@abrotherinchrist Жыл бұрын
Actually recording myself. It's really hard to write, record, produce, mix and master everything yourself. Also, I sometimes struggle with making decisions in the low mid frequencies (200-500Hz) where it seems just about everything crosses over each other. Also, I find myself getting lost in options in the process and get frustrated from indecision. Doing everything yourself is actually a creativity killer sometimes. It really would help to have a partner to collaborate with. A different set of ears you can trust is invaluable. On a different note, do you ever use frequency following EQs in your mixes to accentuate fundamentals or harmonics, like Melda AutoDynamicEQ or Nectar? Or something like MBassador?

Another thing that makes a huge difference is metering your low end on the master bus. Use a spectral graph plugin (after your limiter!) and reference your low end against other similar tracks low end. Sometimes all you need to do do is boost a kick or bass or sub synth up by a few db with the fader.
@audioglenngineer Жыл бұрын
I’ve been experimenting with low shelfs replacing my high pass filters, because of the reduced phase shift and ring. It’s a pretty great way to clean up the bottom, while adjusting the corner Q to emphasize or deemphasize the low end of the track from the corner resonance of the shelf, similar to a HPF. I find, especially cumulatively, across several tracks, shelving VS high passing can make a large difference, particularly in the high mids. It sounds less digital and tampered with to my ears. It’s a bit more dialing and time, but so far worth it for me. I’ll often crank down the shelf as low as it goes, both in gain and frequency, then raise the frequency up to where I would normally put a HPF. Then I’ll go higher with the Q if I want more slope and corner resonance, or lower for less. Got the idea from the “Are You Listening” videos from IZotope. Mixed a bluegrass tune today with way better results IMO.
@machineagevoodoo2106 Жыл бұрын
you don't need to experiment anymore good sir because you are right = shelves are the better way to go, HP is over emphasized in our culture, and especially producers and mixers new to the game, shouldn't be taught to do it everywhere. They most likely (I know for a fact that they are) will over do it and end up with thin mixes where the body of the mix exists ONLY in a single bassline or sub synth because everything else is frail as shit
@ts4gv Жыл бұрын
if you're tightening a shelf into resonance that's gonna be much less transparent than a HPF imo a gentle shelf, sure whatever but the HPF phase shift on its own isn't gonna be audible

@@ts4gv I’m uncertain what it is I’m hearing with certain digital EQs, usually stock DAW EQs, that has kind of a digital ring in the upper midrange when high passing. That said, I use HPFs all the time - this (comment above) was an experiment I was doing to see if I liked it better. Ended up not being a very practical one, due to the various equipment/time limitations I encounter in my audio work. HPFs rock.

thanks colt! I used the mono-maker a lot on the mixbus, but I changed my approach recently, due to some feedback from a renowned mastering-engineer (zino mikorey). he says: dont use a mono-maker on the mixbus. a mono-maker is a highpass-filter on the side-signal of your mix. so a filter is gradually changing, turning the phase, while the signal goes down the slope. if you put a mono-maker at 150hz, this means, from 300hz to 150hz, the filter will turn the phase to be out of-phase at 150hz, and the lower down you go, it will turn further and further. what does that mean for the "spacialness" of your mix? the ms-encoding/decoding is an adaptiv and substractiv process (L = M + S; R = M - S; M = L + R; S = L - R). this means, if the side-signal is now out of phase at 150hz, the side-signal is now on the wrong side. and this keeps going on down the slope. so you will lose depth in your mix. if you have any side-problems in the lows, you should fix them in the mix. so for example if you have a wide low-synth-bass and you wanna make it more mono in the lows, do it on its channel. same goes for all the other instruments.

Great video ! in my humble opinion the lowcut is more about the headroom of the whole mix since 90 percent of the energy is from 1 to 125 Hz, so that mids and highs can pop more, it's not so much about the reproduction abilities of different speaker systems. Also with 144 dB of dynamic range at 24 bit a low-cut of 12 dB per octave is more of a gentle decrease of volume, so it rather tweaks than cut the lows (a true cut would obviously be a 144 dB per octave filter).

Looking forward to trying out these tricks! Quick question- do you use subharmonic plugins like RBass and LoAir to make your bass guitar have more thickness? I like using those when mixing live on big PA, but I've been doing more broadcast mixing recently and my low end is feeling pretty bloated. Just feels like I might lose some magic without those plugins though. Any thoughts?
@jacobkleinberg8055 Жыл бұрын
Rbass And LoAir are Saturation Plugins, introducing harmonics above the fundamental, thought I would note that just incase because I know there is a large portion of people that believe what Rbass is doing, is increasing the Sub itself in a magical way. I think after something like Rbass etc. some good sculpting in the low mids and the right Two-pole HP could remedy that bloating especially for broadcasting? Sometimes Tape Saturation can be a great way to get the lowend to cut as well.
@Brutuscomedy Жыл бұрын
What's helped me recently is using a new monitor--Yes. I only bought one and mix in mono for the most part.--and utilizing its 80hz high pass option. It's a Presonus Eris E8 XT. I check mixes on a cheap computer speaker setup with a crappy sub but more importantly on Blue Sadie headphones as well. A portable JBL speaker is another tool for checking mixes elsewhere, including outside while walking the city. In terms of plugins, I still like IK Multimedia's Linear Phase EQ for transparently high passing the mix (granted, not turning the linear phase option ON so it's really just a reg EQ) and sometimes adjusting in M/S mode rather than universally, keeping more lows down the middle and shaving from the sides.

I notice that when I high pass on a kick, the volume increases by a few dbs...is that normal or am I using the wrong type of eq? 3. If your speakers don't go down that low, are headphones good for making theses decisions? Thank you
@mixwithjerry Жыл бұрын
I think the peak level increases due to the high pass filter causing a phase shift. Also, there is usually a resonance bump at the frequency directly above your hp filter starting point and this will be brought out more with the steepness of the filter curve.
@ColtCapperrune Жыл бұрын
I’ve not ever used chop shop before, so I can’t speak to its quality. As Jerry mentioned above, it is likely due to a resonance in your filter. I would try several different EQ plug-ins and see if you can find one where this doesn’t happen, or lessen the slope of your high pass. I use a 12 DB per octave, or 18 DB per octave for most things. The steeper the slope, for instance, a 48DB per octave, will likely have more phase, and resonance, then a shallow slope like 12 db per octave. Most certainly headphones are a great way to check low end

Check out Colt's video on limited bandwidth monitoring. If you set the level of the bass guitar in limited bandwidth and then switch to full-range and use a low shelf to adjust the low end of the bass to bring it back into line, you'll find it a lot easier to get the bass to sit right. The mids are the cake (i.e. the mix), the lows and highs are the icing.

the problem with this advice regarding HP is that experienced professionals understand what you mean, and do it already, but people new to this type of work will most likely have sub-par monitoring systems, and listening experience, to judge how to properly HP things and most surely overdo it. Which of course you can hear already in music that is out there. If you have a boomy bedroom, all those cuts aren't going to become apparent before you sweep across 100hz or more, and in reality your mix will become frail and thin. On top of this, most of their source audio is samples, that already have been (lets face it) rehashed and recompressed after being lifted from OTHER sample packs in most cases, and so already hipassed several times. Jeez.

I've been watching all your videos.. could really use some advice Colt .... pretty tight in EQ separate..so now what.. Thank you for your page and time😁

After 20 Years of professional mixing i can say when your low end in the mix doesn't sound good, you can high pass what you want, it will not sound better. I don't know why so much engineers low cut low cut. The best engineers on this planet rarely using low cut. Only if it's really clashing and the most of the time there is no clashing. The only thing what you do with a ton of low cuts is to kill the energy of the instruments.

Be wary on phase shift if you high-pass your bass... oh sorry no Psytrance producers here 🙂

Ikr when he said high-pass the mix bus I was like???? Just came from a baphometrix vid explaining why high-passing the bass elements is usually not the best option bc it'll wreck phase.

Very dangerous advice, especially for beginners and those with poor acoustics in the room. All they will do is make loud bass frequencies even louder (principles of psychoacoustics) and create a poor mix that sounds bad on any good audio system.
