in the past 4 years of my learning mixing, may be this is the best video i have watched on youtube. Thankyou Joel for the knowledge. Thankyou almighty.
I think it would be great if you could create more tutorials. I myself have used mixers all the time, but had never understood the equalizing fully. Thanks to you, it's so much clear now!
Hi Joel. Thank you so much for creating this video. 4 years down the road and this video still serves useful to eager learners like me. I have just taken over sound in my church and needed some insights of how all these worked. You made it look simple and I'm gonna try it out. Thank you and god bless ya.
You are a great teacher... I can really appreciate how you are able to highlight the understanding of the information delivered... It's quite beautiful actually
really helpful!!!! very imformative and clearly explained.. just joined the sound team for worship team at church and this was the exact sport of information i was looking for! Thank you very much and God bless YOU!!!
You are doing a fine job for those who are novice or new to world of sound. I was looking for some info. regarding basic EQ. and your video was very helpful. God Bless.
Joel, thank you so much for your video and your ministry. I am also a sound tech for my church and have struggled to understand the concept of EQ, but your video gives me a better understanding. God bless.
Joel, I'm french and bilingual. But to much english peoples don't pronounce and articulate enough. Like they have a potato in the mouth. You are awesome, we hear every word and you explain as a pro, quietly and surely. It's probably the best tutorial ever!!! Salut de Montréal, Bravo mon ami.
I have the same ministry at my local church and tonight while editing a record of the worship session of last sunday I got a little bit angry about the poor sound on the vocals I am getting out of the mixer. So I popped out YT to find a good video that could help me. Sadly I do not have a parametric or sweep knob on my mixer neither good microphones however I think the idea is quite well stated and very useful. God bless you. I think it was no coincidence that I found your video.
Thank you! I just started learning the sound board at my church and I've watched a bunch of videos on it. Yours is by far the easiest to understand for beginners and you hit all the basics without pushing a specific style.
Excellant job Joel. When I started running the sound at my church in 1979 I had to learn everything from what few books I could find and by grabbing the soundman from every music group that I could get access to. Of course there was no internet back then. It probably took me two or three years to learn what you have demonstrated here in nine minutes, ha. Keep up this good work this should be helpful to a lot of people.I am retired from running the sound at church (mostly) and I just play on YT.
I've been searching for videos to help me with vocals equalizing, and videos for acoustic guitar equalizing. This video hit two birds with one stone. And I'm a Christian as well :) Thank you very much!
I found this video and must have clicked mouse bc i wound up about a halfway through the video when you started making adjustments - with a fresh song i figured lets just listen and do what he does (estimating the type of recording I am trying to achieve) - and hells bells g golly jesus if it didn't help build a foundation toward an overall better recording of a song i have recorded multiple ways - sometimes it pays to watch a video and do it from the foundation of your recording - This video is just one of those little setup things i tweak prior to an acoustic guitar vocal recording that is as fundimental as vocal thickening tricks or anything else really - its part of the process now, and it saves me a lot of time throughout the journey.
Ive been learning about EQ and mastering for my home music production for a while now and this really helped explain a lot by SHOWING it. thanks alot its helped me understand about how you must listen to the music and make it fit
praise the lord brother ,i am so happy for watching this video ,now i am using mixer our church ,according your viedo ,and i want another viedo also i hope you will upload another video also ,your teaching style is so good i understand ur teaching style ,god bless you
Thanks! Great simple explicationsteps that took a complex subject and made it relatable and clear to understand the principles. I have a better understanding after viewing. You should create more videos. Great presentation and easy to follow.
this video really helped me to have a better understanding of how frequencies work ;; great job thank you;; also found your style of teaching very easy to comprehend
Great job on eq'ing! I've been in the music scene for a long time and you have a good ear and know what you're doing. I'd be happy playing with you behind the console. Thanks alot!
Thank you for posting this video. I watched it yesterday afternoon and went straight to church and reset the EQ on our lapel mic based on the info you provided. All I can say is "WOW"!! Normally, it's kind of tinny and annoying sounding, but after using the sweepable mid as you described, the same mic was full and rich with plenty of gain before feedback. I would love to see more videos like this from you...professional and informative. THANKS!!
Great tip bro! I've been looking for a well explained video like this, I'm definetly use this to EQ in my church...I'm a guitar player and this is going to help me really good!...God Bless You for doing this! God deserves the best.
Good tutorial mate, I just started working on sound and lighting for local shows. your video is the first i've seen that gives a good idea on what to listen out for when EQ'ing Good Job
I had a Behringer 1202FX mixer, but sold it. I have studio one and Logic Pro 9 and many other software programs, but seem to like studio one the most. Thank you for making this video !!
Another great way to use a sweep EQ when you don't know which frequencies you should dip is: Turn up the gain for, say, the high mids. Then sweep through the complete spectrum and find a spot where you hate the sound that comes out of the speakers. Then dip the gain below 0 and you should have cleaned up your signal quite nicely. After a while you will eventually learn which frequencies have which effect on a signal.
well i just starting watching your video and got interested in the fact that you started in your career at such a young age. I'm 14 years old and started the same way you at a church and i still am. Just as you said, its a lot easier knowing what you're doing if you know what all the buttons do!
great video! can't wait to see more. could you do a video on studio recording an acoustic guitar with one microphone. i'd love to know how to make it sound good.
Great job on the video lesson for EQ. I run a Allen & Heath GL3300 (40 channel mixer). It has been a hard road to learn how to mix my praise team. I till struggle with the EQ (along with the rest board). I do ok, but I am allways looking for ways to improve. There is really not a whole lot of good study materials that explains this. I really enjoyed your video. It was very educational and definately can apply it at church. I would love to see some more Soundboard fundamental videos! Thank you!
Hi, you and I have the same name! Cheers to you from Singapore. I was doing audio works in my campus for 2 years. Learnt quite a lot about mixing and other sound theories. I know exactly what does each knob do on the board. However, I just find it hard to explain it to others on how they work. Your video tutorial was indeed well done! I've finally found a way to explain the mids part in words after your video.
Hey Brother, you need to do a whole series. This is the best stuff on live mix I have been able to find. I would pay for a series like this covering more aspects of live mixing in a church. Give it some thought. There are a lot of churches out their with sound folks that would love to learn more. Be Blessed
dude you are a magician!! please help us to understand how the mid highs and low knobs differ from each other and how should their settings be varying please post a new video of this if you could GREAT JOB!!
Thank you very much for the awesome video I always wanted to know the details of live mixing. By the way, I think you are a great instructor so, It would be a great if you posted more videos. Thanks again for sharing.
This can be done with EQ. If you have an sweepable EQ you can slowly sweep between the highs and lows until you hear the ring. Once you determine the frequency of the ring you can attenuate (cut) the EQ at that specific frequency with a notch filter. It depends on what type of EQ you have though. It can also be done with a graphic EQ one band at a time. This is called "ringing out" the monitors and should be done while the hall is empty.
There are some criticisms of the guitar sound being thin, and it is. But, I would have to hear it in the mix with the drums and bass and whatever else is playing to know for sure if it's good for the overall mix. Good tutorial on how the EQ works over all. Most church sound people don't have the slightest idea of how the sweeps work or how you can use them to find offensive frequencies or boost the ones you want. I think I would apply a high pass filter to the vocal to help with the overall mix. If it's just the singer and the guitar, then the guitar is a little thin.

There are a very few who teach others for FREE what they have learned hard. Thank you for your efforts.

U have an incredible gift of teaching. I especially like ur attention to detail and down to earth personality
I think it would be great if you could create more tutorials. I myself have used mixers all the time, but had never understood the equalizing fully. Thanks to you, it's so much clear now!
Fantastic video. I am the worship leader at my church and I see a lot of room for improvement with our media team. This helps a lot! Hope to see more.

Best "intro to eq" for beginners i've seen. he knows what he's talking about.
So far this is the best explaination in layman's terms I've found on EQ. Thank you so much for putting that together.
Joel, thank you so much for your video and your ministry. I am also a sound tech for my church and have struggled to understand the concept of EQ, but your video gives me a better understanding. God bless.
OMG, THANK YOU! I've been trying to find something to help our church sound engineer... God bless her... she's aweful.

Very good tutorial I wish I saw this a year ago. Thank you.
Great video, come up with more, please, they're helpful!
Great tutorial, please make more.

This is really helpful bro!! specially EQ with our recording projects. I'm just new to recording stuff. and this lesson very useful for us!!!!
Thank you for the this video it really has helped me! i will try it at my church since I EQ my church's instruments
