It really depends. For example when I do orchestral I boost hardly anything, I use very light compression. When doing metal I do very aggressive cuts and boosts with insane compression and limiting. These are great general tips but I could see boosting being valuable in a genre where you are specifically "Creating" sounds.

I was long time using EQ only for the High Pass and Low Pass. Than i became friend with professional industry house producer which has constant releases on labels, decent mastering and everything. And he told me if i want to hear one secret how to rapidly increase quality of my music, i should go more into depth of EQ-ing than just *cutting lows and highs*

Good tips. In addition: You need to take care with low frequency cuts as a way to make room for that which sits at the low frequencies. This is because high pass filters cause a significant phase discrepancy and the signal that is passed though the high pass filter will experience significant degrees of asymmetry distortion that will create problems when compression and/or limiting is applied to control the dynamics of a signal that is much more positive or negative about the centre line. Microphones with high pas filters built in, such as the AKG C7, hand held condenser, have this issue by default. The Neumann KMS 105 and/or Shure beta 58A do not. But the Shure SM7B will severely have this problem, if the filter switches are applied. Anyhow . . . After a signal has been passed through a high pass filter, it is good practice to apply a phase correction filter, to regain signal symmetry. The effect is clearly visible on the track envelope display. It is this phenomenon that causes audio purists to dismiss tone controls on hi-fi equipment and/or be super sparing, at the mixer :-)

Isn't it better to just lower the level of the mix / use dynamics processing in this case ? When I start doing surgery like that I feel I'm doing something wrong but it might be personal 🙂

What would you do with 45 year old cassette rehearsal tapes? These and a couple of reel to reels are the only record of the band we had in the early-mid 70's, and the tape with the best performances has a fridge grinding away in the background, as well as all the hiss and mud. I 'mastered' about an hour and posted it on youtube, but I was out of my depth on this one. The untreated sound was too hard to listen to, but too much cleaning took out too much music. Is this where you need to get in and sculpt something totally different, or just tweak it and live with it. I honestly don't know.

after adding reverb i always lowcut the leads
@FireWalkMusic
2 жыл бұрын
That's one way of doing it. Nothing wrong with that :) However I usually prefer to roll off my leads slightly more gently than the reverb to prevent them from becoming thin. They often need some low mids for warmth and fullness. Having the reverb rolled off separately can be beneficial. Patcher can be very good for this. You can load any reverb plugin inside patcher, and then add an EQ after it, to make fine adjustments to the curves. You can even add a sidechain plugin like lfotool or kickstart2 in there to add some gentle sidechaining to the reverb itself. That's another trick I often use. :)

And now that one comment that will be ignored or deleted. Ma man, sorry for saying this but your KZitem channel is slowly turning into consumer tiktok based channel which provides little to no useful information at all. People can google this in 2 minutes or less. My advice for you is to focus more on music making and production rather than explaining techniques which were explained 1000000 times before. Don't you think that it would be better and wiser to spread knowledge of your productions and music making process while actually doing it. That's the best way for you to pass your knowledge and experience. Making a track, picking sounds (or designing them from scratch), would be far more useful then editing 5- minutes video and promoting your previous videos which explain the same thing over and over again. I rarely write comments on youtube but I had to man. Don't waste your potential on this. 10 EQ tips is not what it takes to release track on armada. Hope you will read this and not get offended or insulted. I really love your music although you don't have that many releases lately. Peace and love

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I welcome all feedback, both negative and positive. :) When I review tracks, I often tell people that they have to embrace the negative feedback. That's what you'll learn the most from. Not the ones who just says what you want to hear. :) I totally understand what you're saying, and I understand the frustration. As a "KZitemr" I have to try and make content that people actually want to watch, and I have to cater to a lot of different people. That can be difficult because there are so many different genres, and people are at different stages when it comes to learning curve. Did you know that the most searched sentence among people who watch FL Studio related content is "FL Studio beginner tutorial" ? Some people are going to be absolute beginners. Some will be somewhere in the middle, and some will be advanced users. Others just want to see genre-specific tutorials, and filter out everything else. I try to cater to everyone. Some videos will be more beginner oriented, and others more oriented towards experienced users, while others are genre specific. As a KZitemr, my main "job" is to get people to watch my videos, and to draw in new viewers and subscribers. I actually spend money to make every single video, and if they don't generate any revenue then I might as well stop making them. Sometimes I lose money on a video, other times I earn money. Fortunately, overall, I still do have a positive balance, all though it's not a lot.. I make mostly trance music myself, and I have plenty of trance related videos on my channel. Unfortunately, trance is a rather obscure genre with a relatively small following compared to more mainstream EDM and such. 1 year ago I made a lengthy video (48 minutes long) about how to make trance like James Dymond, covering those signature basslines, percusison etc. I spent more than 2 weeks making that video. It was actually quite exhausting. It's not just a matter of sitting down and recording something for 50 minutes, and have it sound that sounds exactly like James Dymond. It's actually countless takes and retakes, until you get it right, and then editing it all together. I was sure the video would do very well because it provides great information and value. However, one year later the video only has 28000 views, and right now it's practically dead. Unfortunately, few people search for "trance bassline" compared to how to mix this or that etc. 3 years ago I published a video, showing how I made the top melody cut through in my Abora top 15 uplift track "for the last time", using an advanced sidechaining technique: kzitem.info/news/bejne/l3mAsKqFbGWQn34 That video has been seen 17000 times in 3 years, and it is now also pretty much dead. On average, that's 15 people watching it per day. I wish this wasn't the case because I'd love to show off my production skills and what I love to do, which is trance music for the most part. But I can't only make videos like that because the majority of people crave other videos. So I have to try and cater a little bit to everyone. For example, 4 years ago I made a short and simple video about how the soundgoodizer works: kzitem.info/news/bejne/26Vmk62EbGikmaw It's now seen more than 354.000 times, and it still generates views. Sometimes the title and or thumbnail of a video is not the best, and that causes few views, while the content itself is actually good and should perform well. I'm guilty of taking some older videos that didn't perform well and releasing them again, in a new and updated & modified package, and in many cases, they then actually perform really well. Even though it's basically the same content, except that it's more "clickable"... It's strange how videos with great value, that I expect to perform well ends up underperforming, while basic "filler" videos that was quick to make and I expect not to perform as well end up blowing up. The sad truth is that most KZitemrs have to use some degree of click bait to draw people in, and if you don't do the same then you simply won't get views, and if you don't get views, at some point it's just not worth it. Why spend all your spare time doing something that you lose money on, when you'd rather do something else instead, like work on your own music? :) As you pointed out, my releases are few and long apart these days. There's a reason for that of course. Basically all my spare time is eaten up by this KZitem channel, as well as my mixing and mastering service, providing feedback on tracks etc. Whenever I do have some little time to spare, I'm usually so exhausted that I just can't make music. On top of all that, I also have a full time job. Working 8 hours a day, and often overtime too. So that's why I don't get to work much on my own music unfortunately, which is really sad, because that's of course my one big passion. The one thing I really love doing. :) I've had several polls on this channel in the past, about what content people prefer, and mixing and mastering is always on top of the list. I will definitely try to make more production related content though, because I know that while that might not be the most broadly appealing content (especially not the genre specific stuff) I know that it provides extremely good value for those who DO find it useful. I have some ideas about production related videos, both trance specific and more general videos, but I'd love to hear some specific ideas from you, things that you personally would find helpful? I will definitely put it on my list :)
