What is good with the null tests is that they simply can’t lie. There is no interpretation, no influence of stars position in firmament, no dragons blood influence, no mixing engineers superstitions. They simply can’t lie. Good educational video, Chris.
It’s amazing how far we’ve come from the old-fashioned graphic equaliser (which EQ comes from) that allowed a home listener to “master” the sound coming from their stereo for their ears and the room.
Hi ! Sound engineers around the world have been making mistakes for decades using equalizers, because they managed phase shifts ... but how do they manage to produce sublime albums? Thanks Chris for reminding us here of the explanation of this "mystery". 😉
I boost certain frequencies and also cut other ones. The tone knobs on a guitar amplifier are essentially EQ controls. If you turn up the mids, the mids get louder. If I turn up 2 K on my EQ of my guitar channel, the 2 K gets louder. Is there a phase shift? That's not the correct question. The correct question should be, "does it improve the sound or not"? Remember one thing. Does it improve your song and will the end user know? If your audience thinks it's fine, then it is fine!
lol I’m putting you on time out for this one. I’ll come back in 3 months and see if you’ve improved your titles. I don’t mind hearing new theories about audio engineering but this was time not well spent. Thank you for your opinion though.
LOL! Thanks for watching anyway. In my line of work, there is room to experiment with things like titles, sometimes it works very well, and sometimes not really, that's why I have more than one option for titles and thumbnails. In this case...wasn't the best one, I'll give you that!
Good video - thanks - - CHRIS, can you recommend a condenser microphone for 300$ which is as good or better sounding than a AKG C414 or SE Electronics 4400 - please (for vocals, accustic guitars) ??
that's the same EQ curve. what does gain matching them for the null prove against the statement that "you can't boost what's not there/can cut things only"?
My point is that boosting frequencies has nothing to do with trying to boost something that is not there, like the comment was pointing out in relation to me EQing my headphones. The Null test shows that boosting and cutting is all about volume, so saying that you can cut things only, doesn't make any sense, it's a false claim.
I’ve never seen so much disagreement on how to do things as I have when it comes to recording music. Almost video is about how everyone else is doing it wrong…or you’ll have someone in the comments telling everyone how it’s all wrong.

Can't go wrong with the null test :-) Thanks brother!
Very instructive video, Chris, thanks for explaining it. The null test is an awesome way to prove this point.
Glad you liked it! Thanks!

Well I think Baxandall would be where it comes from.

Thanks Chris ! God bless you!
You're welcome
God bless and keep you Chris so that you will continue to make new videos.
Thanks, and God bless you too!
Excellent demo for understanding 😊😉 !
Glad you liked it, thanks :)
this looks like a "change my mind" topic and it could be debated in an audio engineers symposium for hours. Great subject for a video on this channel
Thanks Marcel!

This is the best comment I read so far... "does it improve the sound or not"? is the question to askl
yessir

some should just not comment if they are ignorant or no clue. If you don't know what an EQ does....oh my...internet trolls
I'm here to help understand that stuff :-)
Maybe add the question mark to the title to not spread disinformation and be clickbai.. wait, I see what you did there and why I’m here😂
😅Gotcha!

because there is no rules. every single individual have is own way, recipe, tricks and preferences
@@MuzdokOfficialwhat you said is the thing that I learned the most out of watching all these types of videos.
@@nicholsonjay4724 👌🏻
Nice click bait title. 😊
If we couldn't boost then why would almost every manufacturer put it in there. Is every developer doing it wrong?
Good point! Lol!
