Diagrams at 2:40 are great. Been watching so many beginner EQ videos and having trouble understanding how it affects the waveform until I saw your clear and simple video. Awesome work.
I was going to say Sound Ninja. But now I’m going to say “COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE”. Haha. Great job. Love all your videos they are so helpful and I appreciate how your not ashamed to say your from a church and love God.
A stage snake is used to take a bunch of mic cables and bundle them into one thicker cable to keep the stage cleaner and more organized. So you put it near your inputs, then run it to your mic inputs, either on the stage box for your digital console, or into the back of the analog mixer's preamps.
Thanks! About the Boost > Sweep > Cut method, I get why that would be bad... but how do you suggest finding frequencies that you would want to cut without using that method? I'll keep looking through your videos to see if you haven't answered this already.
The methodical way is to pick a frequency, cut it, and then see if I "hit" what I was looking for. If not, put the gain back to 0, and then try a different frequency. Over time I've gotten quick enough to just adjust up or down a little if I haven't gotten what I was aiming for. This helps keep your ear fresh while trying things.
I liked it, especially the part about changing one at a time and dropping the ineffective change to move on. I fear to show this to my lead singer and watch her eyes slowly glaze over as she asks me for a cup of coffee to keep her awake. Life without coffee is sleep. thanks again James for a great video. Oh..how about one where you actually adjust some vocals and instruments? (besides the nice one with Jon and his team)
I'm starting out to turn knobs in our church. This video is great! Is there a video where you go in-depth to further explain the "shrill, boxy, muddy" etc sounds? God bless.
Hey Levkin! Thanks for serving before you're confident! I recommend soundgym.co to help train your ear to identify frequencies. This video might be helpful too th-cam.com/video/jjn1O7K0WSg/w-d-xo.html
Nice Vid James...very informative...but I've been wondering if it really worth it to try using equaliser when listening to music. Does it improve the quality of the music or tune the sound a little?
I think you're talking about using EQ on your listening device when playing recorded music... and that's really used for personal preference to adjust whatever speakers you're listening through. It can really help when you have speakers that need a little help to shine, or you want a little more "bump." Does that answer your question?
This was really helpful, but I genuinely don't like the taste of coffee. I'm almost 40 and I've never been a coffee drinker. Is it okay if I skip that part? Or am I doomed to produce bad EQ forever?
But how do you eq without any bits getting lost in yhe music quality todsy i went to an audio store which granted me that when i used eq from spotify and listening to quobuz my music quality would be worse if i used the spotify eq/Electronic eq
Allow me to introduce a new unit of measurement for sound volume, which I call vovol* (abbreviated: volume voltage). THIS IS HOW IT WORKS: You use two pre-stages, one with positive volume values, and the other negative. For example, so has the pre-step with positive values a measurement from +0 decibels up to +20, while the one with negative values, has from -0 decibels down to -20 decibels. The highest voltage occurs when the value is +20 -20 decibels (or: +20- vovol), while there is low voltage, when the value is on +0 -0 decibels (or: +0- vovol). You can possibly also combine two different values with each other, by adjusting the value to +10 -20 vovol, which gives a crisper effect. Have experimented with this myself at work and at home. The adjustment can of course be set to taste, but the purpose of vovol for me is to equalize the sound volume, so that you better hear weak sounds and at the same time avoid high deafening sound levels (loudness war's). Thank you for reading this! Take care of your hearing... :-)
This is a really good video, but I am still confused, lets say I play a middle A on a guitar, and I was to turn the bass and mids all the way down and the treble all the way up, wouldn't this mean that my guitar tuner will pick up the overtones or harmonics at 880hz etc thereby changing the perceived tuning? Presumably the answer is that eq actually makes relatively minor adjustments so it won''t change the perceived tuning of the instrument... but I just guessing on that one.
@@AttawayAudio I did a test and you seem to be right... playing with the knobs made no difference to the perceived tuning of the instrument. So somehow a tuner (or our ears) seem to be able to hear the fundamental even though it is a lot quieter. I still don't quite understand how this is possible but at least I have learn't a lot about eq. :)
Hi sir am called Romaric from Cameroon I have been given a position of being in charge of the sound system in our church but I don't know anything please I want you to take me for your private classes and teach me sound engineering from the beginning waiting to hear from you.
Don't drink coffee. Caffeine consumption is linked with increased likelihood of tinnitus. If you're exposing yourself to loud noise for your work, leave the coffee out.
I typically mix in a quieter environment and even if it gets to 92-94 or so, it's for short periods of time, so my risk of noise-induced hearing loss is low. but yes, I have heard that before.
Are you a Sound Ninja? Let me know by commenting below!
Attaway Audio not even close playa
Sound kinder garden :)
oh boy
Diagrams at 2:40 are great. Been watching so many beginner EQ videos and having trouble understanding how it affects the waveform until I saw your clear and simple video. Awesome work.
This is SO good and should be mandatory watching for ALL church audio guys and gals!!! PLEASE give us better sound!!
Wow, thanks for the kind words, John!
THANK YOU! I have an exam on this tomorrow and I really couldn't figure it out, you've explained it better than my actual teacher
Where did you study?
This felt like college level structure, very well explained. also I am a sound ninja!
4:19 give it my full attention, put my phone away, and stop talking to other and actually pay attention
Got it. 👍
Great job man. Very simple, straight to the point, and helpful. Loved the pro tip on coffee, he’s not lying guys and gals.
Thanks Jay! ☕️
I am a very beginner at church and i appreciate your explanation regarding EQ in audio.
This guy is funny
Which also sharpen our attention and his good at explaining
Lol thank you!
Hey man, all I do is turn the knobs... Great stuff James. More people need to see these. And as always, its all about the low end. :)
jcsoundguy ... more or less jc ?
I was going to say Sound Ninja. But now I’m going to say “COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE”. Haha. Great job. Love all your videos they are so helpful and I appreciate how your not ashamed to say your from a church and love God.
Dude ur awesome!! Had to sub
Thanks bro!
I have hearing loss, and severe Tinnitus. An equalizer wouldn't make a difference to me. I love this video though. Great job!
sound ninja! Totally making sense! This is awesome!
Glad it was helpful! Keep crushing it Mariam-Saba!
Sound ninja. This helps me a lot, helps me get a better idea what else I need to learn
Sound ninja. Thanks man.
Thank you, you are fun, easy to understand and you are appreciated. Thank you.
Sound Ninja out here learning the audio scripture
Bout to use the skills you teaching to paint a musical picture
you are so encouraging, thank you!! I have learned something about kindness from you.
Awesome video! Sound Ninjaaaa!!!
Very nicely done!
Subbed...
Dear Sir, I want to know how can I use Stage Snake Cable???? And from where to where it is going on stage? Please explain briefly!
A stage snake is used to take a bunch of mic cables and bundle them into one thicker cable to keep the stage cleaner and more organized. So you put it near your inputs, then run it to your mic inputs, either on the stage box for your digital console, or into the back of the analog mixer's preamps.
Attaway Audio ... unless you are iggy pop ... unzip and flop it out !
This video is gold. Thank you.
Great explanation for a beginner like myself!
How do you get remove breakage from your mic

love you from the first video subscribed

Hey can u please tell how to do eq on analogue mixer to avoid feedback
Brilliant dude!

Levkin ... not enough knobs in church already ?
Lots of knob action in the catholic church
Attaway Audio ... awesome advice on soundgym ... thanks again ... your like the gift that keeps on giving.
Great Video❤
this is so helpful ! THank YoU :)))))

This is insane content well done

I'm referring specifically about EQ for mixing individual instruments, not playback of music mix.
You're awesome brother!
no YOU are Eliezer!
Great video, informative and funny!
Glad you enjoyed it Tyler!

I have a graphic EQ on my Peavy PA (it's old but all I can afford) can you help me EQ for an acoustic duo? Please
Not without hearing it! Sorry 😥
@@AttawayAudio understood. I appreciate your videos. I've learned a good deal
