or....you..can..just....turn down the fucking overall EQ gain after all that boosting.>_>wtf is the difference? one is just more straight forward (boosting what sounds good), while the other is like working ass backwards...you'd have to raise the gain of the sample after you subtract shit from it cause it gets quieter anywaysubtracting for me was only about cutting obvious shit off in relation to the other tracks/instruments to "sit" better. Or in the case of subracting a frequency because another simultaneous instrument is using it.in either case, you would only try one or the other method (honestly, i do both, as it's usually done) when hearing the relation to the other sounds/instruments in the mix...why would you mess around with it in solo??vid is retarded

Good video, boosting everything is obviously pointless, flat's just as good then (better 'cause there's no overdrive)

All of that EQing might have been pointless. We won't know anything until we hear it in the track.

I have the same challenges with my recording too and my vocal tracks are not easy to achieve so I use compressors , eq, de essers, and so on..

Is it really as simple as mids, lows, and highs? O _o

I think the audio in this video needs to be mixed properly.

yeah, people who can't hear that ................ wowit is better to DROP elements than to boost elements. THEN you can bring up the overall mix.

My philosophy, start with the right mic for the job, good preamp, good technique. Use your ears. The less eq,ing youll have to do afterwards. If you have to boost 8dB at 6kHz (for instance) you can tell there's something wrong.

Err umm first of all Its better to set the frequency of vocals with all instruments playing. Sometimes adding eq is a better option.

Very good advice, I am that guy who boosts everything and does not get results. I use different eqs in my guitar signal chain to tweak my heavily distorted sound, but I rarely fix anything. That is my problem right there, thank you.

Let me give you the tutorial you came for.Do'sLowcut to remove muddyness in bass and kicks, also to remove the very lows on midfrequency sounds.Bass theory. Take the low-mid band, and boost it in the 100hz range, to make it more tight. (yes, use it instead of the low-band/bass-band.) If using acoustic bass, increase the high-mids, to bring out the strings of the bass.Kick theory. Increase in 200-300hz range to make it sound like a dance kick. If the kick is not punchy enough, raise the high-mids, to give it a punch.Always make sure to replay the kick and bass together, cos they may sound great individually, but together, they may have a horrible mix of frequencies. Always make sure to decide, whether the bass plays the low frequencies, or the kick does. Sometimes, you would use a subbass. (Trap music has a lot of sub bass going on.) Then you wouldn't try to make the kick subby as well, you would make it more punchy, so the bass and kick can sound great together. And sometimes, it's straight the opposite.Basic EQ knowledge:Always make sure to decrease, before you increase. If you gain something, you are adding something, which wasn't in the original recording. If you decrease something, you are just taking something away from the original recording.A very common technique: When trying to find the annoying frequencies of sounds, you wanna decide which band should adjust with the annoying frequencies, and which should adjust the frequencies that you want to stand out. Then you wanna take every single band, and make it narrow. You know, you can make the band master over 500hz of frequencies, but if you make it narrow, you can decrease that to 100hz of frequencies. You wanna make it as narrow as possible, then boost it to the ceiling. (Be careful! You can hurt your ears!) So when you boosted it, you wanna slide it left and right, till you discovered the most annoying frequency. Then you wanna take that band down below 0. Do that with all the ''annoying'' bands.With the good bands, you can increase them a little, but not too much. Every time you increase something, decrease the master volume of the EQ, because whenever you increase something, the overall sound will be louder, not just of the sound itself, but also for the overall track. You can also choose to increase the volume whenever you decrease something in the eq too, tho.Hope this helped guys!

It's not just the frequencies. The whole sample is annoying

Common sense.

Fixed Error

The biggest don't with EQing is doing it isolation without hearing how what your doing sits in the mix.
