How The Pros Use EQ - How To EQ All Instruments and Your Mixes

Very informative and awesome. I had to hit the subscribe button!

You did not talk about wind instruments

My best experiences are with the SSL analog & GML 8200 5 band. You can get so much headroom.

I am not setisfy by your lacture......

finally <3

I wonder if it's difficult to make hard and fast rules, if only he'd clue us in

So (he/you) say you flip the phase on the toms... so you don't flip them back? interesting.. Same on the snare bottom?

"you gotta have the right bottom end" sage advice from Rick

If your using mostly digital eqs like the q10 be careful with boosting you can easily bring unwanted frequencies in. Q and frequency are your friends.

Good generic run down of the topic.

I’m recently doing a hybrid kit: real hihat and snare, the rest are pads. A Tom and a kick will always sound the same so why bother micing them; right! In a small studio situation like mine this is a great approach.

Thank you 🙏 Rick! You Rock!

Rick, you are awesome.

It would be fantastic to have a video like this for classical music, especially symphonic

24dB is the biggest cut and boost of any digital EQ you can think of. apQualizr will do 40dB. I love apQualizr (apQualizr2 is the current version). It's damn near invincible. Put on as many EQ points as you want, put 'em wherever you want, make them as wide or as thin as you want, make the slopes as steep as you want, special kinds of pass filters, harmonic filters, got a built-in analyzer, and that's not to mention all the modulation features it has. Love that thing!

Thank you Rick!

What about singing?

For punch I keep hearing conflicting advice

Some people say go for a scooped mids sound

Others say boost the low mids

Others say boost the high mids.

Very confusing. Your video seems to suggest boosting low , low mid , mid mid and high mid and cutting high treble .

So sadly I’m more confused now.

I play a fender jazz 4 string in a blues rock band. I have a Genz Benz shuttle 9.2 amp and 2 x HD112 Bergantno cabs. At the moment I’m tending to boost the bass a little bit, the high mids and cutting the low mids and the treble . Seems to do a decent job. But still find myself forever tweaking. On the amp there is also a pre amp gain knob and pre amp volume knob and have been playing with those too. Ultimately I’d like to get something close to a John Entwistle sound

Watched this twice. Second time with my note book 👍
