10 minute video on subtractive equalizing:

check this video out; ya I want the plugin too but I cant afford it, I just liked the way this tried and true info was seamlessly presented:

[NoOnesFang13]

that was a great video i learned alot from it thanks

[TwilightOdyssey]

Very good video for Mixing 101. Nice find!

[TwilightOdyssey]

That EQ is totally worth 150 Euro.

[everdrone]

it is a nice eq, I like my reaper reaEQ for now - it is the same format really, and I usually have two rhythym guitar tracks panned hard right/left, so I am not sure if the spatial eq would be of much benefit to me. I am using the free trial version of this expensive plugin so I will see if it grows on me.

I am still amazed at the value of ozone 5 and toontrack superior 2.3 and voxango voxformer - really happy with those! not as happy with my ezmix2 purchase tho, too much of a secret black box, but it does the trick! I did a free workshop at sam ash, it helped too, I plan to go to more of them and maybe the GC workshops.

M-S processing is a key ingredient to getting your balanced mix's overall dynamic levels tweaked without having to resort to over-compression.

For EQ, I like using Cubase's Studio EQ for the precise stuff and UA Pultec's for warmth and dirt.

Wow, lots of info. Never thought about eq on l and r versus middle, that was wild. Im going to try and steal his initial bass drum/bass guitar eq trick, and leave the rest up to the pros! He appeared (probably for the sake of the instructional video format) to mix a bit with his eyes, which never really works out for me. But at his level he can probably verify what he's seeing with his ears.

whoa, cool! I have not wrapped my head around this concept yet, luckily there is tons of info on this stuff out there. I just have been leaving my bassguitar panned center and pan guitar tracks hardright and hardleft. never left guitar tracks in the center. Cool EQs there! I see your EQs do as much or more than this EQ. especially for warmth.

right on! I was doing that stuff just experimenting but I did not know it was a clinical practice. Also I did not know the industry standard type stuff like leaving the 200 hz stuff alone and not boosting that, and never high passing the bass instruments. I gotta leave the rest to the pros for nowz, but I need to stop playing hookey on the mixing 101 class

I've got a really bad EQ gas now... all of their products seem to be really nice. There's one Finnish guy that develops plug-ins for them, I see. That's cool.

thanks brutha, I like the looks of that voxango one I will have to try it

[innerdreamrecords.co]

What a cool EQ! Thanks for posting.

I have the entire MeldaProductions set. It's amazing. Great video. One small problem though. Removing that bass frequency at only the center means that the mix is no longer as mono compatible, meaning that that important frequency will get masked if the song got transmitted over AM radio or something.

Excellent point, sir!

thanks for the voxango recommendation, I tried it out and bought it. I think it is amazeballz!! I have voxango voxformer I bought 4 years ago for vocals which is great for vocals, and they allow free lifetime plugin updates too. Finally I can see what frequencies that my instruments really like and compete for. check it out, mixing is like an audio microscope now, each color is for 1) bassguitar 2) bassdrum 3) guitar:




here is the song I remixed http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11638369

edit: still not happy with the way my fuzz pedal sounds through the tech 21 oxford; that pedal combo was just not meant to be

With that you can mimic the eq curve of an existing isolated wav or full song mix, right? I tried it with the trial version a long time ago (it would only analyze) but since I used a different eq to match, it didn't sound like the guitar sound I was trying to mimic. Probably works better if you use the full version. I think I was trying to mimic fight fire with fire's into riff.

[everdrone]

right on, that metallica song is worthy of trying out software to emulate

not sure if it has it, my ozone 5 might have it too? funny how stuff like that seems so complicated to do but netertheless then I end up fiddling with it till it becomes a somewhat useful function for mixes
