Mid Side EQ Simplified - A Powerful Tool for Stereo Mixing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 чер 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 UA-cam 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
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.
This dude right here is a well known unknown. Most definitely appreciate your time of examples and clear delivery.
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.
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 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. 🙏🤗
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?
m/s eq is awesome! I usually use it to make room for vocal
I have heard/learnt about Mid/sideEQ but have ignored for a while. Thanks for an honest and informative session tackling this essential tool.
Hello! Your tutorials have been big benefit to me! Thank you for making them! 😄
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!
Amazing Introduction! I loved how the sound became a lot more focused after this process, could be used in many creative ways. Thank you
Man everytime I think I'm getting pretty good at mixing you always show me how little I actually know.
Your vids are soo educating!!! I use mid/side EQ during mastering but using it like this...I never would have thought!!
Finally, needed a tutorial on this
excellent video! I appreciate making the adjustments much bigger than usual so we can actually hear the result of it through youtube! thanks.
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!!
I love your concise descriptions and gentle instructive approach. Excellent
You're a natural tutor, thanks for these.
"Welcome back to the channel..."

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
Its fun iv bn watchn mid/side vidz for 3months now ...now i understand ...iv found out that in music u must not worry your self too much if u dnt understand something ...it simply mean that u not on that level yet ...keep on perfecting what u know ...few weekx or months u suddenly understand ...bt dnt dnt ever stop to be curios and for and get and insight of what to come ...thank u Sir for this info now im confindent to use mid side processing...thanx
I FINALLY UNDERSTAND M/S AFTER TRYING 10 TIMES. THANK YOU
You are the best producer who explains things 👍
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.
This was the most easy-to-understand tutorial of midside eq. I got it now.
5:55 is a very good point, indeed. Surprisingly many songs have even lower bass energy in the side channels.
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
I will definitely apply the last technique, boosting the side at mid spectrum.
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
Man this is like... You're a mind reader, I was just battling with mud in EQ and this is great!!!!!!!!
Superb -
I am currently recording vocals and guitar in stereo and will give this a try to explore possibilities.
Many thanks
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!
This would've saved my first 2 years of mixing.. lol Michael is doing God's work...
BEST CHANNEL FOR PRODUCERS!
Wow what a good vid, just got pro-q and ive learned more in this video than ive had it the past week
This was incredibly helpful, such a simple explanation that was still articulate! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing Michael, knowledge is power!
Michael i love these tutorials! keep up. you are the best.❤️
Thank you so much for sharing such good examples...
This is the best video from you by far and I know you are good at explaining
mindblown! thanks for the tips
Dude youre amazing , thats literally amazing
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 !!🤝🏾🖤🖤🥳🥳🥳🤗🖤🖤...
Very informative! Thanks for sharing brother 💓
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're a great teacher, I'm learning everytime, thanks a lot.
Man I needed this🔥🔥
Thanks for the tips! Had no clue of mid/ side EQ
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.
my man back wit it
You are the best instructor yet!
much cleaner after. great demonstration.
one of the best channels on UA-cam, I really mean it. Thank you man.
I can't believe I'm here before the discord announcements notification
Best man on UA-cam
