  • When editing video, it can be tough to mix music and vocals in a way that isn't distracting. Luckily, by simply "scooping the mids" in your equalizer, you can allow both tracks to play together nicely. It's a very quick and very easy trick that can really level up your videos.
    Thanks to Ron @New Record Day for teaching me this technique!

    I can add another piece of advice, or something to try, from a more audio mixing perspective. You can also sidechain the mid scoop with the dialogue, which in effect automates scooping those mids when they talk, but then "unscoops them" when the dialogue stops. This allows the music to sound full when they are not talking. There should be plenty of videos on sidechaining. Additionally compression will really help with mixing the two.

    Learned a similar trick from Gerald Undone using a single band EQ where i basically scoop the mids, but it has less control than this method, so i think i may try this alternative on my next video. also, once i find an EQ i like, i save it as a preset so i can just drop it onto any music track I'm doing. nice video. well done!

    • @tombuck

      Good luck! I’ve been using this so much since making this video. It’s a huge lifesaver.
