Mid Side EQ Simplified - A Powerful Tool for Stereo Mixing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2024
- In this video, I share a few ways to use Mid-Side EQ to improve your production and mixing. It is important to have a good understanding of Stereo EQ to get the most out of Mid-Side EQ but it can be used by anyone of any ability.
I find that it is a good tool to help me do less damage and be more precise when mixing but it is certainly not essential in most situations. It can be used to create width, depth and space in a mix. Many mixers use this to create a 3D, spatial sound stage.

Words cannot express how incredible a mid/side EQ really is. The amount of difference it's made to my tracks after just 4 minutes of this video is mind blowing. You're doing gods work ♥
*I PRODUCE MUSIC BETTER THAN MICHAEL. MICHAEL IS NOT GOOD.*
@@robinskull man 🤦 , Michael is here to teach Yall things about music Engineering ..... The 🐐 Of RUclips education videos ....
@@robinskull I've listened to your stuff, I have never heard something that horrible. My ears threw up, It's the most lamest thing I've heard in my whole life. I have one advice for you: GIVE UP
@@xLinko that is some harsh Feedback lol
@@robinskull I think your CAPS lock is on?
When people ask if I plan on going to college for music I just send them this channel
one never leaves your tutorials/Videos in doubt nor confusion ,They're brilliant explanations .Thank you
this makes my master sounds so much better after 5 mins into this video. Such a masterpiece and powerful information, thank you for sharing your knowledge
I applied what you did at the start of this video and the clarity my mic is louder and more prestige great in depth info thank you for posting I learned so much from this 🙏
I'm an amateur producer from Thailand. You are absolutely the one I learn from the most among all the YT channels teaching music producing techniques. Thanks for contributing for amateurs (or even the pros) like us! Your explanations are so clear and the tips you've picked are extremely crucial for me, and by the way, everything about your videos are just great!! God Bless You :D
Sawat Dee Kup. I am a producer and live in Thailand 6 months every year. If you want to connect and do music let me know.
Finally, needed a tutorial on this
This dude right here is a well known unknown. Most definitely appreciate your time of examples and clear delivery.
I have heard/learnt about Mid/sideEQ but have ignored for a while. Thanks for an honest and informative session tackling this essential tool.
Man everytime I think I'm getting pretty good at mixing you always show me how little I actually know.
Amazing Introduction! I loved how the sound became a lot more focused after this process, could be used in many creative ways. Thank you
Big thanks as always opening my mind, so interesting how we're doing so much on 2d huds for 3d sound scapes
Underrated comment there! I reckon that there will be big steps forward in spatial representations of sound in DAWs very soon!
@@inthemix I got into 3d recently, got to say I'd love to compromise there. Creating everything is fun too I wanna do an eq visualizer made of different things
@@inthemix can you do video how to mixing Bass Synth
@@inthemix Michael, the advice last in the video by giving a subtle boost on the midrange in side EQ, would you do that together with a boost on the high register (for creating width) or would you just apply one of them at the time?
Was just watching a video where someone said about mid/side and I came straight here to see if you had a video. Always such perfect explanations!
You bring an ease and accessibility to your topics which give me some confidence to give them a go. I had to nod my head when you were talking about removing or adding this through L/R eq would remove too much, or not enough. I've been there. The focusing of the bass, also, really helpful. Thank you.
I loved this video! You just honed in on demystifying the whole Mid/Side thing and although I recently figured all this out, SEEING it being used by you, gave me a confirmation that I was doing it the right way and now I can release any doubts I had. Verification of a technique brings great clarity. Bless Sings. 🙏🤗
Hello! Your tutorials have been big benefit to me! Thank you for making them! 😄
excellent video! I appreciate making the adjustments much bigger than usual so we can actually hear the result of it through youtube! thanks.
I love your concise descriptions and gentle instructive approach. Excellent
m/s eq is awesome! I usually use it to make room for vocal
Your vids are soo educating!!! I use mid/side EQ during mastering but using it like this...I never would have thought!!
I can't believe all this time, I was looking for the answer to making my music sound better and It has been right infront of me all along. DOPE!!
You are the best producer who explains things 👍
Dude, simplifying is the best thing in life. Thank you so much!
What an incredible piece of advice and powerful mastering tool ... thank you very much for sharing knowledge on this
We truly appreciate your tutorials. We've learned from streaky as well as Full Sail and between your channel and Busy Works beats we've got some amazing results here.
You're a natural tutor, thanks for these.

This was the most easy-to-understand tutorial of midside eq. I got it now.
Always good instructions and great explanations. Thanks for sharing your findings. I just wanted to share my appreciation, and I think I talk for everybody when I say, great video content and keep it up. I'm always looking forward to seeing a new instructional video of you, although I'm a self-taught music producer. After a while of self-exploring, I have learned a bunch on your tutorials as well. Thanks again!
Michael i love these tutorials! keep up. you are the best.❤️
This would've saved my first 2 years of mixing.. lol Michael is doing God's work...
I FINALLY UNDERSTAND M/S AFTER TRYING 10 TIMES. THANK YOU
This is the best video from you by far and I know you are good at explaining
Wow what a good vid, just got pro-q and ive learned more in this video than ive had it the past week
Very informative! Thanks for sharing brother 💓
This was incredibly helpful, such a simple explanation that was still articulate! Thank you.
one of the best channels on RUclips, I really mean it. Thank you man.
Man this is like... You're a mind reader, I was just battling with mud in EQ and this is great!!!!!!!!
Since I watched your mastering tutorial videos I started using Ozone Mid/Side EQs and now my songs sound much cleaner and better, I can't wait to use this new tips in my next song. I owe you a % of my royalties :P
Superb -
I am currently recording vocals and guitar in stereo and will give this a try to explore possibilities.
Many thanks
I will definitely apply the last technique, boosting the side at mid spectrum.
You are the best instructor yet!
Probably the most helpful tool in my arsenal. So many things I work with sound great in stereo, but basically cancels itself out in mono. And sometimes, just one side has weird harsh resonance that I need to dampen without making the whole track sound lofi lol
This is so perfect just when I needed to know more bout this then the perfect teacher come through as always , thanks so much 🙏🙏
Thanks for the tips! Had no clue of mid/ side EQ
Thank you so much for sharing such good examples...
You're a great teacher, I'm learning everytime, thanks a lot.
Thank you for sharing Michael, knowledge is power!
Dude youre amazing , thats literally amazing
Very well-scripted presentation. Good job.
I was working & it dawned on me i quite didn't understand this concept at all as i thought i did... & i was praying & crossing my fingers you did a tutorial on this... You are my favorite producer sensei.... The producer community owe you biig time !!🤝🏾🖤🖤🥳🥳🥳🤗🖤🖤...

Good one man. Really add value into my mixing!

Been using multi band compressor to create space for the vocals. Not still sitting. This is crazy🔥
mindblown! thanks for the tips

I finally understand how to think about stereo eq, thanks so much!

IN THE MIX❤️
Loved that vid sir!
5:55 is a very good point, indeed. Surprisingly many songs have even lower bass energy in the side channels.
much cleaner after. great demonstration.
"Welcome back to the channel..."
*pauses video and immediately upvotes
*resumes video
Man I needed this🔥🔥
incredible stuff, again. thanks a lot!
Quality Content🔥🔥❤
N I just wanna sat u looks like Harry osborn from Spiderman 😁
my man back wit it
Mid Side EQ is very magical technigue. I like it
I think this is the best tip to get kicks and bass to the front. Before I used M/S eq, my kicks and basses would always be washed out and never cut through. Now it's just hilariously easy to get them in the font and you don't need to do anything else.
You are really doing a great job. I am your big fan. I have learned a lot from you over the last four years. love ❤️ from india 🇮🇳
Best man on RUclips
Great stuff
this guy's voice is ASMR, so calming
best tutorial. thank you

Insane! Thank you so much!
As always writing a comment to support the channel

Thanks a lot! Very helpful video
Thx ive never used mir side EQ but this will be a nice start on learning to use it.
And thx for the mixing Contest as well
Thanks brother from India
I can't believe I'm here before the discord announcements notification
Great video, thanks!
Very nice. Thank You!
Nice video !
excellent mixing info as always! i had trouble understanding mid side eq concepts for a while but your simplified explanations and demonstrations in a mix make it so easy for me to comprehend. also as a suggestion, maybe you could do a video on how to tune drums/percussion instruments using fl? unless youve already done that, in that case, my bad
YOU DONT NEED TO TUNE DRUMS lol
@@ZERPENT-OF-GOD you CAN though 😜
If there are people that work in FL that cant afford a mid/side eq, in Patcher you can split the signal with the Stereo seperator (preset mid to side) and you can rout that to two instances of parametic eq 2. That way you have a mid eq and a sidr eq.
this is huge thank you
Great stuff 🔥
thank you michael
