  • Hello Daniel, Thanks for answering my questions ... Do you have any topics on bass guitar and pre-mastering? you have some video lessons so I can buy and learn more about mixing? Very good for your topics'm showing my friends here in Brazil ... Thank you, God bless you!

  • @Renato27ify

    Thanks. There are more tutorial videos on this channel. There are also several good books from sound.org and the Waves Gold Certification Program which is a course with videos, sessions, a book and more.

  • Daniel I have difficulty in mixing the guitar it causes ear fatigue, what can I do to solve this problem? the musicians that I record do not have good equipment plug'in which indicates to me you better record the guitar? Congratulations, here in Brazil has by explaining that people just like you. Thank you.

  • @Renato27ify

    Try monitoring with good monitors (not headphones), in levels that aren't too loud. Take breaks to give your ears a rest. You can record a real guitar or use an amp modeler plugin such as GTR. Pushing frequencies around 2-5K can make things sound harsh sometimes, although these are sometimes needed to cut through a mix. Find the balance...

  • cool,great tip.

    did you use a narrow q or wide q when boosting?

    cheers.

  • Usually a wide Q for boosting, narrower when attenuating.

  • What does this actually do? Does it create a very complex eq? Or does it do something entirely different?

  • Love it! thank you

  • thanks this was the last piece of the puzzle for my guitar distortion sound \m/

  • Great video.. Thanks

  • Dude. You say 'cool' like Derek Zoolander!

  • @Renato27ify usually my problem with ear fatigue comes from a low dynamic range (very little volume change), a.k.a. a very compressed sound. Try not compressing everything at all except it you absolutely have to.

  • Great!....Thank you!...

  • @silverxarrows Thats the first thing i thought!

  • Daniel is great meat and potatoes. with great tips..ty

  • i guess the point of deesser is to create that warmth sound? I wasn't around during those old ages but this sounds like its a process of creating those warm tone.
