Have you ever had EQ´s looking like this? Here is another thing I´ve learned through the past months along my way to become an audio engineer: As I started out mixing my own songs everyone said "pick a narrow band EQ, boost it about 10db and sweep through the whole frequency range to find out annoying frequencies to then cut." The result were EQ settings you see on top. The problem is: almost every frequency sounds terrible when boosted too much, the result is when you cut them all there is no musical signal left and the mix gets crazy. A better way is to learn to identify annoying frequencies in the mix. Sure this is nothing you can do from the first day on because you don´t know what an annoying frequency actually is. But the more you try the more you´ll find out. Listen to your tracks and compare it with others or even take single parts from your mix and compare with others. Use reference tracks to compare and try to get your sound as close to the reference as possible. The more you do it the more you´ll get an understanding for a well mixed electric guitar for example should sound like. Sometimes it´s not necessary to cut anything. Always listen to the whole mix, when you find something that´s annoying in the whole mix, try to find it. Then solo the track you think it comes from and find it there. Sometimes it helps to solo even single frequency bands and go through the whole spectrum without boosting it, just with a soloed band. This whole process can lead up to a huge discussion. Maybe you can get rid of annoying frequencies by boosting some other frequencies. There is no right or wrong in my humble opinion. Sometimes it´s just kinda trial and error to achieve a good sound and sometimes it happens even by mistake. The truth is: you need to do it. Try things out again and again. They say: "when it sounds good - it is good!" And that´s it :-) What do you think about sweeping through the frequency range with a boosted narrow band? #recording #recordingstudio #mixing #mixengineer #producers #independentartist #homerecording #audioengineer #daw #proq3 #fabfilter #protools #cubase #reaperdaw #studioone #abelton https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn5FF-1sg9k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Most of the time I like to cut kick frequency around 500Hz...Sometime I cut little more than usual....😊 . . . . . . . . . . #Mixing #Fabfilter #ProQ3 #Kick #IAmMixingAndMasteringTracksForYou https://www.instagram.com/p/BsX-QLDBE5U/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vb0y9lxut1dm

Tracking a bit of bass guitar today. Getting some very inspiring tones direct using #baisamp2 and #fabfilterproq3 . I think I might be onboard for tracking the whole album with this #dynamicduo !! - - - - - - - - - #80smusic #bass #bassguitar #biasamp #proq3 #fender #pbass #fenderpbass #drstrings #triplets #protools #avid #studio #recording #recordingstudio (at Round Rock, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7UMSO5HxLa/?igshid=5uh4uz4p8vbc

Pro tip. Find what the EQ does best frequency wise. Spread the boosts across dif harmonic EQs. Only use ONE parameter per EQ where you see fit. Subtract anything with proq3 or a dynamic eq of your choice. Also use harmonic plugins as a way to do this as well. You want a nice low bottom end and clean top end? Use 2 instances of Slate VCC , one neve model and one api. When you start thinking less of murdering a million knobs and just pushing into the areas sonically you know sound good the easier the mix becomes. https://www.instagram.com/p/CF3AsHMFupp/?igshid=7jsf9vnr9c8k

Dynamic EQ explained How to use dynamic EQ

Why use Dynamic EQ - Dynamic EQ explained How to use dynamic EQ. Simply put, dynamic EQ changes the gain of an EQ band dynamically, depending on the level of the input signal. This makes it possible to perform subtle and surgical edits similar to a multi-band compressor, but in a way that's often more intuitive and easier to work with. Its like multiband compression but with the flexibility of an EQ, the trade off is usually the dynamic speed is slower or less flexible due to artifacts that would occur when altering audio amplitude in this way, This can be noted in both Fabfilter ProQ3 and Neutron3 from Izotope

So not long ago I got a hold of 8GB of RAM, fresh from amazon, and installed them . Everything works and all. but it still didn’t perform like I hoped it would. This was how I started June off btw. Either way, all that RAM is no good if I don’t have a good processor to help keep my CPU usage steady. So why buy an old processor and upgrade an old PC? My money is better invested in building a new one, and thats exactly what im gonna start doing in the upcoming months. I’m very excited to see that come to fruition. I’m not sure if should buy speakers before that or after. Hmm. . .

Lately, I’ve been investing a lot of money into this. I’m kinda shocked that Ive spent about over $1000 on software and samples already, and that’s because I want more still smh. After I bought ProQ3, I’ve just kinda gone on a software shopping spree. Now I am a proud owner of FL Studio 20, ValhallaRoom & Delay, Shaperbox2, Serum, ProQ3 and TRacks5. Not to mention about 1000 new splice samples I’ve gotten. Along side with everything that I’ve come to learn in these past 6 months, these have been game changers. Besides dropping all that money and installing RAM, I started off the month trying to apply my new knowledge to old projects. Most notably, Oddessy is looking good. I managed to really improve it from its older project versions as of now, but that that’s the only older track I worked on really. I didn’t take too much time doing that because I got caught up setting up the new PC for usage and producing. It took awhile, but I’ve settled into it pretty snug for now, at least until I upgrade. But after that, I got really in my head and into a writer’s block for a couple of days. It really sucked xc Eventually I got the idea to do a 2 Day 2 Song Challenge to help me overcome it. This was on June 11th - June 12th by the way. Despite not ending up with two fire ass beats, this challenge got me to write one good one. I loved it so much that it’s gonna be on the EP. It’s safe to say that it’s the best track as of now too. It’s not like anything I’ve written either. Its got this like dark glitch trap feel, but at 120 with these deep vocals. After I wrote, it’s given me a sense of direction to take the EP with. I was kinda confused which direction to take with this EP for awhile, that was until I wrote this song. It felt like looking at a blank canvas versus looking at a drawing on a canvas. Here’s what I can take from this: after you’ve got an idea on the paper, you have a point of reference that can be used as a source of inspiration versus looking at nothing. I think that’s what makes writer’s block such a self-induced phenomenon. I decided to take today to sharpen up my mind and do some more studying on FL & production .In hindsight, I’m kinda glad I did. It gave me time to write this and recollect everything. Plus, im pretty tired today. That being said, I think this is a good use of my low energy self. Here’s what I managed to learn today: - Learned how to separate mid & stereo from each other using Fruity Stereo Shaper. I finally can make sounds strictly mono/stereo or even split them now! - Learned about newtone’s capability to pitch correct, pitch bend, and waveform shape vocals. I see that’s it’s mostly good for pitch correction. - Learned about monophonic voice manipulation through Billboard’s stream. Plugins such a Manipulator and Little Astroboy use this to harmonize and customize vocals to greater extents than Newtone. - Learned about sidechaining using Fruity Balance, which is better on my CPU usage and it’s easier than setting up Shaperbox. - Today I also learned that Fruity EQ2 doesn’t display any stereo frequencies. I knew that it didn’t EQ them, but I didn’t know it doesn’t display them. Wow Out of everything I learned today, I think the stereo shaping tip is gonna make the biggest difference in the longrun. It was weird mixing the stereo and mono signals together in one channel. Now that I’m able to separate them, I’ll be able to work on refining my stereo image in greater detail. A close runner up is the use of fruity balance to sidechain. By setting the volume to 0% it allows the initial transients of the drums to ONLY be heard as the ducked instrument creeps up right behind it. This gives the drums a perfect customized pocket to slam into, giving them more presence in the mix. Seeing things from an external point of view, I find myself overthinking things too much, that’s whats hurting me the most. I just gotta be bold with the ideas that I truly vibe with. I can’t get caught up with trying to guess how I will be perceived by others and with thoughts of not being good enough, or being afraid of working on a bad beat. In the words of Ed Sheeran, making music is like opening an outdoors faucet, you’re gonna get some murky water in the beginning. But if you keep going, eventually you’ll get some clean water. Every once in a while, some murky water will come out again, but most of the time it’s gonna be clean. In lesser words, keep on writing. Eventually you’ll get something good. Until tomorrow. . .
