Its all on you as a engineer. If you like to do EQ first and that work for you than do it. If you have a ear for music you will get the best results..
you guys are trippin...you want to use a compressor so compress your high waveforms and low waveforms to get them closer so you can then boost the signals and give it more of a gain...u compress last
@halfwaythere333 because a shelf would have raised the frequencies all the way down to 20 hz and theat is not what he wanted to do i assume, but i don't think this guys really knows what he's talking about.
Respond to this video... You guys are such noobs. You use EQ befor the comp when u are making cuts. You EQ after the comp if you are making boosts. Although there are no rules to mixing but these are techniques i learned from great pros and i'm not going to go into why this is a good way to work just think about it yourself and it should make sense.
hey doc, is there a reason you have the kick drum panned to the left at 27? I always leave mine dead center with the lead vocal...just asking though. you are great!!!
@carlsteen NOT ALWAYS CAUSE IF YOU GOT A LOT OF HI'S YOU MAY NEED THE COMPRESSOR TO COMPRESS THE THE HI'S IN THE BUSS OR TRACK. I WILL NEVER DO THAT ! YOU MAY HERE MORE OF THE COMPRESSOR GOING UP IN DOWN AND AROUND OR MOVE SOME KIND OF WAY JUST CAUSE OF THAT! BUT I USE OUTBROAD GEAR AND RUN THE SOUND OR MIC IN TO IT AND OUT TO PROTOOLS. STEVEN EASLEY ON THE BEAT!
yo, you sound just like da dude that sold me my avalon 737 in new york from sam ash. if so what up, you really helped me with this video and your advise. looking to pay more stuff soon.

these drums sound terrible they must be the ones supplied by pro tools. The beat sounds great though.

@charles030981 The drums supplied by Pro Tools sound great if you are a good producer and engineer. Speak for yourself man.

Why don't you just use a shelf on the LF, like you did on the HF?

the sound guy who taught me wasnt very good, he taught us to compress everything while recording then shove a little eq on it.
if you want the metal players style kick drum, very clicky sound, what type of EQ would i need?
gabbalabbawoop 2 years ago
for a clicky metal sound, just boost the frequencies in the kick at around 4kHz

Your wrong. You alwash have the compressor first, then EQ.
carlsteen 2 years ago
when you want to get EQ to stand out you need to EQ first the boost the freq with a compressor
skingsdoc 2 years ago
@carlsteen depends on who you ask man, i always use an eq first so im not sending frequencies that i dont want to the compressor
