  • Every mixer eventually hits a wall, and the only way over it is "better instincts". Fortunately, you can cultivate your instincts with a few simple tweaks to your mindset and habits, and Kush Audio's Gregory Scott is all too happy to tell you what he thinks about that!

      As a simple starting point you can use 1k as a mirror point.
      I.e. if you boost @ 2k, cut @ 500 (1k X2 vs /2), boost 10k, cut 100 (1k x10 vs /10). make sense?

      I mix hybrid and only use minimal eq in the box (mostly for surgical stuff) or or unique to plugins stuff like Soothe. I think the difference in the “old way” of one analog eq on vocal in mix is that people used to have a lot more in the tracking chain….I know I do. I will commit EQ to taste in tracking, as well as compression and saturation. Nowadays, the majority of engineers just do clean capture and then a stack of plugins in mix. There’s no right way, but I sure have a lot of fun twisting knobs and making the record sound like the record starting at the tracking phase. I also have found when I’m mixing purely ITB, I have to use lots of plugins to get the sound I get mixing OTB with console and outboard….like more plugins than eqs and comps engaged in my typical OTB mix.

    Fascinating. I do this instinctively but always have the thought “I should be able to do this with less tools and in less moves”. In reality, vocals I deal with for example need at least two instances of Eq. If I reach for another for let’s say just to add air, my brain starts to go into high alert lol. “Doing too much!”. This just freed me. Gem.

    • @pedrosilvaproductions
      @pedrosilvaproductions 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Most times if you have a good recording you barely have to make many adjustments. A good vocalist has very consistent volumes making compression be less pronounced to achieve a desirable outcome and EQ would be just to cut that little bit and sit it well in the mix. I've always heard to make small adjustments on everything

      Agreed, mindset is 98% of the battle. If you can hear a thing, and if you have an instinct about it, you'll eventually figure out what to do about it. Might take another 2 or 72 mixes to figure that out, but it's inevitable. If the mindset isn't right, though, it's hamster wheels all the way down!
