Would love to see an episode on mic placement for vocals, off axis vs on axis, angled down vs up, sitting lowers vs higher, further vs closer. Also how to place a mic to solve specific issues like sibilance, plosives, telephonic characteristics, sizzle… and the characteristics of the vocal to sit into a particular mix (placing the mic to compliment the voice in a given situation). Love your content, Colt! Been following you for years.
Good for studio recordings app. In live enviroment, on stage, there are anothers rules for keep the feedback as low. In a studio room we can do everything you teached us here but on stage.....we have few more rules for distroy the feedback. Highselv on highs with boost 😂 ....never on stage.
This is the best vocal EQing video I've found yet, definitely keeping this one around to refer back to. Helped me with EQing dialogue for video essays ^_^
This the most amazing eq video i have watched. Sometimes describing frequencies with terms we use every day like, boxy, nasal, honky, really helps because we can identify those sounds in a vocal. Now let me go mix some vocals
Thank you. Very nice, perfect sonic explanation of the human voice in a very sonic way. Hearing is knowledge. I only buy gear from Sweetwater. After a few orders, you know which companies are good or bad. Sweetwater has no peer in customer service and great prices, too.
I used to own a nightclub, subs usually X-over somewhere between 120-150hz. If you're making club music, get rid of anything below 150hz if you don't want to hear it pushing bass bins.
Thanks mate, that was really informative. My muso days are behind me but that information will be really handy for recording voice acting and just general understanding. Cheers!
It was incredibly surprising to find something so simple and digestible being this rare. I wish everyone wasting hours on pointless EQ tutorials could just watch this video. This was so helpful.
Well I just found you. I have the charts with these frequencies all mapped out, but I stumbled across this video and what makes this one so unique from all the others, is you EQ'd your voice through each frequency point. That was, for me, and I'm sure several other newbies, an ah hah moment. Thank you for this. Awesome
This is definitely one of the best tutorials about EQ'ing voice. People need to learn to listen how something affects the sound rather than memorize some arbitrary numbers. Later on you don't even think about the frequencies you just automatically sweep through the areas you hear and boost or attenuate accordingly. I love simple EQ's that do not even give me the exact frequencies. Well, I mean nowadays I only use Fabfilter cause it can do everything I would ever need EQ wise and it's so sleek and easy to use.
You’ve created the default video every (newish or curious) mixer should reference. Well done - would you consider doing a similar eq walkthrough on other popular music elements? Drums, bass, piano, acoustic and electric guitars? Again, DUDE - well done!
Do one on “bass” mixing As a bassist I’ve noticed that the bass driven songs need mixed different than ones with bass as a filler instrument more in the background
Idk vocals are so particular. The distance from the mic, gain from the pre, and vibe of the singer all make a insanely huge difference. A singer can make a slightly different tone and stand 5 inches further away and sound like a completely different person. To me the most difficult and important thing is just getting that "VIBE for the song exactly right. Unless you're working with a world class talent like Chris Cornell or Elvis where all you need to do is turn the mic on
Reference tracks are by far the key in whatever mix you want it to sound like.. reference reference reference.. listen to a song you love and would like to hear… EVERY ALBUM ON EVERY ARTIST have a DIFFERENT TONALITY.. don’t go in blind mixing.. understand what your goal is.. reference it.. don’t ever in your life be a person and try to reach a goal when you don’t even know what the goal is.. if you’re willing to reference (listen) and do the work.. then by god your halfway already there
As a audio engineer i found this video to be one of the best EQ videos I've ever seen he explained it so good even a caveman could do it. Great video simple and to the point .
What about as a trash truck driver? Does your opinion change? What about as a burger flipper? Like if you were a scuba diving instructor specializing in the Australian Great Barrier Reef, would your opinion of this video on EQ be better or worse?
This was the best explanation of eq’ing. I never truly understood it until I came across this video. You got my subscription! I’m about to watch the compression video next
That 800 zone is super important to me on vocals. Scooping a bit of 800 or 1600 seems to help with smoothness on a lot of vocals. But you can’t take out too much!
Interesting! I've made a note that you said 7 to 10K is almost always where the sibilance lies? Cubase 'male ESS' template is set at 4.5K, so nowhere near? Teach me not to use my ears! I assumed if that's the start point, then it's prob 1K either side of it, never thought it would be as high as you've said though?
Genuinely super helpful. Been songwriting, producing and singing for less than a year but your videos have been a real help. Hopefully by next year I can get my sound to where it is in my imagination 😅
TL/DW: 1:43-2:12 contains all the relevant advice you need. Should you train your ear to hear frequencies? Absolutely. Is it beneficial to have a crib sheet that deterministically prescribes how to handle those frequencies? In the short term, perhaps, but it will limit your level of understanding and proficiency in the field quite severely. Whether or not you follow the advice in this video, it will take several years (3-5) to internalize the information presented to your audio cortex in Hertz to the degree that the information can be handled accordingly. It will take several more years to become proficient in treating any elctroacoustically transduced source material appropriately, with accuracy and precision, given its context and on a case by case basis. Learn the rules before you break them. Tools are only truly useful once you understand how, why, and when to use them. Craftsmanship is about knowing your materials. There are no shortcuts in this game, only experience, persistence, and dedication that come from putting in your time. If you think 8-10 years to learn these lessons and develop actionable proficiency is an exaggeration, or you do not have the mental endurance and discipline required to arrive at such a level of proficiency, I would recommend exploring other pursuits. Performing this kind of labor on the creative output of an artist is akin to performing open heart surgery on their soul. The talent level of the artist in question is irrelevant. Consider how many years it takes for a high school graduate to become a board-certified physician or surgeon.Once certified it requires half a lifetime to become a specialist renown in their field, and a lifetime to achieve mastery. Audio engineering is no different. Many people allow overconfidence and ego to delude themselves into thinking that the subjective nature of the medium gives them license to do whatever they want (including taking every short cut to arrive at their perceived professional apex) so long as the client is satisfied with the result, and use the fees they can get away with charging as evidence to justify an overestimation of their competency level.
The Best! This is The Best video on EQ I have watched so far and the most valuable to me and many others that I personally need to watch this as many times as I can and will enjoy each time the same. I am not sure why no one else ever explained this way. Absolutely amazing. Lots of respect and lots of thanks 🙂 ♥️ 🇨🇦
Super dope guide bro! Cause before I 100% was just “turning knobs” 😂 this is such highly educated info, with really great description. Took a lot of notes here. Thanks again!
Man, I love FINALLY hearing someone giving the TLM67 props. We rented one for a session and it was up there being auditioned against my 76' U87 and a fantastic e47C and it won the gig. Now, don't open it up and look at the guts or you'll wonder what you paid for lol. It's like the KM 184 when I looked inside to find there's nothing there compared to my KMi84 but that's SMD for ya!
😂😂😂 originally I had planned on doing all of this on an actual vocal performance, but then I realized it would be a much more compact video if it just happened while I was explaining it instead of talking about a frequency point, and then letting people listen. Thanks for watching man!
@@acousticsound7 1. I was meaning helpful to newcomers because other videos don't explain EQ this way. 2. You are ALWAYS a student to this. You will never have it figured out and you will always learn new things no matter how long you've been doing this
Appreciate this! Been doing this for 2 years now and my ear can now tell what’s going on in my mixes, like whether something feels nasally or boxy, but I never knew where to locate it and it would take me longer than it should’ve to find those frequencies, but thanks to these guidelines I’ll be able to EQ more efficiently! You rock!
You're like the wine connoisseur of EQ. Honestly, jokes aside, you describing the way they sound is invaluable information. It's easy to reply on presets while forgetting that the most important "plug in" you own are your ears. If you learn to trust them, you can create from the most important part of you., your heart. Cheers. Great tutorial.
As a live sound engineer, it’s almost pure guerrilla warfare. On the lower- to middle-grade gigs, you almost never have the opportunity to do anything the “right way”. But in the studio, you’re starting from a much better sonic place, primarily due to the absence of feedback. I spent all my time getting the room to sound good so that I wouldn’t have to fix each channel, but I always had to fix channels anyway. I just didn’t bother TOO much because the show was too demanding for me to worry about tiny fucking details, and besides, everyone’s drunk at most var gigs and in my experience, “the public” really can’t tell the difference between OK and great. Sure, on the big-money gigs you can go crazy and get everything perfect. But at the bars on a 3-band EQ? It is what it is.
Ohh my gawd.. this guy is just awesome... This thing was bothering me for like 3-4 months but now it's just crystal clear to me....😭😭😭😭 Thanks mannn😭❤️
Colt, excellent breakdown! Most appreciative of your 2 piece, visualization/auditory platter!! To see and hear simultaneously is golden. Thank you!! 👊🏽😏
Great video. I've never had it explained that way and I could actually hear each frequency change as you delivered the script. Thank you, I have learnt something today!
I was just watching your other videos and noticed you have Fabfilter Pro Q3 in all . Im looking for a Great EQ and feel this would be my best Option . Would you recommend Fabfilter Q3 ?? and any other Fabfilter Produces ??
This was a great video, you broke down all the frequencies in a simple and understandable way for a newbie like me to understand. Thank you for this video, definitely subscribing to your channel.
Great video and explanation of EQ for vocals. Can't wait to experiment with EQ on my vocals. The DAW I am using allows adjusting EQ but I never knew what would happen when adjusting EQs. Nice job.
Very useful ! This is true ... but on live venue you never know ! It depends on your hearing, how you perceived the sound! 200-500 Hz or between 1-4 kHz can sound completely "different" on a poorly calibrated (tuning) PA system for example ! And then you have to "work" to find the differences between how it should and how it actually sounds ! You know where you need to boost /cut but it doesn't sound good there . some Mixers bass drum can be cut around 300 Hz but others can be 400-470 ! Try replacing two different mixers with the same PA or monitors and cut same frequency on same instrument or vocal ...you will be surprised ! :)
Great one, Colt, I like how you explain the theory of EQ. Before that, I only followed how the tutorials done. Gonna use your knowledge for the next song. Thanks a lot. Keep up the great work!
This is EXCELLENT!!!! ❤ But: "Noi-man! " I am so sorry 🤣 I can't help it! Roflol! it sounds like ur saying Norman w/a classic Boston accent!! Bwahahahahaha!!! 🤣 maybe New Joy-seey? Hahaha! 😂 Plz forgive me? I have Bugs Bunny living in my head! 😅
Chance upon this video.My god it’s just brilliant how adjustments to the frequencies can affect the vocal is being presented so clearly! 👏 👏 👏 😊 Subbed!
Hello, just want to know because I will buy maono pd200x for singing vocals and I am mezzo-soprano.I really don't know how will that mic sound to me but I'd like to ask , whatever happens, the post-processing (mixing) will be able to fix it incase right? I don't like to buy condenser mic considering for our noise environment and my ATR2500 caught all noises, that's why I plan to use dynamic mic now.
Nice, after going through the frequency ranges and their effects, your video would have been more complete, if you would have then started using those on your voice to get a good mix, instead of leaving everything above 100hz flat at 0db.
Totally awesome bro! I needed this tutorial. I have a home studio and am trying to demystify how to get a good vocal sound and mix. Having trouble understanding how to use and edit a compressor on vocals.
So from my understanding it’s all about the artist’s sound and what works for them. Some things should be boosted while others cut but generally all vocals should be should be shelved from 20 -100hz and and low passed from 4k up…? Any thoughts 💭?
All of these frequency points are the same for both singing, and dialogue, hope it helped you!
Very nice explanation thank you very much...do you have a written version of it ?? Could be really useful!!!
Limiter vs clipper should be next
@@essouna That’s a great idea!
