I like that the Podcastage version of KZfaq Shorts are 8 minutes long. So great.

Nice demo, thanks Bandrew! Always need to use those ears!

Really appreciate you tackling this topic! Super topical for me as I try to refine the sound from my mic.

I have been watching a lot of your content and I have to say that there hasn’t been one video I watched that hasn’t been relevant. I just learned how EQ vocals in less than ten minutes. Thanks

You speak so clearly that I will probably use some of your videos in my English as a Second Language class.

Exactly what I needed, thank you!

Awesome tutorial! I'm really glad that you went into the process instead of just giving out a generic EQ preset.

Always good advice here on Podcastage!

This was just now recommended to me, 2 weeks late. :) Thanks for every video you make Bandrew, I appreciate every single one.

Thank you very much for taking the time to properly explain this process. So helpful!!!!!!!!

Cool. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

This was great, thank you.

Not sure if you'll see this but holy hell dude you really helped me learn a lot of stuff when it comes to microphones and audio so thanks!! :)

Nice! I needed to see this. I'll have to make my cuts a bit wider. I've always kept them narrow.

Thanks for sharing, Bandrew.

Wow, this seems much more efficient than going through every frequency, and boosting or lowering it by 1dB, and seeing which one I prefer.

Thank you very much for the video! I am super amateur and just recently started recording myself playing cello. I am a professional and need a good recoding(not super pro) and have been using the zoom h5 as a starting point. Could you please do a similar tip video with string instrument, playing classical music? I feel like cutting in this case is much harder! Thanks a lot!!!

Hey Mr. Podcaststage how should I tackle eqing accaplla arrangements?

Great tutorial as usual. Everything you said is really nice and useful, but there is one unanswered question for beginners - how to get that experience to hear what you want? You, and many others, have been probably just trying out everything and listening to thousands of different recordings to get there and I think there is some knowledge to be shared. Just some thoughts on that, hope this idea will lead you to create another great tutorial for all the beginners out there

Hey Bandrew! Great Video! Quick question: Do you know of a parametric equalizer plugin that will work as an audio filter in OBS on Mac OS?

Hey Bandrew. Thanks for the info. Is the process exactly the same on analogue gear? And also, if getting analogue gear, specifically 500 series modules, do you recommend getting an eq with as many bands as possible? Cheers

Is it an older microphone? Or perhaps Neewer?

Hey man Can u advise on what to do with this problem. My MOTU M2 and Solid State SSL2+ don't have loud enough headphone outputs. Do you recommend a Behringer HA400? I have DT770 80 Ohm. Gonna get DT990's soon 250 ohm. I need more power

I think I understand why you didn't want to name the microphone, but I am very intrigued. I believe it is the Sontronics Podcast Pro but I am really not sure. Would you mind giving me a hint?

Do you do any audio consulting?

I'm new, so how would I EQ for live usage on video calls and such with a USB mic like the yeti or MV7? Are there any great free software for this? Don't really want to shell out for logic pro

👍🏼

What's the best way to add eq to discord? I tried voicemeeter banana and it kept echoing and cutting out

So appreciate this, Bandrew! This is a manageable and approachable tutorial, and it will definitely help me as I keep doing my career podcast. Thanks, as always. ✅ Fun ✅ Interesting ✅ Helpful --Randy, host of The Work With Purpose Podcast

Do you know of any affordable audio interfaces that allow for such a detailed EQ in hardware/saved on the device itself? Obviously, there is no post-production when live streaming and the fewer software plug-ins/apps are required, the better. The ones (more expensive) I know only have high/mid/low controls which often even make the sound worse.

hmmm when do you use a low pass?

Would you use a small snippet like this to eq and entire podcast episode?

I’d love to see you EQ my voice. It’s well beyond the capabilities I have and I expect the majority would struggle 😱

I think they call this grading right? My problem is I hear so many "whistles" when I boost single frequencies to only 9db. I'm afraid I'll cut too much. I'm actually having problems with my mic recordings having a sound like....like I was speaking into a tin can. I can't decide if it's my ears or something else. I might send it to the BSP.

Give podcastage a cookie!

My EQ is high pass at 72 and low pass just over 12k. I can't hear past 13.5 and my voice really doesn't register past 10. I think I could tweak a little more, but no one really cares on zoom...

Wow. I'm truly intrigued. I think I understand why you choose not to name this mic. But could you give at least a hint where that mic was made? :) P.S.: will you make the review for this particular mic? :D P.P.S: Btw, thank you for all your knowledge. I appreciate that.

Lol I thought it sounded worse after the eq. I guess it truly is subjective. I usually go to a boosted low end to get that radio sound and then I'll reduce the frequency with sibilance (my mic is the rode nt2a with a low pass filter and compression pre applied which gives a realtiveley flat response)

Is the mic you don't like that lewitt mic right in front of you? 🤣

Holy Smokes! What is an EQ?

I am sure, it is the Audio Technica BP40

Kinda getting a Zoom zdm-1 vibe for some reason

Nobody has managed to explain with any clarity what an “offending” frequency is, though I think a BAndrew’s is one of the better descriptions out there. That said, when you sweep anything at levels like 12db, everything sounds horrible, so I’m of the opinion that this method is not the silver bullet it is so often portrayed to be. I think one of the better techniques that compliments any technique is that of using a known, professionally mastered sample as a reference.

Any video where a box doesn't get thrown is a waste

He does not want to name this mike he doesn't like how its mids spike his voice with it is not the same he shivers hearing this mike's name he doesn't like it, not one bit he thinks this mike is really shit. (The "I do not want to name.." part just reminded me of John Oliver and Ted Cruz for some reason :P)

I understand nothing.

NO! Buy every single microphone!

Are you listening back through headphones worn over your hat?!
