I would love a video on calibrating FF proQ or izotope, or just in general. Thankx David
Lack of low end in your master could also just mean that you need to go back to the mix and adjust the bass. After all, aren't problematic masters the fault of mix issues.
Hope I didn't bother.
This guy NEVER misses. If you’ve found this channel, congrats. This is as good as it gets.
One of my clients wanted to go to a local "cheap" Mastering Engineer. First thing he did was Nº1 Mistake, ending up cutting 6 or 8 imaginary resonances on my mixes, then, he had his outboard with fixed settings for the whole 11 songs album (Mistake Nº 8, but on steroids), after he drived the mix about 6dbs with a hardware saturator, no level matching (Mistake Nº10). When he asked me if I liked it, and I suggested level matching, he just said I was "wrong". He had a student in his room, his student will be far better trained subscribing David's channel. No need to said, I ended up mastering myself (Mistake Nº 11)
lolll classic ending
🤣 at lease your brutality honest 💯
I went to a friend's studio and they had a bunch of guys there that were a part of the label they had and I remember them messing my track up so bad.. first they tried to have me record out of tune and key like way out. I couldn't even hold a harmony. I tried to tell the guy then he asked everyone and they were like no its good so I had to press the issue to get him to change the key. He then proceeds to ruin the first step along with several others.. I told another friend about this situation and he said that when guys have in-house engineers and ppl signed to them or their crowd around that they will try to diminish other artists if they sounded better.. idk if that's what was going on but I know I was upset at how the engineers didn't want to follow me like I had no idea wtf was going on
😂 f*cking hell
The ending. 😂😂
When I was teaching audio mixing I used to say: don't struggle finding the problem in solo if you cannot hear it in context! Masking for instance is not always a problem. Complete separation in the mix with almost no masking at all doesn't sound good. There's a place for "beautiful masking" in every mix.
Mixing is about connecting sounds, not separating them, I think.
Nice comment !
Very well said!
@@AlexNiedt That would depend on the genre of music. In edm for instance, which i produce and competely in the box, my mixes need to be super loud - 6 lufs! and the kick and snare need to be separated from the rest of the mix. Everything needs to duck out of the way. In dance music you need to compromise a lot to be at competetative loudness, therefore the m ixes can't be too cluttered and each frequency needs space. Spearation is key in electronic dance music but at the same time blended together with gentle 12b eq curves..
@@jonathanoates1972 I think you've missed the point. Every mix has some degree of masking, and trying to do away with it entirely is a futile effort. As for EDM, as loud as it is, it's often practically a wall of sound, and elements are far from disconnected. Also, consider all the layering done in EDM. That is literally creative, desirable masking.
@@AlexNiedt Hey Alex, great channel btw. No i've not missed anything and i wasn't implying that masking should be eliminated. But there are genres of muisic that require greater separation than others EDM being one of them. When your track is played in a club envirnonmnet with terrible reflections bouncing everywhere you need your mix to be transparant and clear. IN that type of situation if you've not paid attention to your kick and snare and made sure everything is ducked out of the way, it will sound very bad in the space. Especially at the luf levels dance music is produced at. There of course will be some gentle masking going where by you have some cross over points in the spectrum, you can't have razor cut separation, that would sound awful. But in dance music because of the high loudness levels there most certainly needs far more separation than say a down tempo mid bass track produced at 10 - 14 lufs. It's simply the way it is for loud club environment dance music played in those types of spaces. Besides we have to work in a much smaller dynamic range if we want it this loud. There has to be trade offs with your sound design, arrangement, and mix, other wise you simply can't produce loud enough mixes.
"know why you are doing this" - absolutely spot on point
Excellent video! A video about calibration of the spectrum analyzer would be nice!
Yes
Subbing right now with anticipation for this video ha
Yep!
Please video on analyser
At first, as a beginner, I wasn’t sure who to trust on UA-cam, but now I understand this guy really knows his stuff. Straightforward and smart👌
Id love to know more how to deal with unmasking and build up the right way. I love this video. Please do more
Hey David! I've spent my whole life in the studio and I get so much out of being reminded of the basics. My father always use to say, "You're never too experienced to go back to the basics". Thanks for the reminders and all the awesome wisdoms you are taking the time to share. I especially loved your chat with Lij Shaw where you shared your passion for physical health and fitness - A message that needs more attention in this industry. Power to you bro!
Thanks for all you do, man. Maybe this will be just enough to get you a good Italian coffee in LA. Cheers.
Thank you! 😄🙏
+1000 for analyser calibration video!
The Waves API 550B is one of my favorite EQs. It is very flexible and sounds fantastic on a number of instruments and vocals.
It's my favourite workhorse classic EQ as well.
So many great advices, thank you so much for everything David.
That feeling when you realise that what you understand, you don't do and what you do, you don't understand
These are the best videos! Thank you
I can't believe that you've got only 100k with all the information that you spread in such a concise and no bs way, when there are so many music production youtubers that get way higher scores, been there way less early than you, and kinda such tbh. This video is awesome, i realize that i was making a lot of theses mistakes. Thanks.
I suck at clickbait titles and thumbs and YT don't like me
@@mixbustv but we love you David :)
Nice. That’s was a very good “EQing 101” rundown. I can see this video enlightening many young engineers for years to come. Much like your “very famous” videos on loudness did for me! I joke because you always say that but seriously man, those crest factor video led and the one about saturation where you showed the perceived volume get louder while the peak volume on the track meter went down… wow.. those videos blew my mind back then. I can’t thank you enough David for the knowledge and perspective you’ve given me and over the years.
Fantastic video David, thanks for sharing. super looking forwards to any others you do in this series!
David, you are a great teacher. Your experience and honesty are what internet students appreciate, and always comes through.
Cheers!
Always super useful to hear a reminding about the most important EQ rules, thanks.
It would be nice to get videos about how calibrate a spectrum analyzer properly and how to unmask problematic freqs.
THANKS. That's gold👍👆
#1 is a complete game changer for me. Thanks Dave. Cheers
The part about some EQs being too powerful is something I recently discovered about myself. I tend to overdo EQ simply because I can. So, recently I've gone back to the basics, and I put SSL channel strip on every track in my template. If I need EQ on the track, that's what I start with, and I only use another EQ if I can't get what I need with SSL. I've discovered that I usually can get what I need with it.
This may not be the way I'll be working 10 years in the future (who knows?), but it's working well for me at this stage.
Great video!
Calibrate vid - yes PLS!
I think this goes without saying, but I'll say it anyways....
YES to video on masking.
YES to video on calibrating scopes.
YES to anything else you are thinking about. Just YES! 😄
Thank you David! 🙌🏻
Yes, collaboration of analysis and a better understanding of different uses
12 minutes of real help 👍 thanks David!
and another +1000 for the masking / demasking video!
Excellent David. I've unfortunately made these mistakes many times (especially eq'ing in solo), and still do. You're kick drum example -- yup,..been there done that! I'm gonna get better. Thanks again!
Oh man , this is so helpful . I hope that I could know these earlier . Thanks for sharing these ,man !
Every single tip here was an eye-opener. Extremely appreciate the expertise and the meaningful intent behind each EQ concept/mistake.
Soooo many great points. Thanks!
Thank You for this David "Another Honest Genuine Straight To The Point Brillliant Lesson" !!!
So Many Great Tips on Misatakes I Have Made 'For So Long' & I Hope To Make No More With These Lessons In Mind !!!
I Love the guess the frequency then zero the EQ to Help Train Your Ears & EQ a Group first & if needed then correct an individual track & the less You do the better things will be, so simple yet so sensible & obvious, When You Hear These Lessons Taught !!!
I love getting advice from creators of music/ genres outside my own (house / hip hop) because you guys notice and explain stuff I wouldn’t think about otherwise. So sending lots of appreciation.
And in that spirit:
#11 also applies to the other end of the frequency spectrum (especially for bass driven music). For too long I was getting overexcited by boosting the low end because i thought it would give me the thump I wanted. It also resulted in muddy mixes. So the same advice here in reverse - tame that excitement, roll off that bottom end and slowly work it back. Once I learned that, the mix starting actually thumping precisely because there was less mud. It also helped create a better relationship between the kick and bass.
Great vid, I learned a lot.
Thanks David, always the best advice, no-bullshit advice on youtube!
Well said, awesome video!!!
Respect brother! Thank you for your knowledge and delivery
Great stuff, as always. Thanks 😄
thanks for the vid!
First person in years that actually points out the Tilt setting. I’m a roll 3 guy.
EQ Calibration Analyzer video IS A MUST! Please do it!!!
Great content as allways!!! 🤗👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks for sharing the knowledge!
Great presentation, David! A video on frequency masking and also a video on spectrum analyzer calibration would be greatly appreciated.
Amazing, thank you David
Thx, this a valuable video. In fact, as a beginner many of these mistakes quite commonly are being told or being showed. While still very much in the learning, thx to watching your channel I started working much more with those button and knobs eq´s, compressors etc. I much more learned to listen and listen again. Now busy with my own project, could work much faster, but I am so much learning. And loved this video, actually, still making some of these mistakes and it´s very good to get that pointed out from a pro. Especially using eq separate from the mix, I keep being stupid at times, please keep shouting this, it´s about the mix! Guys like me need that ;) Keep making this vids!
This is gold!

You have the best videos ! Very intelligent and to the point . Thanks for sharing .
Nice vid. I had a eq "penny drop" moment when watching a clip with Andy Wallace. From memory he was eqing the 1khz area of a kick drum and he mentioned that he likes to make sure that that area of the kick is hitting the listener at the same level as the 1khz area of the gtrs.
So he really isn't listening to the kick but rather listening to how that portion of the kick is balanced to the same freq area of the gtrs. Makes total sense.
Thanks for the info and the energy brother 🔥🔥🔥
Great on point video man. I have most def made many of these mistakes. Hell even sometimes today still lol. Eq in solo was a big one for me. Even more was not EQ'ing as a default thing. Sometimes leaving the sound alone is the best option, OR eq another sound vs the one you think is the issue.
This are the videos we like and love! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge
Great video David… I’m exciting about calibrate analyzer and masking freq video from you 🔥🔥🔥
Great video! Thanks
+1 for EQ analyzer calibration video.
Great tutorial thanks! The suggestion of the calibration video sounds a really good idea!
bomb video David!
Thanks for the Tips, Your mixing Tips Are always Spot On and Helpful.
I like your open-minded approach, I learned a lot!
Bro, this is gold. I was right in the middle. Doing some things right and others wrong.👍🔥
Great video. I use the guess frequency option all the time.
This video is very informative. Thank you bro!
Really Great.Thanks
You are the best man! Cheers!
Solid advice thanks!
I'd love to see a masking vid
Thanks man! Awesome advice from a pro! Yea I usually eq in Solo which ofcourse is not helping the mix! I have to learn loads but its fun. I am
Happy you said analog eq is way different as digital because sometimes i boost 6-7db with my Warm Audio eqp’s and Still it doesnt sound like a lot while with digital its feels like way more in most cases. Thanks for this awesome vid! Cheers
Great lesson from a Master! Tanks David;-)
Very very helpful 🙏
Thanks!
That was a huge amount of extremely helpful information in such a short video. Cheers
Very informative! Thanks David ✌️
Definitely interested in the EQ Calibration video!
Great! thanks
Solid tips.
THANKS A LOT!
Great video. That tip about the spectrum analyzer alone was an eye-opener. I certainly have been making that mistake.
💯 % David 👍🏻 I found out most of this the hard way 😎
really cool advices there. Already made all of theses mistakes but still useful to brush them up from time to time ^^. Great video
Yes!!! Do an analyser calibrating video!
great tips ! thx mate :)
Im so happy, im at the stage now where i can hear the problem frequencies/whats missing and where they are approximately before i even sweep! :)
love.a video on CALIBRATION! That you !
Good advice 👍🏻👍🏻
To the point, back to the basics video! Nice one, David!
Would really appreciate an analyzer calibration video (why is it needed and how-to).
SUPER FANTASTIC
Nice video. 🔥
It all comes down to this: "The less processing you need to do, the better it sounds."
Thanx Mabradah ...
Yes please make a video on masking
Really cool video!
Bro you’re hair rocks!!! And thanks for the tips I’m new in this world in the digital world
Great content fam
Great video thanks
Great video David!!! Masking and how to calibrate the analizer videos comming soon please!!
This was great. Thanks my man. Just made that mistake on my 2-bus EQ. Recognized it after the fact and then decided to cut things back. Much better now. Now this video confirms it! :-) I might be better off not even adding the EQ on 2-bus...
I like videos like this bro...Bless up !!!!!!
Yes please make an EQ calibration video and how we can apply it, thank you!
Mistakes specifically I want to remember:
#1 - Dont use a narrow Q when looking for resonances (1:31)
#2 - Sweeping to find frequences to cut or boost - try to guess the frequencies first, this trains your ear
#3 - Using too much EQ/trying to solve everything by EQ - overly eq'd material sounds unnaturaleverything
#4 - Dont be scared of boosting, subtractive eq is as useful as additive eq
#5 - Only using parametric eqs, infinite options doesnt mean better, classic eqs have limitations but this makes you be more conscious and selective about the frequency
#6 - Dont low cut or high cut by default, make it a conscious decision, maybe use a low/high shelf
#7 - Try buss eq'ing first before doing solo material
#8 - Way too much top end boosting, our brain thinks anything that is brighter is better) - the magic is in the mids, its always the mids
Was needed
Damn guilty of almost all these. Thank you.
