Dynamic EQ - Essential Production and Mixing Tips

  • In this video, I explain what Dynamic EQ is and demonstrate some great ways to use it in a mix. It's an excellent tool to help level out your tracks and make your mix sound more professional and smooth. I show how to use dynamic EQ to level out an acoustic guitar performance to make it fit in the mix better and discuss many other great places to use the technique.
    Dynamic EQ is not the same as multiband compression and I hope by the end of the video you understand the key differences. It can be used to remove resonant peaks in your audio and remove offending frequencies. You can gain a lot more precision than with multiband compression and have a lot more control of the band/filter types used.

      A dynamic EQ is not the same as a three band compressor.
      A dynamic eq lowers the volume of the frequencies you select by a specific threshhold
      A threeband compressor compresses them.

      @@simong8527 Compressors only lower the volume of peaks(loud parts) but increase the volume of quieter parts so you can maintain a consistent volume, not a lower volume. Also, compressors have certain parameters like attack release knee etc. and they have a unique sound and sometimes colouring.

      @@simong8527 yes, a normal compressor by itself lowers the volume of peaks but increases the volume of quieter parts. But a threeband compressor compresses specific bands that you can choose, not the whole audio. And a dynamic eq reduces the volume by a threshold, but its not compression just because they both have a threshold, it just responds to it but then just turns down the volume
