- Joel Hilsden outlines the basics of EQ on an analog console using vocals and acoustic guitar as working examples. This is a tutorial for basic EQ principles in a live stage setting, where mic placement and equipment upgrades are not an option.
Joel is available for seminars, workshops, and consulting. For pricing and availability, email JHilsden1@comcast.net
There are a very few who teach others for FREE what they have learned hard. Thank you for your efforts.
in the past 4 years of my learning mixing, may be this is the best video i have watched on youtube. Thankyou Joel for the knowledge. Thankyou almighty.
I've tried watching a lot of tutorials. This is one of the best lessons I've seen. Very clear, understandable, and easy to follow! Thanks so much Joel
Hi Joel. Thank you so much for creating this video. 4 years down the road and this video still serves useful to eager learners like me.
I have just taken over sound in my church and needed some insights of how all these worked. You made it look simple and I'm gonna try it out.
Thank you and god bless ya.
I've been searching for videos to help me with vocals equalizing, and videos for acoustic guitar equalizing. This video hit two birds with one stone. And I'm a Christian as well :) Thank you very much!
You are a great teacher... I can really appreciate how you are able to highlight the understanding of the information delivered... It's quite beautiful actually
Fantastic video. I am the worship leader at my church and I see a lot of room for improvement with our media team. This helps a lot! Hope to see more.
Thank you! I just started learning the sound board at my church and I've watched a bunch of videos on it. Yours is by far the easiest to understand for beginners and you hit all the basics without pushing a specific style.
So far this is the best explaination in layman's terms I've found on EQ. Thank you so much for putting that together.
AAAAH THANK YOU! You simplified EQ for me like no one else could
Thank you for this precise, and clear tuto about EQ! Great teaching approach and personality! All the best to you!
Best "intro to eq" for beginners i've seen. he knows what he's talking about.
Such a humbling tutorial and your brother has an amazing voice.
Some one told me it wasnt a good idea😄😄..that killed me🤣
This was done nicely 👌
Thank you for making this video, brotha. It's intuitive and I needed this lesson
really helpful!!!! very imformative and clearly explained.. just joined the sound team for worship team at church and this was the exact sport of information i was looking for! Thank you very much and God bless YOU!!!
probably the best tutorial i ever watched
I think it would be great if you could create more tutorials. I myself have used mixers all the time, but had never understood the equalizing fully. Thanks to you, it's so much clear now!
Excellant job Joel. When I started running the sound at my church in 1979 I had to learn everything from what few books I could find and by grabbing the soundman from every music group that I could get access to. Of course there was no internet back then. It probably took me two or three years to learn what you have demonstrated here in nine minutes, ha. Keep up this good work this should be helpful to a lot of people.I am retired from running the sound at church (mostly) and I just play on YT.
Joel, thank you so much for your video and your ministry. I am also a sound tech for my church and have struggled to understand the concept of EQ, but your video gives me a better understanding. God bless.
One of the best videos on EQ...thanks a lot! god bless you
U have an incredible gift of teaching. I especially like ur attention to detail and down to earth personality
Joel, I'm french and bilingual. But to much english peoples don't pronounce and articulate enough. Like they have a potato in the mouth. You are awesome, we hear every word and you explain as a pro, quietly and surely. It's probably the best tutorial ever!!! Salut de Montréal, Bravo mon ami.
I found this video and must have clicked mouse bc i wound up about a halfway through the video when you started making adjustments - with a fresh song i figured lets just listen and do what he does (estimating the type of recording I am trying to achieve) - and hells bells g golly jesus if it didn't help build a foundation toward an overall better recording of a song i have recorded multiple ways - sometimes it pays to watch a video and do it from the foundation of your recording - This video is just one of those little setup things i tweak prior to an acoustic guitar vocal recording that is as fundimental as vocal thickening tricks or anything else really - its part of the process now, and it saves me a lot of time throughout the journey.
It's such a wonderful way to teach the EQ basics... Thanks a lot... Greetings from Venezuela.
This guy help me a lot when i watch this back in 2014 and still watching it 2023
Ive been learning about EQ and mastering for my home music production for a while now and this really helped explain a lot by SHOWING it. thanks alot its helped me understand about how you must listen to the music and make it fit
OMG, THANK YOU! I've been trying to find something to help our church sound engineer... God bless her... she's aweful.
Another great way to use a sweep EQ when you don't know which frequencies you should dip is: Turn up the gain for, say, the high mids. Then sweep through the complete spectrum and find a spot where you hate the sound that comes out of the speakers. Then dip the gain below 0 and you should have cleaned up your signal quite nicely. After a while you will eventually learn which frequencies have which effect on a signal.
Thanks! Great simple explicationsteps that took a complex subject and made it relatable and clear to understand the principles. I have a better understanding after viewing. You should create more videos. Great presentation and easy to follow.
Thank you for the advice sir!! You did a great job explaining it, I really appreciate you sharing your wisdom.
Well explained. I now see how useful the EQ tool can be. Thanks!
Just like to say thanks a lot for THE best explanation of EQ ever on you tube ,God bless.
Really fantastic video, really well explained, great information nicely presented. Thank you and God bless!
Thank you for posting this video. I watched it yesterday afternoon and went straight to church and reset the EQ on our lapel mic based on the info you provided. All I can say is "WOW"!! Normally, it's kind of tinny and annoying sounding, but after using the sweepable mid as you described, the same mic was full and rich with plenty of gain before feedback. I would love to see more videos like this from you...professional and informative. THANKS!!
Very structured lessons in this video. Well done.
A very good EQ walkthrough. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you buddy
I will make I take my time next Sunday and blend the vocals and instruments precisely as required
This is the perfect video for acoustic guitar mixing. Thank you

Thank you bro Joel for this clear explanation. 👍
I have the same ministry at my local church and tonight while editing a record of the worship session of last sunday I got a little bit angry about the poor sound on the vocals I am getting out of the mixer. So I popped out YT to find a good video that could help me.
Sadly I do not have a parametric or sweep knob on my mixer neither good microphones however I think the idea is quite well stated and very useful.
God bless you. I think it was no coincidence that I found your video.
Great, Great, Great teaching here in this vid! Keep it up!
