Who cares about EQ'ing? It's about the music. Great melodies, harmonies, interesting arrangement, sounds... Mixing and Mastering, EQ'ing take a back seat. Don't overestimate them. It's often just a waste of time to deal too much with mix mastering. Nobody will hear any differences but you, pro's and audiophiles. But not 99% of the consumer. My experience as composer and arranger. And yep you can quickly ruin your music when you're not a sound engineer. Composers and arrangers like me shouldn't have to do anything about mix, mastering, and all that sound finalizing stuff.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! It's true that great melodies, harmonies, and arrangements are the heart of a great track, but mixing and mastering are crucial for bringing out the best in those elements. EQ, for instance, helps ensure that each part of your music has its own space, which can make the difference between a track that sounds cluttered and one that sounds polished and professional. Even though most listeners might not pinpoint specific EQ adjustments, they certainly notice the overall quality and clarity of the sound. Good mixing and mastering help your music translate well across different listening environments, ensuring that your creative vision comes through as intended. While it's understandable that not everyone wants to dive into these technical aspects, they play a significant role in making sure your music reaches its full potential.
@@sageaudio Thanks for your reply, and I agree!
Inverted phase on a De-esser is so damn crazy😭🔥🔥🔥🔥
I tried it and just setting up the inverted phase method takes much longer than throwing a de-esser... definitely complicating things here on purpose
@SchibbiSchibbi well obviously it takes longer to set up. It's meant as an alternative for the regular way if the regular way doesn't work.
I've already used the inverted phase method a few times since I said that. Definitely use the regular method for ur average situation. But I've had clients with TERRIBLE mic quality.
So, instead of trying to throw a million eqs and de-essers to try and balance it out, I inverted the phase of the sibalance's region.
Some mics just can't be mixed normally.
Mixing is very relative, and no song is the same. There will always be something u have to do differently. So try to obtain as many alternatives as possible. The more tools u have, the more unstoppable you'll be as an engineer.💙✨️
@@SchibbiSchibbi Right. Nobody needs these tricks. Just concentrate on your music, period.
Always wondered if FL stock equalizer can compete with the Fabfilter? Would the end product of mastering your track change drastically?
not a fan of duplicating + inverting phase track. Come one guys, there are de-esser, Sidechained methods... in order to keep workflow simple. Sage audio is bloating things up for content lately :(
I wish that you can explain more simpler I don’t need this expensive words to understand what eq is with luv 💙
I love me a good Cheesecake Factory fuck is you talkin bout 😂you so fire 😍👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾….
That’s you singing. Nice job.
A younger version yeah haha. Thanks for watching!
Loved the tips-can’t wait to try them out!
Ngl i learned some game changing info from u, appreciate u
Thank you! Great to hear this one was helpful
Wow, thank you this is phenomenal 🔥
Damn, your knowledge is endless.
I know! How did he acquire all this knowledge??
can i listen to the full song you used here? If yes, tell me the name.
interested as well
This guy really sounds like that science kid on tik tok
Great tips,thanks for sharing!
Plugin Boutique has the Scaler EQ now which does key specific EQ. Haven't had chance to play with it yet but seems like a cool idea.
I just went on their website and listened to part of a promotional vid. Loaded with P pops (plosives). And my room is flat. Tells me enough.
And the answer to how to use eq to make the vocal sound GOOD is definitely not dipping 300hz and increasing 3khz😂
Depends on a case to case basis, but it doesn't sound ridiculous.
@@phinn9823 yea the answer is really “it depends”. Vocal can lose clarity if like 200hz or 400hz is too much and it can also sound bad if you have excessive 3khz so it’s pointless.
It could be. That’s the point - how those frequency ranges affect our perception of the voice, rather than “always do this move.” That’s the way I take it anyhow.
He said to create more clearity (if needed) these frequencies are the starting points … but how much gain shift you use on a certain track or instrument at these frequencies depends on the source material :)
@@hcl8836 if you have something like exccesive 400hz masked higher frequency no matter how much you boost 3khz the sound would just be more harsh
I end up realizingbthat all my equalisation curves looks like Low or high shelves
Scientific broooo!❤
❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much
That 2k low shelf is crazy good!
the words in the song like secondhand cigarette smoke, have another hit of fresh air, piercing the veil
Needed this king
He does sound like the realest puppet in the game 😉🙃
Please do a full tutorial on tuning with eq. I need it please
is it better to use additive eq before or after compression for vocals?
3rd.
Great teacher ! Love the details
Great tips!! is that you singing?
Aye, i am first out here. I bet this video is great
The flipped phase De-esser is how SPL Hardware De-esser works
I once did unintentionally. I liked it though I wasn't confident enough. I thought my ears were tricking me or something.
3:35 should we do that on a full mix to make it a bit "lite" and pleasing to listen to
You could try it! Probably best to keep it subtle though. Thanks for watching!
@@sageaudio got it thanks
