      So, in what group would "Bright" fall into. I've used (and heard) that term being used sometimes. Maybe 5K-9Khz?

    • @AudioUniversity
      @AudioUniversity  3 года назад +11

      I would say bright can be used to describe emphasized high miss and highs. So maybe 1.5 kHz to 9 kHz and perhaps even beyond that. Just remember that it’s all subjective.

    Great video. Personally, I like to divide the hearing spectrum in 7:
    Sub bass 20-55
    bass 55-145
    mid bass 145-385
    mid 385-1035
    high mids 1035-2780
    highs 2780-7500
    air 7500-20000
    These frequencies are calculated so every division is equally spaced. The range of each division is 2,68 octave, wich results in 7 divisions from 20 to 20.000

      and you realize that everybody's hearing is not the same and what is supposedly cut or boosted may not necessarily be that way for every single song? every song is to be treated differently, otherwise if one is to follow these numbers, songs will be messed totally up. you use your ears and reference songs depending on the genre you are working on. nothing in music is set in stone, of course there are rules, and suggestions but rules go out the window at some point. if the song sounds right on radio, videos, commercials, it is right. it may not be how you address it but it sounds professional and clear and punchy, job accomplished.

    I fully agree that speaking in objective terms would be really nice for everybody. In my experience some people mean "everything above 3 kHz is too low volume" when they say that the sound is muddy.
    Also, in many cases sloppy bass is caused by time delay (or group delay) for the low frequency audio. As nearly all real world speakers cause some group delay and delayed low frequency audio, you have to decide how you mix the audio. It might sound better on lower quality gear if you move low frequency stuff ahead of true time to adjust for the group delay in poor quality equipment but then it will sound really weird for high end audio.

      @@AudioUniversity I mean, I'm a mere listener (enthusiast audiophile) and not a musician/audio engineer.
      I was talking about systems (speakers and earphones) which might have like a V sound signature. Or just bass heavy. I think we can tweak the EQ accordingly to get rid of the boomy, boxy, muddy, tinny sounds.
      Cheap speakers usually sound boxy; Cheap earphones tinny, as do some twitters too. And bass heavy earphones muddy.
      I find muddy the hardest to eliminate as I'm not sure which low frequency it is exactly. And lowering it messes with the tightness, punchiness of the bass.
      I checked your EQ video with vowels and I'll continue to check more. But I couldn't hear the vowels in the complex mixes. Gotta get used to it.

      I used to think of “warm” as having mostly to do with low mid frequencies, I’ve learned that it can often be used to mean “smooth through the high frequencies”.
      “Hot” is usually used to describe signal level in my experience, but I’ve also heard it used to describe musicality and tone, but can’t really narrow it down to a definition.

    I prefer that the musicians decide what they should sound like. I recorded my band with an open reel tape deck, 2 microphones placed 10 feet from the amps and drums. The play back is indistinguishable from the live playing. No compression, EQinq, quantization.... it's the playback equipment that is the only factor in playback quality if the recorder and microphones are flat. Flat means natural. The exact sound the band is producing. I have proven this. It's fact, not opinion.

      I think it varies from person to person, as I said in the video. For me, I experience "crunchy" as an excess of energy in the 1.6kHz to 6 kHz range, so that includes a good portion of the 2kHz and 4kHz octave bands. How about you?

    What an outstanding description of frequency. I guess it's ok to differ in the frequency ranges of bass, mids, etc., My opinion on mids changed when I was eq'ing electric guitar back in the good ol' 80's and was surprised the high open E is is at roughly 300Hz (329 Hz fundamental tone) much that I thought that was upper bass.... not really... it is the lower end of midrange.

    My TLM102 sounds really harsh on singing recording in RME babyface profs so what should I do to make it sound soothing?

      Do you have another microphone or preamp? Have you experimented with distance from the mic?

      That’s a good thought! Maybe adjust the positioning of the mic and see if that makes a difference.

      You can certainly reduce the harshness with EQ or compression, but I’d recommend doing what you can during the tracking stage so you don’t have to fix as much in post production.

    I am a hobby sound and lighting engineer. I own a small sound/lighting company to provide systems for live concerts. I also provide DJ and Karaoke services in night clubs and private parties. When playing back pre-recorded music, I need to be able to satisfy a wide range of musical tastes; often playing music from various genres and recorded over decades, with a wide range of sound quality and dynamic range. I am finding myself having to concentrate on modifying the EQ and compression for each individual song, in order to make it sound the best it can, through my system. Question: Is there any processor out there, which utilizes A.I. to make these adjustments, so I don't have to? FYI, I have tried the BBE Sonic Maximizer, which does help with some of the older recordings, but it has no way to automatically analyze the music to make adjustments for individual songs.

    Well not on an EQ but it's 110% sure there's an effect pedal with exactly that lol
    Edit: HA! KNEW IT! There's one called the Mud Giant that has that knob :D

    on the subject of audio, what's going on with your voice? It sounds like its being filtered in a strange way, almost like a noise cancellation plugin was run on it... Its very subtle but hard to unhear and then becomes distracting.

    • @AudioUniversity
      @AudioUniversity  2 года назад

      It’s probably the reverb suppression that I was using before I installed acoustic panels. The room could still use some more. I hope it’s not too distracting in my newer videos.

    My producer friend: if I turn down the lows in the eq, the sound becomes alot more crisp and pronounced with less risk of the track peaking and reducing the quality of the track.
    Me: haha audio peaking go bvvbbvvvvvbvrvbvlrrrb

    Words are meant to communicate. If they fail to communicate what yo mean to another person, they're meaningless, and you might as well be grunting like a caveman.
