Yes! Don't listen to videos that give you specific "tricks", listen to people who teach you how to THINK about the concepts you're not confident about. Great channel

You know what's crazy about this? I've watched quite a few videos of EQ lessons, maybe 50+ over the past 5 years in order to try and keep improving and this particular one probably was the most comprehensive and helpful one of them all. Thank you Julian that was a great break down.

After 50 Years Engineerning and Mixing in Nashville and Muscle Shoals Studios l really appreciate your clear explanations and wisdom beyond your years.

The best, comprehensible EQ-ing video ive seen in a long while.
It takes a lot of time to actually become confident with equing, but two principles that have helped me are:
1. Listen unbiasedly.
Does what youre doing actually sound good? (Also in the context of musical applications)
If not- stop doing it
2. Repeat step one and start LISTENING.
What does your rcording actually need to become better?
Listen to everything with fresh ears and if you end up making changes, compare it with the original and stop focusing on your ego

Just realized I've been mindlessly slapping on an EQ curve for a while now. Many thanks for this knowledge.

Good advice. If I can add something of my own: don't mix vocals (or anything) soloed. Listening to it soloed can be useful, but don't EQ or change things while it's in isolation because it will almost never sound right in the mix when you EQ it solo. Even frequencies that sound awful solo, can sometimes complement a mix in weird ways.

Mic placement. Lo cut. That's about it. If anything I might add some midrange and a touch of treble, if a voice has to poke through a dense mix. I'm glad you made this video. You Tube is full of people who know nothing but repeat false ideas, so hopefully some of those viewers will watch this and have a better view.

Sound engineer here for over 40 years, and this video is one of the better tutorials to get straight to the WHY and WHEN, great job. Julian basically, without stating it, emphasized the GMPW method over the EQ method... that's---good mics placed well. Then season to tase and don't overdo it.

Good ol' "smiley face" eq still around 🤣🤣 as an "old dog" live and recording engineer, the best tip I am able to pass on to newbs is to try to stick to subtractive eq and bracketing. Aloha Julian! Love your work!

This has to be the BEST dialogue-EQ tutorial I have come across. Fantastic work!

That point at :30 is what everyone needs to know! It's so true. There is no 1 EQ that works for every voice, every mic, every preamp, every room (boxy or not), there's no 1 magic formula. Great points as always! What works on them may not work on you, and works on you may not work on them. You have to go through it methodically and develop what works for you. Great points!!

This is definitely not a rant. It's pure logical, real-world, audibly observable good advice. I have terrible hearing, but I know when a voice sounds appealing rather than irritating. All of your examples point out why. This is super helpful. Thank you so much for sharing what you know. You've removed a bit of my confusion.

I’ve just learned more about EQ in the last 10 minutes than I have done in the last decade. What a video!

The way hearing works the pinnae around our ears create various peaks and notches that occur above about 1.6 K depending on where a sound source is located and we actually use those to determine where a sound is. So that might help explain why we’re not super sensitive to notches at high frequencies, because they are there all of the time anyway, from all of the interference patterns that already exist due to reflections, and the shape of our ears and head.

As a singer-songwriter that is now on youtube and no longer goes to a studio for a professional recording, I now manage my own music at home. I have no training in sound frequencies and have been struggling to learn on my own with different softwares. I have never really understood the explanations I have seen. Your video was easy to understand and with your demonstration & explanation of each frequency really has helped me learn what to look for in my home settings. Thank you for sharing your input, as a beginner, you have saved me a lot of frustration & a lot of time. Peace ✌🏽 rock on . Thanks 🙏🏽

Well done! Thank you for your clarity.

Thanks for sharing. The tips are spot on!

That was very helpful. My problem is so many things sound OK to me. And then you have all these audio snobs and self-appointed experts who have OPINIONS. If it sounds bad, I know, and can fix it to a degree. But deciding what sounds "right" is so much spaghetti on the wall. Could be so many different kinds of OK, but in the end you have to make a decision and live with it. I have the same problem judging visual things, like photography. I know if I like it, but what is good and bad to others is a mystery.

As a sound engineer with about 30 years of experience, I can say that your advice here is dead on. Thanks for sharing.
