A freaking Masterclass for absolutely nothing. Zero. Zilch. Cero. Nada. Amazing. So much value in one video!!! This is why Warren is one of a kind.
Wow!! Thanks ever so much! I’m so glad to be able to help
Thank you! Warren I have been trying to remove the harsh freq's from my vocals and with Waves Q10 I managed to achieve it finally Thank you Warren you thought us the most important subject about mixing really eqing things is so powerful! I still can't beleive my ears All the harshness of my Rode NT-1A gone thanks to you and Waves. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing Warren you are the man!
I just want to say I really appreciate you man. When i plopped myself down in my "producer chair" for the first time, I felt like an ape put into a rocket ship. Thanks for taking the time to explain this stuff. I feel less lost.
When i first started my little home studio & was beginning the huge & never-ending learning slope of recording & mixing etc...i spent hours & hours trawling videos & blogs trying to link the nuggets of knowledge together, but i to have say in this 30 minute clip, you've managed to explain & show the EQ in all it's glory. Seriously great work, please please keep it up...& a big thank you.
Wow that's very high praise indeed Scott Davis! I really appreciate your kind words and I'm so glad I can help out! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
This was one of the best EQ explanation and demonstration videos I've seen! Thank you Warren! I really appreciated the comparison between multiple plugins and physical gear. I was surprised that I did hear a difference between different EQs and of everything you demonstrated I liked the Pultec simulator best! I learned a big lesson here that even though 5 EQ plugins might all do the same thing, they might not all sound the same.
Thank you Warren for such great content. This material breaks complex topics down into nice easy bites man. Love it!
Absolutely love your lessons. You're unreal. Thank you so much for taking, what I'm sure is a fair amount of your time, to share your knowledge.
I loved that you A/B both outboard gear and plug in. Nice explanations too. Thank you.
Thank you, what a great lesson. There are many lessons on line about EQ but this is special cause it lets us hear and learn about gear that is not common in a home studio. Love your stuff, thank you.
Hi Tamir Keren so very kind of you! I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
I love your videos! I am a drummer that is trying hard to learn as much as I can about recording. Your lessons and instruction have been a tremendous help.
I love you for your service to our community. Thank you a million
Hi warren! Many thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with the rest of us. Your stuff is one of the best of RUclips by far.
Aw shucks Rafael Graterol thank you very much for your kind words! I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Great video Warren, there's always something that sparks my imagination in them. Thank you.
Enjoyed this video Warren. Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Richard
Hi +Richard James Thanks very much! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Such an informative channel! My new favorite for sure.
Excellent info. Thanks again. Just watching how you use your DAW is a huge help.
Hey.. I just discovered your videos... they're great I really appreciate what you're doing keep up the good work!!!!
Dude, I appreciate you so much. I look forward to everyone of your videos. You kick ass.
Thanks very much Samsel And The Skirt! I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren, a fantastic eq tutorial. Thanks for your whole series of videos. They are inspiring to watch.
Hi +stoneslice Thanks very much for your kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing! Many thanks Warren
exellent way to teach me whats outside of the box and how to manipulate it.thanks for sharingyour knowlege .its one thing to have it and apply it and its a whole nother gift to want to share and actually be a good teacher so you can..and you do. thank you
Great great video. Muchas gracias. It's amazing how far plugins have come, but also how much better the original hardware are
Hi +Adita Nc Yes amazing isn't it? Thanks very much indeed for your great comment! Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
Thank you very much for this video. It was very very helpful and informative
I binged your first 8 videos and thought I should take a break lol
I started playing around and I can’t even explain how much everything opened up, it’s appreciated man.
This is amazing material you have here and I’ll watch everything after some sleep.
I’ll try not to bug you too much, had to say thank you tho
Wow! Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it
@@Producelikeapro I have a question but I don’t want to waste your time, I’m not a professional. I have a guitar solo that is too abrasive and clunky, and maybe sloppy. So I learned the part and have retracked it cleaner, but now I have 6 tracks of the same solo cleaner but I miss the clunky of the original, and it changes the feel of the part. Do you ever go with not perfect parts over other ones for the benefit of the song?
Produce Like A Pro This is a WONDERFUL video. This is just an amazing amount of great information as well as having a great message as an undertone. You don't need expensive gear to get a good sound. Expensive gear can just give you nuance that may or may not be preferential to you.
Thanks again, Warren! Nice tips, as usual. By the way, I bought the Klanghelm Compressor because of your review...and I love it!
Hello Warren. You have a great ability to explain something in very few words but makes perfect sense! I never quite understood the difference between an Active and Passive EQ before... but I do now! Great explanation!!! Keep up the great videos! Cheers! Danny.
Hi Danny MacNevin Wow thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
What an awesome video warren
This is a great overview of the EQ process, thanks!
One point I would make, which is touched upon when Warren mentions cutting a frequency on one element while simultaneously boosting the same frequency on another element, is the art of "eq-ing in place", which means making eq changes to an instrument or voice while you hear it in the mix. If you eq each element by itself until each sounds "great" solo'd, you may be disappointed when you put it all together, because there's too much overlap of similar frequencies and that can clutter a mix or make it muddy.
Great vid Warren! I have about 4 pages of notes that I have made regarding 7 songs I recorded, and at least 60% have to do with EQ issues. This vid was perfect, and perfectly timed! Thank you ever so much!
Hi Mark Kinne thanks very much! I really appreciate it! So glad I could help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Thanks for posting this stuff! Great lesson in EQ's as well as GTR shaping.
Hi todd purnick yay thanks!! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Great video!! Total newb and this makes everything much clearer.
Hi +doodlebug supreme Great! So glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great info! Thanks a lot from Argentina!
Great lesson Warren! When I chose a parametric EQ for my rack, after much research, I chose a Klark-Teknik DN4000 for the following reasons. 1st, Being new to parametric EQs, I wanted to have that visual representation to help me both see and learn more about how what I was doing was effecting the curves. 2nd, I wanted to be able to "save" settings for different instruments in my studio, and 3rd, I needed something within a fairly low price range. So far, I've loved it. I initially bought it specifically for my Goodall acoustic guitar, which is my best sounding acoustic, but always tracks with one particular frequency from the g string that is quite unpleasant. The EQ allowed me to find the exact frequency, and completely attenuate it, so that its no longer noticeable at all when I'm recording. Thanks as always! :-)
Hi +Samos12 Great stuff! It sounds like you made a great purchase for a specific reason and solved a problem very effectively! Congrats! Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Fabulous lesson and nice engaging presentation :)
Thankyou for sharing your knowledge
Hi julian phillips thank you very much for your incredibly encouraging words and your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
REALLY HELPFULL, THANKS!!!
Hey Warren, love your videos, i learned alot. Something that is bad about this video is the rumble going on in the background. When posting a video were you need to be able to listen to what you do, its pretty annoying to get this damn rumble :( Maybe its your cooling fan or something. Its a super easy fix, so im amazed you uploaded this video in the first place.
Loving the cricket ball Warren! (And all the tips of course...)
Hi +paul barton Thanks!! haha yes Cricket!! I grew up on Boycott, Brearley and Botham!! Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Thanks Warren! u are really awesome.... thank you very much!
great lesson Warren!, Thank You!
Really really informative and very helpful - thanks !
Hi Craig Dove thank you ever so much! I really appreciate your very kind words! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Warren, you're the best.
Hi +Philip DiCicco Thanks very much! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Thank you so much ! Great and not boring tutorials ;)
Hi Žarko Zlatar thanks you ever so much for your kind words!! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
We have the IGS Audio RB ME in 500 series, which is a stereo passive pultec type EQ and there is a degree of smoothness and weight in the low end that I just can't quite get in plugins and the highs are far more musical - when the Q is appropriately set, you can only tell the EQ is engaged after you bypass it and realise the magic is gone and you're left with something that sounds a little dull and inorganic! It's hard to use words to explain! Great video once again. Thanks!
Hi Kirsten Monahan thanks for the great comment! Yes the real Pultecs have a little magic to them! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Fascinating video Warren, Thank you. Using the high pass/low pass to 'clear out' space for the vocals and other instruments makes perfect sense to me now in the overall 'painting' of the audio picture of a bands presentation. I am sure good live presentations are doing the same. Some bands just have just so much more "presence" in their sound. (each instrument is clearly definable to the audience) Do you have any insight on how this is done? Thank you for a great series, came here from Scott's bass lessons. - Pete
Well that's a riff that won't come out of my head for a while :D
Thanks for the awesome video! :D
Hi Milan Jejina thanks very much for your kind words, I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Good stuff, man. Thanks for sharing!
Hi JulianFernandez thanks for watching I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
very cool Warren, sorry for not posting comments on your vids, but you are doing great on these, great info on the EQ's, and thanks for showing the passive EQ and getting an idea of the difference... yes I like the real one more than the plugin... wish I could afford a real one.
~~Rich from Painfinger.~~
Hi Richard Kurbis thanks for the great comment! I really appreciate it! It's interesting how much of a difference the real Pultec has over the plug in simulation! Thanks for watching and sharing, have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Great tips. Thank you for sharing
Hi Afum Koranteng Thanks very much for your comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks
Just found your chanel from Adam @ RealHomeRecording YT chn. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge I wish I had your chn back 20 years ago haha People were not to keen on showing off their chops, you're a great teacher & engineer. Cheers subbed.
Hi +Watchman4u Aw shucks thanks very much indeed!! I love giving back and showing everyone what it's like in the real world making music! Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
EXCELLENT info...!!! Thanks
Thanks very much Gamaliel! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Awesome Video!.
Aw shucks thanks Alexander Martin-Blanken! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
i've listened this video on my tv and the plugin version of passive eq sounded as drastic as an active one :D
Love these videos. So much information in them I usually have to watch them a couple times to make sure I didn't miss anything. What is your favorite hardware EQ and what is your favorite software EQ? Are there any hardware EQs that are a really good value? What about your favorite Vintage EQ?
Hi Steven Butler thanks very much, I really appreciate it! Hardware EQ I love the Pultecs, for instance they are across my master bus at all times, also the Phoenix DRS EQ is my go to for guitar eq plus I just got the BAE B15 EQ which I'm really excited about! My go to plug in since they came out is the McDSP Filter bank, they are easy to use and sound amazing! I do love the Waves EQs though perfect for detail work and their interface is extremely easy to navigate and use. I do hope that helps! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
That helps immensely. I don't think I can afford a vintage pultec at the 16k price point for a while though. However I did manage to pull up a schematic for it and it looks like I could build a replica for a few hundred. That is much more in my price range. Also looking over the schematic for it seems like a relatively easy first vintage audio project.
Hi Steven Butler glad to be able to help! The new Pultecs are more affordable, there are some clones that Warm make using cheaper components and yes there the kits as well. Definitely worth getting something like that for tonal variation! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Sweet little tip for guitarists? Those lithium batteries in most of the clip on tuners? I've paid $6 apiece in markets. Go to the Dollar Tree and buy those cheap horrible electronic tea lights with switch on bottom. Inside is a CR 2032 3 VOLTbattery. Buy a dozen. Cheers, mate and have a great day. Thanks for the fantastic help, Warren.
Hi Mikey! Great tip!! Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Great way to maximise waste. Never mind single use plastic. We're moving on to zero use plastic!
Another Amazing video?
thanks again!
Hi Steve Antoniazzi thanks very much! I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
I think and I believe that plugins in general do their job very very well and that might be TOO well for our human ears. I mean no acoustic instrument is ever exactly tuned. And I personally love listening to my mix on laptop and smartphone speakers or other casual speakers besides my monitors cause this un-perfectness really adds character to the song and makes it that charming that we want it to be. So I really love the sound of those old fashion EQs.
Hi +Christopher Klix (Ceekae) Great! It's wonderful to be able to listen in all different environments! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
The plug-in Pultec sounded "deader"? to my ears. Thanks for these videos, I am setting up a little home studio and find them very valuable.
Hi Vampiracho glad I can help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Great vid Warren, I got heaps out of it.
Hi TheOompahRoundabout glad to be able to help! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Excellent tips👍🏽
Hi Mac, Thanks ever so much!
Thank you sir... thank you very much.
Most welcome
Was waiting for this one! Just goes to show that you don't need to spend a ton of money to make great music! Btw a cricket ball in the background 😅
Thanks Rishabh Kumar so glad I can help! Good spot on the Cricket Ball, you can take the Englishman out of England but you can't England out of the Englishman! Haha Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
I really wish I could take the low end of the hardware pultec and the high end of the plugin. The hardware version had such a sweet and round low end, but the high end sounded too harsh. The plugin seemed a lot smoother on the high end. Combining the 2 would sound amazing!
Hi Warren - thanks for your great videos. They have been a real blessing to me and I've learned a lot. I do a lot of vocal overdubs aiming for the Brian Wilson 'full' sound. Could you offer any hints on eq and compression in particular to reproduce that layered sound? Thanks - Jim+
thankyou for not having a big horrible dubstep intro
Hi +Wench Haha there goes my Dubstep intro I was working on! Haha How about generic 'sounds of synthetic water' from the cheap TV theme disc number 12? Haha No? Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
haha just went back and saw this again! Has even more meaning for me now that I've been doing RUclips for 4 years now!
@@Producelikeapro haha Warren, youre such a legend.
Sorry to be so off topic but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Huxley Jamison Instablaster :)
Thank you immensely! You rock!
Nice job
Hello Sir, just watched this cool video, I was thinking about buying an EQ and use it when recording the heavy guitars, now I use the EQ on my Torpedo Live rack but heard a comparison video between a Pultech style rack and puigtech plugin and now in your video I can hear that difference too. I think I should put a Pultech style EQ in my wish list, thanks for this great video
So glad to be able help! The Pultec is a great EQ! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing many thanks Warren
Great video Warren! I had no idea what the technical difference was between an active and passive EQ before now. Now I truly understand what is meant by it's "adding musicality" to the mix. :) P.S. To me the UAD Pultec plugin is less bright sounding than the Waves version and a much more accurate simulation.
Hi Derek Whitaker thanks for the great comment I really appreciate it! Excited to use the UAD plug ins! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Highly informative and explained very clear! Who needs (UK) colleges when there are videos like this online? Thank you :)
Hi Adam Callan haha thanks very much! I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Great Video. The Pultec absolutely smokes the plugin.
Hi +Steve Fisher Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Didn't know that about passive eq. Interesting. I heard the difference on the pultec immediately. Less low mids, harmonic distortion and transient response was different too. Less pleasant.
Hi Warren thanks for this lesson on EQ very interesting, although I am pretty clueless about EQ. Could you tell me which frequencies are associated with the different instruments ? is there a chart available for that ? Thanks very much
Would love a video in which you go into detail on how to make a voice (for stuff like podcast so no singing) sound better? How to take make your voice sound warmer and improve diction, that type of stuff. Awesome video as always. :)
Hi +Mullematsch Perfect! Great idea! Will do in a future video!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Awesome, thank you. Will look out for it. Keep up the great work. :)
HI +Mullematsch You're welcome! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I can definitely hear the difference between the hardware and software passive eq. The hardware passive eq just seems to have a more beefy sound. I personally prefer the classic analog effects over plug-ins.
Hi Johnny Jukebox yes there is definitely a difference. But the plug ins do offer a relatively inexpensive way to get a similar but not exact sound. Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Great job man thanks IMO the Pultec gear seams to add the desired tone and a bonus of more presence with out a large volume boost and that could have over the mix have great benefits as you try to balance .Just my 2 cents .
Hi +Mike Gibbons Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Good Day Warren! One quick question: When you look at your monitor the way you do, when you work with the DAW: Are there another pair of monitors? Or are you just listening to the ones we see behind the meter bar? If there are no monitors, do you do this on purpose to concentrate on sound when mixing on the console or something like that? You know the old symmetry/stereo triangle thing you are hammered in. I think I would be "to afraid" to make any decisive decisions in the daw if I'd just be hearing with one ear :)
Chris
Pultec sounds Delish!
Hi +bubz75 Haha agreed! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
IMO the hardware pultec eq sounded much more real and organic compared to the plug in, the ssl seemed like it had a phasing character to it. Are we hearing the audio from the camera's microphone or are you feeding it in from protools.
Thanks
For the video!
Hi Warren, yet another awesome video!! Thanks a bunch! I just utilized all of this in my mix. Wow! Although I have one question: What about eq'ing a second rhythm guitar when panning both guitars left and right? Do the same eq "rules" apply? low cut and hi-cut, boost at 5k, etc? Should I eq them differently, so they dont take up each others space? All the best, and I hope YOU are doing marvellously well. :D
Hi Cato Jørgensen great question! I would apply the same EQ, however often when using the same guitar I will change the delay slightly. Check out my guitar production techniques videos for more information. Here's part 1 ruclips.net/video/pucjHWFGttM/видео.html Thank you ever so much for watching and I really appreciate your very kind words! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
i think the hardware passive eq sounds better. I would describe it as sounding more warm and rounded than the plug-in passive eq. However when operating on a low budget the plug-in will do the job with great results.
Hi +The Knealing As far as the Pultecs go, I have to agree! Happy New Year! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
As I have worked to learn about mixing as a home hobbyist for the past 2 years, I have gained a lot of theoretical knowledge by reading and watching RUclips clips. I often wished I could call a local studio and sit and watch them use their tools live. See their decisions and why they make them. You are doing that for me. I cannot express how simply great your videos are.
I found the real Puig Tec has more presence, openness and was pleasingly brighter. The plug in seemed a tiny bit more muddy, fuzzy/cloudy; darker. The PT one was good but not nice as the hardware one.
I wonder with real equipment there is a harmonic factor happening that just can't happen digitally - meaning frequencies shaping each other?
If you know the basic EQ "shape", I imagine you should begin EQ shaping during tracking?
Hi Fezzler61 thanks for the fantastic comment!! I really appreciate your kind words and I'm so glad I can help! I believe all the points you are making are very valid and are probably all a big part of why digital won;t ever be the same, however I love my Plug Ins, they may not be as random as analog but I love the dependability and ease of recalling mixes that they bring! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hello Warren. If there is any way possible I would appreciate it if you could do a video on equalization for hand drums like bongo, conga, djembe etc. your vids are awesome and have helped so much.
Hi +The Knealing That's a great idea! Will do that in the future!! Happy New Year! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
The best lesson eq for guitar.
How about eq bass guitar n kick drum?
Warren - another great video. I have the Puigtec plugin and use it on occasion but will use it more now after watching this video. I definitely think the hardware version was better but the plugin was nice. I would love to see you do a video on patch bays - normaled vs. half-normaled, etc. I'm also anxiously awaiting part 2 of your video on Linda's studio. Thanks again for your efforts.
Hi Jed Wunderli thanks ever so much for watching and commenting! Yes there is a patch bay video coming shortly and part 2 of Linda's studio! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro I second my interest in a video of patchbays-- I have always found the signal path related things to be confusing in regards to patchbays. Thanks so much Warren for all your informative videos. This series on 'How To Record' is fantastic. It really fills in the gaps of info for self-taught engineers like myself who are still trying to nail some missing fundamentals.
Hi Shayne S. thanks very much! That is exactly why I wanted to do the 'How To Record' Series, I wanted to cover all of the basics from the ground up, at least as well as I can! The patch bay video will be done very soon! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Amongst other things I think the thing I came away with here is "Get a hardware EQ" There's an obvious difference, with analogue sounding so much more organic and warm. The difference on the guitar was SO noticeable, even over average headphones. I love the preamps on my RME UCX because they're so transparent, so I think pairing that with an EQ would be killer. Alright... it's added to the Christmas list.
Hi Howard Hedger thanks for the great comment! I really appreciate it! Yes I do love Hardware EQ and compression, however Plug Ins can sound amazing and are so easily available and significantly less expensive! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Hey Warren, thanks for this amazing series. This was one of the best tutorial for EQing I've ever seen. It helped a lot! I have a question regarding plugins... You said that you can use free plugins and do the same job as with expensive ones. Why should one purchase any of those and what is exactly their advantage? Thanks!!!
Marko Vucinic paid ones have mega good computer pragrammers and the free ones tends to be made by individuals. There r some great free plugins. And its a good place to start. The difference can be massive! warren did a vid on free plug ins
Nice vid. You should use a HPF on the mic hehe...lots of low rumble.
Hi Warren, general question. around 22m when you talk about the differences between the Puig Tec vs the Pultec, made me think about remix comps and the "creativity better than gear" argument (bear with me!). I believe you judge remix comps regularly and I was thinking about what you judge? What I mean is, I am in the box all the way, low end gear, but happy to follow the "creativity is better than gear" argument, since it supports my own view, and where I am at!! Yet when you are judging a remix, won't you hear the quality of the gear in the eq/compression etc and won't you effectively be judging that the better gear produces a better sound equals a better remix?
QUESTION: I have a horrible time with my mid/low range frequencies and watching your videos has definitely helped me - however, I do have this question that I can't seem to find an answer for anywhere. How does a car EQ actually adjust the correct frequencies? Or does it just have a standard frequency it increases? The reason I ask is because a lot of times I can find the PERFECT sound of the entire song when I adjust the EQ in a certain ration (such as 9-3-3 being Bass, Mid, Treble) . Any suggestions of how to replicate that in the DAW?
Nice one with the PulTech/PuigTech!
Hi +67Stu Thanks! The Pultec's sound amazing don't they!! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren, first of all great video as allways. Thanks for sharing all these great stuff with us!
Isn't it harder to hear all details when you are not sitting in front of your studio speakers? You are sitting sideways to the speakers or are there more hidden in front of you?
Hi +onesidez I have speakers at the monitor and I have some on the console when I'm mixing and I have a Pro Tools operator sitting at the monitor! I hope that clarifies? Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
i would love to have you compare the klark technik eqp-kt against your pultec
Ho Warren. Great show as always. You mentioned that you liked the Warm Audio EQP-WA and I was wondering how it was for acoustic guitars, and guitars in general?
Hi +Jak Leyton I think the Warm is a good sounding EQ that I might use on an instrument or two, but I don;t honestly think it sounds close to a Pultec, but that shouldn't stop you from trying it out! It's very inexpensive! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren.
How do you know that certain sounds ( like the crack of a snare ) occur at certain frequencies? Is this just something you memorized or is there a way to find it using some kind of tool? Same question about guitar and certain boost points, I hear people say cut 70, boost 120, 3200 - these types of guidelines are universal?
Am I Wrong, but does the att on the far right on the Puig tec regulate the 5,10,20 selector ?
warren m watching all ur videos in series n getting info abt all sorts of thing thanks from heart...m a guitarist n m planning to have a home studio can u suggest me wat all things I should have from many days m working on it...
Hi +dishant samota Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
A stupid question: Will you adjust the eq on your amp while recording or you just record it and adjust the eq in the mix?
Hi there, just found your channel so I have a lot of content to go through! I was wondering if you have any lessons on how to set up the eq on my guitar amp for a recording session. Should I set it up the same way I set it up in my room when I thought it sounded cool? How much does the eq on the amp matter if it can be adjusted after its tracked?
Hi +SLIMZ34 Great question! I do have some guitar recording videos. But yes I would set up the EQ so it sounds good to you in the room then adjust from there! There's a few things to consider with EQ but that is all dependent on the genre and the instrumentation. Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Will you make videos for other plugins such as Compressor in the future? Your videos are very informative!
Hi Tuan Ngo Hoang Anh thanks very much for your kind words! Yes I am definitely going to do a comprehensive Compressor video very soon! Have a marvelous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Thank you for doing this video Warren it was really comprehensive. I was just wondering about your hi pass cut at 70hz for guitars. I've watched other videos that say the bass drum lives at 60hz. Does this mean the bass guitar lives at 65hz? It seems to be a very small space. Just wondering... Thanks very all you do!
Hi Musical Cooking thanks for the great question! I high pass the guitar at 70-100hz, but there isn't a good strong low down there below 200hz. Basically band pass to remove the low unwanted rumble. The lows on your kick live around 40-70hz. Bass can glue things together in the lows around 60-100hz and some low mids are useful as well. I hope that helps! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
