5 years later i’m back in recording and your tutorials are a boon to refresh my memory and learning! Thanks for what you do brother ❤ love the track too 😊

Thanks for the great video Pete

Wow, always a gem here...thanks!

Thanks much for that tutorial my dude! Been staring at this EQ just stuck on stupid. Feel confident enough now to use it and not destroy a mix.

Very helpful, thanks Pete!

A new subscriber, I thoroughly enjoyed that and looking forward to using it on a current project. Thanks.

Wonderful EQ & Wonderful video - Thanks!

Great tutorial! Told me exactly what I needed to know! Thanks

Great job! Soo instructive. Got the waves Puightec for years and now I realised what I can do with it!! Thanks for sharing Pete!!

that was very helpful well done and I like the no nonsense, straight to the point approach. cheers

Hello, very helpful video in learning how to navigate this EQ. Wonderfully explained!

if you send a white noise through a pultec with cut and boost active and a spectrum analyst you see what this pultec magic trick is ;) it creates a low boost and a mid low cut. strangely enough the 20 Hz boost and cut result in a 50-80 Hz boost and a 125-200 Hz cut which usually is a nice trick in stock eq's to create a similar punchy effect. Regardless, the pultec also generates a subtle harmonic saturation to get that slight extra richness in sound.

Great video with lots of tips! Thanks!

awesome explainations man... thanks very much

Love the mix Bro!

Just found this, fantastic demo of what Pultecs can do and how to use them, kudos!

Great video. Thanks!

great video! Thank you!

Big thanks for this video, Pete. Was searching for a good vid on the Pultec and this was by far the best. :-)

Dude thank you so much! Great vid!

So I just saw this video last night. Immediately bought the plugins from Waves and put them on the guitar track in my current mix. WOW!! Made all the difference!! Love the EQ tone with these! Thanks for the vid! 4 years old! LOL

Great tutorial Pete!!! Now I know how to use it.

I love my Pultec for the drum bus low end processing, nothing beats it there!

Fantastic video and explanation. I got this EQ recently from Waves and I absolutely love it. Definitely learnt a few more things about it in this video though! Great job!

Best Pultec EQ tutorial ever. Thanks dude!

Appreciate the video!

Taught me what I didnt know, Pete. Thanks!

Sounds very good. Thank you for doing this tutorial. Much appreciated.

Soooo coool thank you !!!

your tutorials are great man! like the whole style.

Glad I came across you - great teacher!

Great video and I love that tune, definitely going to check out the artist

Such a great video, thank you so much! I've subscribed!

Yes, Sir! Learning!

Great video Pete! Thank you!

Outstanding trick. Just used this on a DnB mix on the synth bass and the whole track came alive.

Great Video..fully explained the quirks of the Pultecs.

Thanks Pete

Great tutorial, just got the Acustica Audio version in the sale 👌🏻

Great job. I own these but haven't used them much. Will dive in now. Thanks.

Thanks for this great video! Now I know how to use the Pultec on my guitar tracks!

I've tried multiple times to drag the Pultecs onto a session but always directly to an instrument track and never was happy with them.. Thankyou for the tutorial !! I finally dropped them onto a buss and wow that's where they shine :) Really can do subtle magic with them in mastering as well..

Great tutorial man!!!

Man that was awesome I do HipHop and this was very informative thank you for the video I just subbed

Great videoes and teaching Pete.✌️

Great video! I got a bunch of stuff like this with the IK Multimedia Total Studio MAX bundle and didn't really know where to start so I put them on the back burner ... until now. I stumbled over this video for other reasons, recognizing the Pultec name. And the info in this video translates very well to the IK Multimedia version. And ... everything just sounds morer betterer haha! It's hard to pinpoint but do my ears like it? YES, THEY LOVE IT! And there is a lot of difference when you exaggerate so you can be as subtle as you like or totally over board. I saw some other classics when I searched thís channel ... very good! Thankz for your work! :D

Really great video Pete! The audio examples demonstrate what a thousand words could not. Awesome! Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you!

Great job explaining this. Thank you.

Thank you so much!!! I love Pultec. Dont know how I realized this Plug just about now...

Very helpful! Thank you for this

great tutor, thank you!

Been scratching my head trying to figure out Pultecs...this helps!

great again, keep up the good work!! greetings from germany

Great EQs and a super presentation on your part, Pete.... Thumbs up!

Great!

Dude used your techniques on my drum bus and it made them CRUSH in the best way

Just bought the warm audio EQP. Using this video to learn it.

Thanks Pete!

Great Videos young man!

Nice

broooooooo you killed that guitar mix.

thanks !!! this is wonderfull save my life ! i'm from Brazil thank you so mutch!!

Cheers. Nice drum sound too :)

Thank you, Pete. Very helpful and still relevant with the advent of LUNA.

Lol back on this a year later, My mastering now comprises of the PULTEC 2A and the 5A and that's it. Happy to supply a file for comparison. I use Mixbus which really helps.☺

DOH I got that a bit wrong them. Cheers for this and it's very subtle but worth it.

My smile matched yours at the same time when you cranked that 10k :)) Wonderful EQ and presentation. Another favourite of mine is EQF eq by Softube, very versatile.

A Life Changing EQ!

Fire

Wonderfully harmonic.

I've never actually said something was "glorious" in a serious way before, but now I'm laughing bc that AKG BX Spring Reverb really is stellar.. also, great job on the insight & content - new subscriber!

Thanks.

Great video & explanation on the Pultecs, just wondering what VirtualMixR stands for on each of your channels as it looks like you’re using Pultec on your busses instead of each individual tracks/channels. Tks.

The Softube pultec eq is the best 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Just kidding Great video. THANKS

Great video - I still don't understand though if you're boosting 4 and cutting 3.5, isn't that the same as just boosting 0.5?

Probably doesn't need hammered in anymore at this point, but this was extremely helpful. Am subscribing in case you do come back. Thank you!

Hi, great tutorial. I am wondering why you would boost say 3db and cut 2db instead of just boosting 1db only?

Thanks for making this hot

I use the sonimus son eq. which is another emulation of pultec eq but it have emulation from API550 in the mid band. And is exactly like you say it doesnt matter what company the important is the concept. Matter fact I did 2 mixes 1 with fabfilter pro eq and psp classic q another one with sonimus son eq on drums plus luftikus (maag clone) and the S1 stock eq on the rest. Guess what...the client picked the one with the free plugins😂 So with that said , Id learn is not how expensive the plugins are ..rather the mind behind everything. With the free plugins I was having some kind of restriction in regards of frequency manipulation. Then I tried the pultec trick with waves puigtec and I honestly prefer the sonimus son eq. Sounded cleaner plus I have more control do to the HPF and LPF. gREAT VIDEO man...youve been added to my list of tips next to Graham ,Pensado and Gilder.👍🏾

Great video! What software are you using to record your screen, mic, and music at the same time? Telestream Screenflow?

I am not sure that on the Pultec, the numbers match with the dbs.. thanks for the video !

if we have boosted 8db on some particular frequency and attenuate 7db then we have only gained 1 db on that frequency?

why do we need attenuate that frequency if we have first boosted by using boost knob?

i love to use pultec on vocals...softube version

do you use it on vocals too?

That's a great recording, was that done in your studio?

Really interesting ... I would have never thought of doing that sooo low. [20 hz] Never tried it too. Love pultecs, so I am gonna try your technique :-) See what the results are in my studio. Thanks for the vid, thumbs up from me.

Love that electric guitar tone! Mind sharing guitar/amp/cab/etc?

Great vid! Just ordered a UAD Satellite and it comes with these (from what I understand). Liked/Sub'd

Great video! May I ask which DAW is that? Thanks!!

This is really helpful. Thanks Pete. I will have more confidence now using the Pultecs. Help me out with one thing: When boosting 20 Hz or 30 Hz... I would think this requires a high end sub to know what you're doing. However. I can hear good stuff happening on my monitors (rated to go down only to 40Hz) and with or without my basic sub engaged. Typically, to be safe, I'm rolling my mixes off around 35 Hz. Do you HPF your drumbus and/or your 2-buss above where you boost your Pultec (i.e. HPF at 30 and still boost the Pultec at 20Hz?). Can you clarify the apparent clash here, regarding your approach?

Damn, I think I may have to get rid of my girl and get me a couple of these UADs because I am overly excited. These clearly are top-shelf plugins as compared with other brands which I shall not mention. Good tutorial, excellent production gems. Thank you brother for making it plain.

why would you boost 3db but then attenuate 2db ? why not just boost 1db to begin with instead of having to cut the 2db out of the 3 ? sorry if this is a stupid question im just trying to understand .

It's crazy because even when the Low Frequency is set to 20, I can still hear the difference easily, even though my headphones don't really go that low.

Is that VST or Analog?

Pete, this was a great video. I have a much better handle on Pultecs now. Here's my thing at the moment, in terms of a plugin. I have the Puigtec set from Waves. Got it on a deal. And I'm just learning to use vintage EQs (hardware and software.) Prior to that, I was looking at the PSP NobleQ. Now the PSP is on sale for 20 bucks, and hard to pass up. Great features, but I'm not even using what I have. My real question is, at least in terms of the mid range that the PSP provides in one plugin, can I not accomplish that or something similar with both Pultecs (the Puigtecs)? I think what you did with the guitars in the last part of this video, pretty much answers it for me. If my thinking on this is right. Btw, I do hope someday to have a Stam Audio clone, which does have a mid-range, and a few other features. I don't think I want to be in the box for everything. But I digress. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

This would have been a great video on the Pultecs if he would have noticed the big red light that UAD put on the plugin so the plugin can be bypassed without the loud click and delay that the Studio 1 bypass button makes. It makes it harder to notice what it's doing when you have the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard in between the two sounds you're comparing.

Very good Pete!,though I was noticing that switching either EQ in or out/bypass,produced a noticeable glitch like a dropout almost? Is this an S1 thing? I suppose it was really noticed,as I need a new Daw now with the gibson/cakewalk/SONAR bust up-and for me SONAR X1,2,3,and Plat. never had that plugin on/off glitch almost a dropout noise happen for me,but stability wise Sonar has issues,but as the PreSonus crossgrade offer is very reasonable,it's hard as that glitch was very obvious to me,but if the DAW itself was more stable on Windows than Sonar Platinum then S1 all the way.I have the Waves and the NOMAD factory versions of the Pultec VST's.UAD like Apple is just crazy money in Australia.

Literally staple eq
