I could sleep isolating the 80-200Hz frequency, it just feel so calm, relaxing.

It’s the same with music theory. You analyse the composition of every song you hear, and realise that 90% of current music is very rudimentary and relies on fancy production rather than any accomplished musical ideas, which can take a lot of the fun out of just enjoying music

one curse of mixer ear for me has been becoming hyper sensitive to the sounds of the world around me. on one hand i've become an amazing eavesdropper, on the other hand i'll never be able to tune out the sub-bass frequencies of my neighbor's speaker (which my friends always tell me they cant hear when they're over) great video, super informative and a subject that should be talked about more. im a video editor who's dabbled in music so audio balancing is my strong suit and i always appreciate learning more

'Click bait', I wondered? Naw, you certainly delivered. Very useful!!! Gracias!

02:05 Range 20 - 85 Hz: thumping, low rumble 03:35 Range 85 - 200 Hz: base frequencies 05:25 Range 200 - 400 Hz: muddy range 07:41 Range 500 - 900 Hz: honkyness 10:15 Range 1 - 2 kHz: telephone sound, human whistle 14:15 Range 2 - 4 kHz: scissors cutting paper, small bird whistle 18:06 Range 4 - 8 kHz: presence, beat-boxing, ts, keyboard click, hand clap 20:06 Range 8 - 20 kHz: sizzly, sparkly, bright, cicadas from Evangelion 21:21 Range 16 - 20 kHz: super airy extra little bit on top

I was practicing this technique just the other day for a few weeks and I gave it a break and all of a sudden my ears started to pickup these frequency ranges. It does work. I'll be more consistent with my practice as of now. Thank you for this video... 👊🏾

Your channel is so underrated. I am almost finished with this video and took notes on my iPad while listening along with my beyerdynamics. All associations were so natural and immediately clicked for me. I hope that this helps me with my professional career and thank you so much for putting this out. I always loved this channel but always hoped for longer videos. Thank you so much!!!

I have watched several of these types of videos, but this one is the best by a mile! Thank you!

My Ex wife reminds me of that trumpet tone; that midrange that causes physical head-pain after about 30 minutes of it non stop. 😂 Outstanding content buddy, GREAT work!

The whistle trick really made sense to me!

The title seemed click bait-y, but I clicked through out of curiosity and was glad I did! The associations you mentioned are so helpful, thank you for making this!

Great video. I've been needing this kind of breakdown of the frequencies and I'm glad I clicked on yours. Subbed!

as someone with 8k subscribers you deserve it way more +9 million more your channel is crazy underrated 😭😭💗

When I think of all the terms used to describe audio frequencies, none of them are as useful as this great visualization. Thank-you!

Much more useful than I expected. Well done. 👍

very helpful, thanks!

super cool stuff. thanks for sharing

I literally see the Pro-Q3 interface in front of me, and I want to touch it.

Appreciate the knowledge. Thank you for sharing/teaching

thank you sooo muche!!! realy helped me a lot =)

great video and great advice! much love for the cheat sheet too !!

u know bro? ,ur the coolest tutor i've ever seen in mylife, thanks for this omggg

Great info - thank you!

Hello brother. The content in this video is some of the most useful info I've ever consumed for production. Really appreciate this! But I'm commenting to say that after I tried to find your video again to sub your channel, I couldn't because you gave the vid a clickbait title instead of anything about "frequency association" etc. I had to search for 10 minutes, even resorting to google searches of stuff I remembered in the video, all to no avail. Eventually I got lucky and it appeared in the "Watch It Again" section of the guest account I initially watched it on. I'm super glad I found you again. So yeah, I get the grind is real for breaking through and you gotta do some marketing but I think you're going pretty heavy on all the "Wait till the end" or "don't miss this next part" or *explains what the video is about and how awesome it's going to be instead of getting straight into it* and I feel you're actually overshadowing the content itself a little bit with all the cheap stuff. Content which in this instance was some of the most useful I've seen! Anyway to cut a long story short, all I'm saying is you're making good shit and as long as the editing is noice the shit will stand on its own. Obviously you gotta do some marketing but in this case your marketing made me impatient for you to get to the good stuff and made it difficult for me to find the video 😅 Just one man's feedback! Gonna say once more how much I learned from your vid and appreciate what you're doing! Edited: typos

SUPER VERY CLEAR TO UNDERSTAND :-) you make learning fun, new subscriber!!!!!

gonna have to watch this without so much ambient noise on my end. I heard silence for the first range, the one that I'm supposed to associate with thunder. not "oh, I think maybe I hear something, but I'm not sure." nothing. indistinguishable from muted.

21:43 "Let's hear it one more time" Me: hear what? 🙃

Very helpful. I did live sound reinforcement for a number of years, which helped in this regard. But mixing for live and recording are different animals.

This was very helpful, thank you. I play bass, but i never did really have a handle on this. Now i have a clue at least.

Excellent!!!Thanks!!

"It's not thumping and I'm feeling it." Confusing for a song critique, good for 85 - 250 🤣

subscribed! that was a lesson I wish my teachers would have taught me, thanks!!!

Super helpful!💯👏🏻

Helped a lot thanks dawg

you forgot one easy cheat on identifying the ~3.5kHz range - have tinitus 😭

Great video. I will watch it all over daily until I knew it in my sleep.

a cosmic thank you!!!!

I use 5 different bass instruments layered in most of my work 3 are low end pads I tweaked plus drums I found that even with cutting the low end with a shelf cut helps a lot but also switching the polarity on your bass and kick works even better. You try not to get noise cancellation when all these low end instruments are competing in the overall mix state. If you add some high end vocals or strings etc you will hear the volume drop out on those if you do not change the polarity on the low end. Then I use volume automation as well plus add some light reverb effects this too will lower the sound in some cases but over time once you start building up more then 30 instruments with side chained effects it all adds up to higher volume issues. I can now listen to my mix and hear right away what needs to be treated or lowered in the mixing session. Just remember as one instrument may sound good in the mix once you start applying more instruments it can increase overall so just keep those mix faders adjusted plus tweak the sends on your channels this helps a lot too. Once you have listened to many mixes it becomes 2nd nature to the trained ear it takes time to acquire this skill but its part of the musical process which I love. If you don't get the sound right in the mix your mastering will only bring out the worst of these mistakes by enhancing those issues hence you have to go back and find the problem. Using reference tracks also helps and I try not to use to much width panning in my work via a plugin alone your better adding 2 channels as to pan left or right to get the same desired effect but with no air sounding quality which some wide plugins do.

Great video!

lol, 02:15 "let's hear what that sounds like" my laptop speakers: silence.

This is super helping

wow great introduction! looking at more of your videos definitely subscribed 🫡

that is one eerie ass thumbnail

Great job

Woof Woof! 200😎

You explain things so well. I wish more people took the time the way you do. It's funny how you mentioned in the beginning of the video about doing stuff like this as though you had a blindfold on. I'm actually totally blind myself and I love how you describe things so well. What microphone are you using for your audio when you're speaking? How do you make your room so soundproof and not echo at all? You have an amazing voice by the way. I wish I had a voice like yours because my voice is hoarse and weak and raspy and I wish I had a more masculine voice like you.

GAME CHANGER

Genius

The secret tip was to watch this video over and over again. Hilarious

this made me realize that my "range" for whistling is actually incredibly wide, it's just, at the ranges where my whistle breaks i need to switch to a different technique like hissing my tongue or singing 😂 and when my singing breaks i can switch to reverse singing for the ultra bass notes now, I don't do those ranges WELL, but I can technically emit them

I've always been taught to think of anything around 4khz as the nails against chalkboard frequencies from those recording heavy metal guitars. usually a place you want to surgically tame frequencies around 3db to 6db

this was super cool!! is there perhaps 1 for compression?? 😁😁😁

its kinda like tuning carburetor engine by ear. My dad is master at that, he knows what sounds perfect on 2stroke and i just look at the spark plug color after few rips "yeah he was right"

Short cut -) Ear training with the App Quiztones

10:50 sounds exactly like the music played through the telephone when you're on hold lmao

Very helpful, thanks a lot. Not going to tell an engineer 'bit too much cappuccino machine there, mate', though:)

Man I feel like I'm just too dumb to get this. I've watched countless vids on how to eq yourself and just set up a parametric eq via Equalizer APO and AutoEQ master (using attached settings for my headphones specifically). It sounds great because the sound is now 100% neutral but I really love unproportionally strong bass and other than playing with some values on a graphic equalizer while listening to it, I can't manage to do it in a clean way because I just won't understand the absolute basics of this stuff lol. It worked for me before by dragging some sliders up by unholy amounts and it did sound good (not like a dirty bass boost but not quite like the super duper clean rebass either) but every expert in this field would tell me I'm just ruining my sound. I just made use of the sliders that sounded like they were intensifying bass and adding a bit of delay in it. Really, I don't know what kinda video I need to understand how to do this properly.

I lost 20 mins. Yes indeed, never going back.

Yeah after about 20 years i can tell it's general location. Like oh that need something around 10k or oh that needs less 80 feels a little boomy. Or Maybe I should notch out 1k it's a little pericing on the snare. Stuff like that. I could never listen to a 10k pitch and be able to say oh that's a 10k pitch at -3 db. some people can but having relative ability is good enough for me.

how do those adams compare to those mackies?

0:50 i was like "where does that sound comes from?👀"

Used NS10s for a long time so I can probably point out 2khz

What version of Protools are you using? It looks different from 11 that I have. I must be using a very old version. I know I'm dating myself but I learned Protools on version 7. I upgraded from an Mbox to a Control 24 pared with a Protool PC and have been using it until the computer wouldn't recognize the "C" drive. Looks like it's time to upgrade again. Liked the description of the frequency ranges. Unfortunately, my laptop has crappy little speakers in it so I couldn't make out the lower end isolations. I usually associate 20-200 Hz as thunder from different distances. The longer distance being that low rumble to the closer ones being a pop or boom. As I often deal with singers, the middle range is usually divided in vocal ranges; bass ,tenor alto and soprano. From 5k-12k is clarity of consonants and anything above that is sizzle and high overtones. All of us hear the same things. We just have different associations. I am also a musician so my ears have been trained to listen carefully to not only pitch but also to how sound frequencies interact with each other. It's amazing how if you eq each voice slightly differently, it brings out each voice or instrument in its own frequency nitch in the mix. I find this is particularly useful in live mono mixes. Even in a panned stereo mix, it does the same thing. Sorry for rambling but this is my passion so it's hard not to. Liked your video and going check out more of them.

When I listen to my mixes my ears tend to "close" as if I was on a flight, (not that extreme but the effect is similar) and I can't locate where the problem is and why this is happening

I can whistle 500Hz-2100Hz apparently

Hmmm. Why do we have to give you our email addresses in order to get the cheat sheet? Seems like you're asking us to give YOU a gift.

where is the bonus tip in the end of the video? sorry i missed or dont get it haha. But great content! Hi from brazil

Desperation

I can hear those frequency associations in isolation (as you demonstrated in the video), but in the context of a full mix, I cannot seem to pick them out. I can generally pick out individual instruments in a full track, just not individual bands of frequencies.

That's not what I wanted - Luke Prov: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNSJftaHqtLZZqM.html save you a search for anyone interested. the original seems woefully underexposed, barely anyone seems to have seen it

unfortunately, due to my age and years of gigging, I can't hear the 16k and above, so I have to have other people's input when I'm mixing

Hey Edges, I’m starting a Song A Week challenge to help artists design their lifestyle and learn music business. I’d love to have you in the challenge, links on my channel.

Is it just me or is there even music playing when he is going through the diff groups

LOL. I don’t even hear everything higher than 12k. And if you are over 45, you have a good chance that you also don‘t

"So if you guys just pay attention to MY NATURAL WHISTLE RANGE you will be able to identify frequencies based on my vocal pitch!"

There is a lot of information. Useful - 0

Sugar Sound stole your video dude, report it lol ... actually last time i saw their video, there was a comment saying it was sus similar to this one, an it seems that comment is gone...weird

Clickbait

The title of the video promises a lot. And then its just 20 minutes sweeping an eq band, very boring 😢

Stop perpetuating bad sound engineering. You are just contributing to the loudness war. You are only supposed to CUT frequencieS! STOP IT!

Not a great start. I may be no "Spring chicken" but when someone plays silence and tells me I feel it, which I don't, then what I feel is that it's not for me.

Tonal profile looks flat, isn't it supposed to look like a pink noise profile for mix to be balanced?

Dude said "tomber"
