Dude the thing I love about this tutorial the most, is the fact you're showing that EQ's are musical tools not just technical, they can be dynamic expressive tools and not just a static aspect of a sound. Big ups my dude! As always. Great stuff :)
Yeah man your tutorials are always A+. Idk if you remember but you actually stayed at my house once a couple years back in Santa Rosa, I'm Ripley's old roommate. Been following ya ever since! The knowledge you drop is immense! Big ups.
I've been analyzing a lot of big tracks and there's way more side information in the sub frequencies than I would have expected based on all of the "high pass the sides to remove the subs in the side channels" advise. Since I've stopped doing that on my master channel I've found that the tracks have a lot more weight to the bottom end. If the big guys can have some stereo on the subs then it should be okay. In that melodic part of the skrillex track where you say there's no sub bass in the side you can obviously hear there is... you need to isolate the subs AND solo the sides to hear it. It's not a ton but that sub bass still is in the sides and makes a difference.
Lately I have been experimenting with stereo enhancements and effects using a mid side matrix with my modular. With certain filters or when applying subtle modulation, it can sound really nice.
I’ve watched this so many times and washing dishes with a hammer always gets me. The content in this tutorial is super insightful from beginning to end. MUST WATCH NUMEROUS TIMES!
AHEE, this is amazing content. In the last 6 years of producing your videos made such a more significant improvement in the last year than I have made in the last 5. Thanks man!
It basically measures how well your song will translate to a mono system. If the bar is free and to the right it signifies that your track will translate well in mono. If it’s more to the left then your track will most likely phase out and not sound good in mono systems.
All the way to the right is mono, center to right is stereo, left of center is out of phase. Phase isn’t bad per say, just need to be aware of it for mono compatibility.
The Magic racks are A+! I got volume 1 and the addon! I use atleast 3-5 if not more of your racks in a majority of my tracks now these days! Gonna grab that volume 2 here soon! I love your videos! So many great videos! You, Mr Bill, and Ill Gates are my favorite! Can I send you the tracks that I've been working on?
Thanks for the killer video, Ahee! I have one question, for the example at 6:00, what is the difference between cutting the sides out of the sub, and using a utility set to bass mono?
i had the same question, what's the point in mid siding low end if you can mono the low end with utility? i think they both have the same result. also, he shows later in the video that he is just making everything under 140hz mono with ozone imager anyways.
