I actually like producing into a bit of passive EQ on the master bus - Bax, Pultec, etc. Deals with the midrange muddiness early and makes boosting mid-range audibility more intuitive. Can easily hear what instrumental parts have low end and top end to remove to make room for vocals, drums, bass, etc. It's made my workflow faster.

As you switched on the eqs, my jaw dropped. The lows are good but for me it's in the top end it shines, it is bringing so much more detail in a subtle and sweet sounding way, everything seems more alive and more real. Fantastic for songs like this. Thanks so much for another great video Marc, loving it.

Great vid - Passive EQ' i use are Eckmiller ( i have a few including hp/lp filters). Various RFZ ( i have a few) and 2 White instrument cut only graphics. Just as Mark said, so easy to over-boost thinking nothing happening, then you bypass and its "WOW". Also analogue passives keep the bass as tight as F phase wise - great for vinyl. I love active eq as-well but passives are my foundation eq's - always plenty boost and cut.

I'm in, and I hope they will be my "go to" for mastering. Beautiful production by the way. Simple is the way.

@MoreMeRecording 2 жыл бұрын

Always love Marcs input. Some of my fave content on YT, next to Warren of course ;) I think it's something in the Q with (at least my) passive EQs. I mean, with a pultec inspired circuit I always thought about how you can get really playful in the low end especially with that what I like to call "push me/ pull you" effect, to borrow from Doc Doolittle with the simultaneous cut/boost. Really great. But what really surprised me with my JLM PEQ500s is what it did for snare when I strapped the pair across the drum buss. On their own, I honestly can't recall boosting snare at 12k but with the PEQ500s? There's a real sweet, fermented sauce spooned ontop and why I've maintained that these pieces are the only pieces in my 500 Series I have that I rave about , where everything else can easily be replaced with something else, no probs. There you go. My 2db

Very much appreciate your discussion of how and why a particular hardware item or plugin, with the settings you use, works to achieve a specific goal. Valuable and thought provoking.

'Even if it's adding one cool thing but it's taking away two cool things, never use it'. That's a good point actually! Some EQ plugins for example have a strong effect on the transients and that's something I try to pay attention to. Thanks Marc!

i'm designing my own preamp/passive eq since i wanted something that could boost much better than my other eq's, its basically a passive inductor EQ where the inductors are lowpass filters for 3 bands, and capacitors are highpass filters for 3 bands, makeup driven by a 2520, so far its sounding really good and exactly how you describe here, you have to boost a lot to get a lot of change but even a lot of change isn't too weird
