So good. No frills video packed with digestible information. This is a gem of a channel.
Thanks, Robert!
A good teacher is a person makes complex things easy to understand. Thumbs up
I've now looked up 5 videos from this series, and they have all been extremely helpful.
High quality content that you keep publishing regularly, as well as doing so in very mature and calm manner makes me come back to repeat and harden the foundations of my knowledge. Thank you!
Thanks, Ivan! I'm glad you're enjoying the content.
Great system for delivering knowledge in the least time possible, a great method for learning and reviewing..
Best vids for beginner audiophiles!! Keep going 🙌
Wow, the way your explanation is so clear. The diagram is of great help for me since I am visual person. Thank you
i love how this channel is growing quickly and yes you deserve it for making this quality content.
please make some videos on audacity (free and open source audio recording software) thanks l💖 👍
love you guys! so happy I found you! Amazing basics 👌
Very smart and thank you for all the precious informations!
Man I’m constanly amazed by your knowledge and communication skills. Do you get paid for being that nice? So thankful Kyle!
Parametric eq has saved me a few times when I’ve had to get rid of one very tight noise in a mic recording
Excellent tutorial Kyle. EQ has made some great advances from the graphic type. Parametric and dynamic EQ are very powerful. I'm a big fan of analog plug-in emulations of Massive, 1176, LA-2A especially.
Your content is helping me immensely, Thank you!
Happy to hear that!
Just what I needed. I got a subwoofer as a Christmas gift, and it comes with a paremetric eq. Now I know what it does and how to use it. Thank you!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
i've been trying to learn this stuff for ages, and your videos are a god send. I love the way you describe your topic. You make it easier for even idiots like me to be able to understand lol thank you so much!
they’ve had books for years you know 🤨
@@jessihawkins9116 yeah, and I find videos an easier learning experience. What's your problem?
@@jasvvyAU just saying….for all these “ages” the information you’ve been seeking has been in books. 🤔
@@jessihawkins9116 and I don't learn well that way, as I stated, so why would I seek it in books? It's better for me this way.
@@jasvvyAU ok I apologize. I understand now. I didn’t know you were deficient in literacy. I am glad you have finally learned what you have been looking for “ages” through a “video” that someone made by reading a book. 😌
Very informative. Can EQ help someone hear frequencies which they may have lost through age or ear damage? Thereby restore full frequency range hearing?
Hi, I have some queries for Audio reverb- in this case which kind of what kind of filters I need to use it…?
i'm trying tp learn these, thank you!
Thanks for watching! Glad to help.
I’m a beginner and I’m trying to learn how to hear the Hz and different frequencies I clicked a link in one of your videos to do so, and it brought me to a video talking about a speaker I was so confused. I was looking for the ear test and training so that I can hear how to roll off hz and mix my song better.. please help
Just found your channel most and very useful... but I want to find out if you have tutorials on any of the digital mixers, X32 and M32 or others
Thanks, Eric. I don’t have any videos on these consoles yet, but I’d be interested in making some in the future.
Hi do you have video of the difference between passive direct box and 48 v box radial which one is the best? And about effects how can used? Thank you so much very good video
I’m planning to create videos on DI boxes soon! Unfortunately, I don’t have any yet. Which effects are you most interested in learning about?
O good the most I do is for live production Rever delay for vocals and like drums
i need the instrumental at 16:25 , it’s fire lol
What does all pass filter do? In my experience it does nothing.
Wow, just now realizing I don't know what the number behind the Q settings actually means. So in Reaper's EQ, the Q number is representative of octaves. But what about in the next example, where the higher the number the narrower the Q? Does that number still measure octaves? If so, would it still have the same 1 = 1 octave reference point, but in reverse - to where a Q of 0.5 would be two octaves, and a Q of 2 would be half an octave?
Hey Christopher. I don’t yet have a video on this specifically, but it’s a great idea! Thank you.
In the meantime, check out this page: www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-bandwidth.htm
What about analog mixer which only have hi mid low?
It sounds like you’re describing a 3-band EQ with only gain control for each band, with fixed frequency and bandwidth.
@@AudioUniversity Yes.
You are so good. Thank you.
Someone please help me. I’m willing to pay for someone to fix this problem I am having that is driving me up the wall. My audio interface gain knob is turned all the way to zero. But when I strum my guitar or bass. Passive or active, I’ve tried both, it’s border line in the red and almost clipping in the DAW. I’ve also tried two different DAWS. I’ve also tried two different interfaces and same problem…
You can try turning down the output level of your instrument or using a direct box.
How about a graphic eq
Good question! Check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/4V3NMcbBvr4/v-deo.html

Question: are you a teacher? If not please consider, you a natural. Question 2: is hum in Europe on a different freq? We use 50hz acdc I believe
Hum can be electrical frequency dependent. In the US that's 60 Hz and other places that can be 50 Hz.
You could use a single band of a parametric EQ, maybe a notch boosted and sweep till you hear it. To reduce that, then cut it at that point. You might need to edit the Q bandwidth and the center frequency to get your desired cut.
Considering good recording equipment has frequency response as flat as a pool table, I know for a fact, recording music requires no fooling with EQ at all. I have much proof, a direct recording will play back and sound live. No EQ, no compression.
Many would argue that “flatter” isn’t always “better”. That’s especially true when you’re mixing various instruments to fit together and complement one another.
@@AudioUniversity again, if the actual sound of instruments and voices isn't good enough, maybe we should let computers create music and eliminate human musicians? How about glasses that change the colors we see?
