Quick tip: putting your sound in mono will help you locate resonating frequencies easier.

@surgunmusic 6 лет назад

I appreciate your hard work preparing these videos mate. Just a note: I believe you have just reduced the harmonics of the sound in your first tip. With so high Q and boost values while seeking resonant freqs, the eq almost self oscillates and the root frequency and the harmonics may sound like resonance when they are not. I would recomend to use tip 1 to push a sound backwards or to get rid of room resonances or bad/clashing frequencies in recordings.

@7177YT 5 лет назад

bingewatching your stuff for a bit, thank you for all those neat videos, including this one. (:

@Trye 6 лет назад

The first tip is so basic but I never unterstood why people reduce specific frequencies that heavy. I feel like I'm now able to make my mixes 20 times cleaner

@RichLunaMusic 4 года назад

You Suck At Mixing explains it pretty well too.

@sethmathis250 6 лет назад

Reducing over boosting with an EQ is actually psychologically superior, whereas we are used to hearing cuts and reductions in sounds EVERY DAY in our lives, from walls and buildings, to cars and trees - almost everything is being reduced in nature, so it sounds more natural. You want to add more body to something or make a sound brighter? Distortion, upwards expansion, basically ANYTHING thats not an EQ boost.

@TECHBEATZ1200 Год назад

Your tips helped this veteran engineer. Very crucial tips for producers and engineers. This can help thousands clean up their tracks because the engineer can only do so much to the stems you give them. The better quality stems equals a better quality mix overall and also gives room for the engineer to put some icing on the cake. Thank you for taking the time to make a video on this subject. Much appreciated!

You literally just removed essential harmonics. Ofc they sound bad when you boost them 12db

Thats what I thought.. But its anoying when you remove them and put them back in, you hear them all the time.. then you can easyliy think that these are resonating

@real.demesure 5 лет назад

When you boost the q and check for résonances, everything’s resonates .. it is a way of really destroying sounds. You really need to do this if it’s something popping and noticeable without the technique of swiping the hole spectrum

@マシュードーラン 5 лет назад

aymane eljahrani Exactly, if you have something like Fabilter you can really see those frequencies popping out and reduce them. The sweeping technique is not the way to go

@skipculture 3 года назад

Exactly. This is the perfect example of severe EQ overkill.

@mattm7426 3 года назад

@viktoronopko2090 6 лет назад

XEDDLLER Music with auto-tune, melodyne or slicing and working your ass off. So formant shifting tools would help too, but they may change the tembre, not the pitch of your track.

@xDTHx 6 лет назад

Melodyne, Newtone, etc.

run it through melodyne, then drag the bad notes closer to the center of the grid. use sparingly

@Taco67_99Fender 4 года назад

Like a Nub, I was boosting with EQ for YEARS, and never really thinking it was all that, then I started mixing in LPX and couldn't make ANYTHING sound like I wanted, so I went to the REDUCTIVE EQ only, till I got my schidmt together, now I willing to boost with EQ a little bit.....

@viktoronopko2090 6 лет назад

Sreejish Nair for sound design i would suggest you try out clipping or saturation. Limiters are compressors with extreme settings, they may trick you. So it is possible, that you get something different to see from what you hear.

@Beatsbasteln 5 лет назад

the "resonances" that you reduced in your bass synths were its formants. or in other words: those are not harsh resonances. edit: what?? you are one of those "don't boost the eq"-guys? damn, that's pretty low level. because actually when you boosted the highend of the synth it did sound better, but you have overdone it a bit. boosts are just as good as dips.

@LifeIsGood1992 6 лет назад

In some cases like Rhodes key or some vocals ,a little of resonance is needed so I think parallel processing will do the job !

I've spend a week EQing all my tracks to death like this for one album. Now I only do it when I hear a problem, or sweep once to find any. Searching too deep into it is a waste of time I think. Unless all you do is mixing.
