Yep, it can be tricky to learn. Remember - listen first and decide if EQ changes are needed at all. If you don't hear anything unpleasant sticking out, you're often best to just leave it alone. I've seen a lot of good projects made worse by folks thinking they need to EQ things.

I realize after EQ, the "sssssss" in the track is getting way stronger than before (even after compresser). Do you have any suggest how to deal with this or any recommendation for Plug-ins? Sadlly Garageband iOS doesn't have "Deesser" :( Thank you in advance and please do make more videos!

Love your vids watch them all time for tips, question , do you keep the visual EQ for all instruments below or at 0? How much db boost can I use? Is there a standard?

@PeteJohnsMusic 2 жыл бұрын

Hey there. So there’s no real “rule” on this. Less is generally more when it comes to cuts and especially boosts, but that being said, if it needs 10dB - give it 10dB!

@theduppykillah 2 жыл бұрын

@@PeteJohnsMusic thanks for reaching very kind. My issue is redlining. I used your FX master trick to EQ the hot red levels down to safe zone once I had them where I liked. I guess my question is how much can I push the drums into the red zone in relation to the other instruments before I bring them back down with the FX. In relation to the analyzer how far can the amplitude lines extend above the zero .? I know that the lower and 50 Hz to 80 Hz to 100 Hz it can be higher because you don’t hear it really the mid zones and the high end seem to be where the danger is

Would just like to ask sir, what’s the number values on the most left part/left column when I turn on the analyzer? When it’s off, they are the same as the most right/right column, they represent the decibel gain in my observation but when I turn it on the left column it becomes a different set of numbers.

@PeteJohnsMusic 3 жыл бұрын

Hey there. So the analyser had the db and the frequency, so maybe it’s the frequency you’re seeing? I haven’t used this in a while to be honest. Maybe ask over at the GarageBand Users Facebook group. studiolivetoday.com/gbu

I saw in a tutorial a while back from another studio guy that said to cut the bass completely out of all non bass instruments..including vocals..except for bass instruments such as bass guitar and the kick drum..what is your take on this..p.s. I’m also looking for a app GarageBand iOS that can show me visually if frequencies are to harshly or bassy before I upload to streaming service’s?…

@PeteJohnsMusic 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah not sure about an app like that? Maybe something to ask about at the GarageBand Users Facebook group? And yes - as mentioned in your other comment, LRC5 or LRC7 would be good to experiment to see if rolling off the bass would work for you. I don’t tend to bother but after that recent Warren Huart video I might experiment with this.

@PeteJohnsMusic 5 жыл бұрын

Great question! I usually leave them pretty much alone, but at times it will cut some frequencies from virtual instruments more to make room for other instruments. For example I was getting a little Tom much low end from an electro piano (virtual) playing chords so I rolled off the low end so it wasn’t competing with the bass for those low notes.
