#EQ #Mixing #HomeStudioCorner
Joe thanks for all the work you‘ve put in over the years, I have huge respect for your activity and for the knowledge you share with us. Thank you! 🙏🏽
I've been thinking about this one, and what I realized is that by cutting frequencies, I actually gain headroom and create more space in the mix for for something else.
Most value of knowledge with least effort from the viewer - and every bit of advice is solid and is timeless. Fantastic job!
I have switched to Studio one 5 professional this week after having used my other daw since 1992. Studio one is running so smooth and fast on my iMac Pro. It's a real pleasure.
Dude what a great channel you have. Please don’t stop making this videos, I’m learning a lot
Hi, Joe. 👋🏿
Hi, Y'All. 👋🏿
Very interesting topic.
Peace, from Gabon 🇬🇦.
Your earlier video I found with the little notes L, LM, M, HM, H frequencies and this video (actually seeing how the EQ is used) WAS PRICELESS!! Just call me clueless, but now I know how to use the EQ. Thank you:)))
Your handwriting btw is beautiful. I can't even write with pencil
My doctor only allows me to use crayons.
Literally thinking the same thing. I felt intimidated 🤣😂🤣
Joe puts my chicken scratch to shame
A whole series on this would be amazing!
This is ridiculously good content. I have been in a lull with wanting to record with just 0 motivation. This has given it back to me. Will be doing some acoustic work this weekend :)
I love your mix!
"They only listen to their own mixes in their studio. *They never listen to good stuff* " 😂😂😂
😂 Yeah I cringed when I heard that in editing. 🤦♂️
@@HomeStudioCorner it's all good, I know you don't mean anything by it, just thought it was pretty funny 🙂
Flag Flag Flag!!!!!!! Criminal statement!!! But true for some. always start with us and them, the great gig in the sky and THEEEEEEN open up the daw.
Sometimes motown or just plain Mj to remember how a tophit sounds like.
I feel personally attacked
Thank you, Joe for a straight and simple explanation of EQ. With all of the “plug-ins” out there, you can get lost in your journey of accomplishing what you originally set out to do...create a song. I’m 70 years young and believe less is more in production. However, as you pointed out, a little work always needs to be done. Genius, Joe. Be well.....Philip C.
This helped me a TON! Bonus points for the Blackwings. Thank you!
Rapidly becomming one of my fave channels this. Top vid. Thanks.
Three minutes in and this dude is on point. Subscribed!
Thanks Joe, awesome video!
PS look up the Daniel Dettweiler mixing course. It's fantastic, and I paid for it....BUT it's not distilled into very digestible parts like yours. He's incredible but stares into your soul to the point where you doubt your very existence lmao! Honestly was worth the money because of his take on mixing something totally different than what you see on YT everyday. Great stuff man. Peace
Thanks mate. I'm frequently searching for better mixing / home recording techniques on youtube but since i found your channel it's very useful & easy to understand 👍👍
Hi Joe many thanks for this gift you gave to us. Great Job and Song
You are an amazing person my man... very helpful to the rest of us... thanks to you i improved my mixes also... im grateful!!!
Beautiful track!❤️🙏 great tutorial as always!
F@ck dude, what a beautiful song! Just checked it out on Tidal after watching this video. You are a great freaking singer man!
Thanks dude. I forgot it was even on Tidal. 😂
Great mixer, teacher, guitar guy and sings too! thanks joe
Thanks Jo you've done it again great Lesson and thank you for spending all the time sharing your knowledge nice work cheers Pete from Tassie the bottom of Australia
Thanks Joe, this was informative and helpful!
I woke up this morning...no, not the beginning of a blues song...first watching the new video of Joe Gilder. Learning, learning, learning...Question: stereo acoustic guitars is recording with two mics?
In this song, yep!
Thank you Joe!
Great tune - sounded amazing right off the bat!
Fantastic handwriting Joe, very nice
Thank you Joe for sharing your gift. Another great video brotha.
👍
Thank you from France !
JG is the best teacher on YT.. BTW can I have your scrap pieces of paper?!?
YES!... I called the "thump" in the guitar, called the frequency it was on and called "dump the mid a little" in the vocal! And all on a crappy pair of earbuds I wear at night in bed!
Grasshopper is learning more and more Sensei! Thanks for all you do man!
Great advices for cutting freq. Whole channel is very interesting and useful. Thanks, man. :)
Thank you for boosting the bad/rough/muddy/hollow frequencies to confirm what we are hearing. Then immediately cutting them to the a level that sounds good. That is the key. The hard part is finding them in the first place. And, as we saw, sometimes it just 1 frequency that gives us trouble, not multiple frequencies. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
another great vid Joe
Thanks bro your the best! God bless you
You are great Joe, i learned a lot viewing your videos. Thanks
Thanks Gustavo.
Great video. Thanks Joe! So much great tips. Would love to see the same for a full band project.
Very deep low end. BIG PUNCHY LOW END. Bump in the lowmids. Those are the things ive lern from you. Thanks joseph! ;)
learn alot and definately watch more your videos....thx alot
Awesome and very informative video! Also, kudos for mentioning Stephen Covey, a true genius
What a breathtaking,hands on Demo,,in,,RealTime,,with Listening.Muting.,,,Joe,,you are snatching an eraser and modelling,,Rare on the field..Thank you n ,,,,spellbound
Fantastic presentation 👏 👌 👍
Thanks as always, Joe. My ears get a little trained today.
Very useful information.
Excellent to have these hands on sessions to improve my skills, thanks mate
👍
Yeah joe is really something else!
I'm actually laughing near the end of this tutorial because I'm a teacher by trade and dude....after watching THOUSANDS of tutorials, someone finally did it perfectly. Period, point-blank (no pun intended) lol Extra points for using Studio One on a Mac. Just for that I'm going to do a DOPE remix with your stems. Man, this was such a pleasure to watch. My next destination is your mixing course. Thanks for sharing and providing actual value in a sea of dumpster fires.
thank you sir for the infos🙏👍👍
I have now watched two or three of your videos today - never heard of you before. Excellent stuff, and makes me feel better about my mixing too. In my mind I pre-empted everything you did, including initially thinking that lo-mid eq in the main guitar could come down even more with a wider band. I always feel like a novice when it comes to mixing, so this really made me feel good. I am on the right track evidently, and definitely keep getting better with every mix I do (except for fluke!). But you're absolutely right about getting the recording as perfect as possible to begin with - something I never manage - particularly with vocals. It used to be because I wasn't warmed up or ready to sing, but I think these days it might actually be my interface. No, I'm not "blaming the tools", it's just that I am using what I know is a decent mic, but I have been using this same old cheap interface that is actually meant for electric guitars. The clarity you manage in your recordings is what I lack to begin with. Will look into it more. I yearn to do less with mixing and for the whole process to become fun again, like it used to be when I didn't really know or care about the sound and mixing. Thank you Joe, great video. Loved the pencil and paper at the beginning too - very alternative and refreshing, not to mention actually relaxing! I will now most certainly subscribe.
Thanks Charles!
I love your writing...
I love your typing. 😊
real handwriting video! subbed!
Thank you Man 👍🏻
Thanks for another great video. Love this track! Great vocals too. I'd add some 1k on vocals also and a little top end.
Top notch handwriting
For some reason I woke up at 5am and I'm watching this video, very helpful
Me too :)
Sheeesh Joe. U make mixing fun again........
😊
My favorite visuals
You are great thank you for this..........20:15 very funny way to learn ........thanks
Well done. I need to spend more time analyzing pro music. Thanks.
That acoustic sounds amazing
Amazinng description love from indian producer 🇮🇳
👋
Beautiful tracks and excellent tutorial, Joe! One question (this time): would a dynamic EQ work as well for taming the 150hz thump in the first guitar?
Same here. Why taking off the frequency all the time if it only bothers in certain moments.
The thump is the resonant frequency of the top plate of the guitar. Cant get around that and all acoustic guitars have it. I use dynamic eq... also it might be good to use multiband compression because the decay on that sound is very quick and fades before the rest of the low mids
Awesome, easy to understand concepts without excessive geek fest techno garble. Thx Joe!
Hey.......i'm learning n heading to Sphere this week. been recording for years but not with software and its fun learn n it will come! Songwriting n recording two dif things! 2022
Another awesome video as usual. Did you do a lot of timing repairs per track and if so, which process did you use? I've watched you and Gregor and i've used Melodyne as Gregor has demonstrated but want to now if there is an easier or better way.. Thanks for all of your stuff.
Very convincing and purposeful EQ moves. I might have missed several of these, particularly that last cut on your vocals, so I definitely have things to learn. I was a bit surprised how narrow (high Q) you made that first cut on the main guitars, vs. how wide you made the same cut on the hard-panned guitars. I am assuming you wanted to preserve as much of the full-bodied sound of the main guitar while surgically removing the woofy-thump?
Loving these videos, Joe.
Can you do a quick video on how to pan my reverbs to the opposite sides from their instrument in Studio One, please?
Guitar panned hard left with it's, bus applied, reverb panned hard right.
I cannot find how to do it. Or have you done one already?
1st I press like, then let's see what u will say !!
Keep up
Thanks!
Same 🤣😂
Same [2]
Gracias
Wow! Those acoustic guitars sound amazing. What technique are you using when you record them? Even when you solo out one track it still sounds so full. Thanks again for the awesome tutorial!
Just to be safe I cut all frequencies, this can actually lower the volume of your signal so I put a gain plugin after the EQ to bring the level back up . . . . this results are very transparent.
Thanks, ®️
Can you do a video sometime about how/why the instruments and vocals in professional mixes sound so bright and present? Is it EQ and a ton of compression? Or is it GIRATS?
That was a really great video! I find myself often carried away trying to hype frequencies these days as I'm working on fairly dense projects, though I used to have a very cut first mentality. Maybe one too many CLA videos! It's been super exciting and all, but man, hearing a super flattering response on acoustics and vocals like this definitely pulls me back to reality a bit. Hyping stuff totally works to get things to pop, but simply removing the bad gets you so much closer to where you want to be in the first place. Well done!
these follow along projects are awesome! I come from a lofi/hiphop production background, do your courses feature anything on sample/drum processing as opposed to recorded instruments? or do you think these lessons translate well/are universal? cheers!
Typically great video, and here's a question about guitars 2-5: Each is a stereo track, panned hard to one side, and slight differences in the left and right parts of the waveforms suggest stereo microphone were used (e.g., bars 15-20 of acoustics 4 & 5) -- if that's all correct, would it not be best to make each track mono to get the track's full sound instead of merely one side of a hard-panned recording?
Just what I wanted to ask. Why are they stereo, and since they are, why are they balanced full left and full right?
I used the same procedure to remove an anoying ringing tone from a snare drum, the other day.
Hi Joe - Thanks for the video. On the thump as you named it from the low end strings of course, the same appears on the other strings but of course at a higher freq. I think eq’g thump (150hz) out removes some of the humanization of you playing and doesn’t add to the harmonics designed by the manufacturer of the guitar. Just my thoughts, interested in feedback as always.
Good video Joe. Wouldn't you use a multi band compressor or a dynamic eq in some of the instances here?
Nah.
2 questions:
1. Most UA-cam audio mixing videos concern studio mixing. I only work on live mixes. Similar concepts apply. But the application is quite different. where can I go to get good advice specifically for live audio mixing?
2. Assuming you have one, in what circumstances would you reach for a good multi-band compressor instead of (or at least before) reaching for an EQ? How would you use them together to best effect?
1. I don't know, sorry. I'm a studio guy.
2. I rarely reach for multiband. And if I do, it's for de-essing or handling too much upper mids on a vocal... or for mastering.
Hi Joe. I know you didn't want to touch on compression in this video but I have a question.
In case like this, especially on the vocals, would you compress it first and then do the EQ to avoid the cut frequencies to be pulled back out by compressor or just EQ and then compress?
the small issue and challenge I have with what you say around 3:44 are that most tracks I listen to will have amazing Mastering on the final article, whereas I will never be able to reach that point in the production stage, and even mix down stage i will get close to what i want, but until it's mastered you just don't really know. it's like the guide track will normally always sound much better than what you're producing at the time, I hope this makes sense. it's like I would need a really good track that got the very best mixdown for that "style" tune. and is ready for mastering, and use that as the guide track, or track to aspire to, so to speak.
Think of mastering as the final paint job on your car.
It wit change the shape of your car but it can make it look more like a car
Joe, please shoot a video just covering how to set the width for an eq curve! It's still black magic for me
Great ! I noticed you've panned the guitars right ? Do you not have mono tracks recorded when doing so? Thank you
Haven't recorded a song yet, just mix tests! I'm getting there, but that area is one I can't seem to improve on?
Ok, what you are doing makes all the sense in the world to get rid of that "thump thump" and get the sound you really want.
But... with real instruments like acoustic guitars and bass guitars like I play, it's possible to re-hone our playing technique, a little bit at least for the recording phase, to get the sound we are looking for.
You could try using a lighter pick or a lighter touch with the pick you do have.
I don't think either approach is better or worse, it's just I'm pointing out another option.
Excellent video though. The Post-It notes are killer! 😁
YOUR FUNNY, HAHA I LIKED WATCHING THIS LESSON (13:40)
your style of writing "H" in how, reminds me of the "F" in the fender
😂 my F's look a lot like Fender's F's too. 😊
Hey Joe, what's the name of this song? I need to hear the full thing now! :)
Without sounding presumptuous, my spontaneous view of this certain piece of music is that four guitars seem a bit of an overkill. Besides that, it results in a muddy sound since as far as I can tell the guitars are playing on much the same area of the fretboard. I would slim down the number of guitars at least one or two. Secondly I was taught years ago not to play in the same frequency range as the vocals. This makes the overall impression of the song sound even muddier. Either way I would go for a female vocalist instead or sing in a higher pitch to avoid that. Or - I would go for capo on at least one of the guitars. As for the guitar playing a melody aim for kind of a back beat. Apart from that, interesting lesson in mixing.
Would you high pass the rhythm guitars as well?
my style is also country with ac guitars and electric guitars..maybe you can teach me how to produce these kind of tracks if i join your course..is it?pleaes confirm..that includes what interfaces and mics to buy and recroding mixing etc..
from india..
Hey Joe just out of curiosity do you think instead of using an eq for that thumb sound it would almost be a bit more transparent to use a dynamic EQ? I don’t mean to sound like I know what I’m doing I’m just curious what the difference would be. Sorry!!
Maybe. I've never used dynamic EQ, but yeah, I'm sure it would be useful here. But I also don't dislike what I'm able to do with plain ol' EQ.
12:54 "Now listen to the guitar". Yes. I listen, and sing along this particular song ua-cam.com/video/UrgpZ0fUixs/v-deo.html (Denis Leary - Asshole (Official Uncensored Version))
I get frustrated only in one area. So I'm going to start asking everyone. How do I get separation dynamics (especially in mids) without being thin in a mix? I seem to be either or? And only seems to be mid focused? If I get mids it's seems non dynamic?
If it’s hip hop you just cut all the bottom and top if it’s melodic and go hard on the bottom with the bass drum n 808 side chain.
👍
