  • @jasethebassuk  this is better advice then the vid itself... tho the vid wasnt bad, take this mans word for of advice tho and dont eq till u compress

  • I still stand by this...If you apply EQ before adding compression, the subsequent compression will change your preferred EQ to a noticeable degree. This will be dependent on just how much compression or 'threshold level' you throw at it..You will go back to the EQ to alter again, then undo the compression.you would end up chasing your tale..My way you level out your mix and then apply the EQ to make it sound how you want it to sound, without risk of either process cancelling the others action.

  • oh, look at that- it has a band pass in it

  • NIce video. How did you get the volume line in the track though

  • @isreal95

    Also, use a pop filter on your microphone .. that could be a big part of the problem if you are not using one ..

  • @isreal95

    The solution you are looking for is a De-Esser.

    A De-Esser is Frequency Specific Compression, which targets sibilant S, T, P etc. sounds, and pushes down only those sounds, only when they occur.

  • Why use a bus;

    1.Buses are more eco friendly and have a smaller carbon footprint.

    2. You meet interesting people on the bus.
