technical rules, sure (clipping in a digital app etc.). But, other than that, FEEL FREE...

Your info is cool, but you talk too much and the video feels so slow and long
