All of these frequency points are the same for both singing, and dialogue, hope it helped you!
Very nice explanation thank you very much...do you have a written version of it ?? Could be really useful!!!
Limiter vs clipper should be next
@@essouna That’s a great idea!
Would love to see an episode on mic placement for vocals, off axis vs on axis, angled down vs up, sitting lowers vs higher, further vs closer. Also how to place a mic to solve specific issues like sibilance, plosives, telephonic characteristics, sizzle… and the characteristics of the vocal to sit into a particular mix (placing the mic to compliment the voice in a given situation).
Love your content, Colt! Been following you for years.
Awesome video! A written chart would be very cool!
It was incredibly surprising to find something so simple and digestible being this rare. I wish everyone wasting hours on pointless EQ tutorials could just watch this video. This was so helpful.
Seriously 💪😎
True
Honestly
thanks for the info
@@Weonlyknewoneway 🎉😮😂
Goal: get a balanced and natural sound
cool summary
A true Def of summary.
Thank you 🐐
Thank you
Good for studio recordings app. In live enviroment, on stage, there are anothers rules for keep the feedback as low. In a studio room we can do everything you teached us here but on stage.....we have few more rules for distroy the feedback. Highselv on highs with boost 😂 ....never on stage.
Finally, a Vocal EQ video that actually explains the specific frequency ranges with clear examples and no background music. Thank you!
8:55 "You should know exactly what you are trying to accomplish, before you start turning knobs" 🙏 Word! I can't stress enough how being aware of that helped me find that right sound of something I was looking for. In sound design, tiny parameter changes can make a huge difference 🎵
Idk vocals are so particular. The distance from the mic, gain from the pre, and vibe of the singer all make a insanely huge difference. A singer can make a slightly different tone and stand 5 inches further away and sound like a completely different person. To me the most difficult and important thing is just getting that "VIBE for the song exactly right. Unless you're working with a world class talent like Chris Cornell or Elvis where all you need to do is turn the mic on
So right bro
You’re right. But that doesn’t take away from this video AT ALL
Well I just found you. I have the charts with these frequencies all mapped out, but I stumbled across this video and what makes this one so unique from all the others, is you EQ'd your voice through each frequency point. That was, for me, and I'm sure several other newbies, an ah hah moment. Thank you for this. Awesome
Couldn't have said it better, brother. I too am grateful. Definitely helped.
This is definitely one of the best tutorials about EQ'ing voice. People need to learn to listen how something affects the sound rather than memorize some arbitrary numbers. Later on you don't even think about the frequencies you just automatically sweep through the areas you hear and boost or attenuate accordingly. I love simple EQ's that do not even give me the exact frequencies. Well, I mean nowadays I only use Fabfilter cause it can do everything I would ever need EQ wise and it's so sleek and easy to use.
9 years into my mixing journey and this is the single most helpful video I've ever seen on EQ
@@acousticsound7 1. I was meaning helpful to newcomers because other videos don't explain EQ this way.
2. You are ALWAYS a student to this. You will never have it figured out and you will always learn new things no matter how long you've been doing this
@@DeadSilent Yo, you're right. I listened to your stuff and it sounds great. Keep it up.
@@johna9276 haha I appreciate you checking it out!
Dang... With that title I was expecting something really cheap and predictable. Instead I come away really informed. Thanks, mate!
As a audio engineer i found this video to be one of the best EQ videos I've ever seen he explained it so good even a caveman could do it. Great video simple and to the point
.
What about as a trash truck driver? Does your opinion change? What about as a burger flipper? Like if you were a scuba diving instructor specializing in the Australian Great Barrier Reef, would your opinion of this video on EQ be better or worse?
@@legacyShredder1 what doesnt change is a dumb ass showing he dumb🤣
This is literally the best eq tutorial on CZcams bro 👍🏽
1:02 "as always".... "Thank you for shopping at Walmart". Couldn't resist. I really would have found this helpful back in 2019 when I started to use EQ with specific results in mind opposed to just moving the levers arbitrarily.
Wow!! I was blind but now I see…. THANK YOU!!
Best vocal mixing tutorial ever! The use of live effects as you teach is just epic! You've earned a sub!
Thanks for the tips. Love your channel!
i always used to cut above 200 hz, thats why my vocals were always thin, thank you for helping me.
Best Voice EQ tutorial on CZcams. ❤
You’ve created the default video every (newish or curious) mixer should reference. Well done - would you consider doing a similar eq walkthrough on other popular music elements? Drums, bass, piano, acoustic and electric guitars? Again, DUDE - well done!
I will likely do those videos on the Patreon. But we will see! Thanks for watching!
Do one on “bass” mixing
As a bassist I’ve noticed that the bass driven songs need mixed different than ones with bass as a filler instrument more in the background
One of the most succinct, informative videos on vocal eq that I've seen! Awesome job!
I like that as you spoke you turn up and down the bands a few times
This is one of, if not, the best video on vocal frequencies out there! Super helpful Colt!
Thank you for sharing your expertise! Greatly appreciated!
Absolutely the best explanation by far.
Thanks, Colt!
Hi Colt - Extremely useful video - many thanks for taking the time to post! Appreciated.
EXTREEEEMLY HELPFUL!!! Thank you for the clarity.
Spot on, Colt.
Fantastic! Thanks for this!
Great interactive breakdown. Good to be able to see and hear the adjustments at the same time.
This has to be the most understandable video I’ve seen explaining vocal mixing. Thank you 🤘🏾 I appreciate what you do 💎✨
Outstanding. Thank you.
Bro this was so gosh darn good!!!!
One of the best videos I’ve seen on this. Btw love using fab filter and a U87!
Finally someone explains frequencies to me in a way that I can actually understand. Thanks!
Great job! Thank you!
Great presentation!
This was way more helpful of a video than I thought it was going to be. Great visual to auditory example!
This was an absolutely amazing explanation. I love it ! Thank you for your contribution.😀
Excellent class!
Nice video. Thanks Colt
Finally .I've seen numerous eq tutorials but never so cut and dry . Last eq tutorial for me. Very easy to grasp . Thank you.
This is the bessssttt eq tutorial i have ever seen. And i have seen a loooot of tutorials :D thx 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent breakdown
Beautiful tutorial
Genuinely super helpful. Been songwriting, producing and singing for less than a year but your videos have been a real help. Hopefully by next year I can get my sound to where it is in my imagination 😅
Colt, excellent breakdown! Most appreciative of your 2 piece, visualization/auditory platter!! To see and hear simultaneously is golden. Thank you!! 👊🏽😏
Thank you for the class!
Thanks Colt!
Is it a coincidence that I’m working on vocals today? THANK YOU for this practical showcase of vocal eq. Saving this vid! Please more vids like this!!!
This was the best explanation of eq’ing. I never truly understood it until I came across this video. You got my subscription! I’m about to watch the compression video next
Thank you Colt
the first time i see a tutorial full of pedagogy...congrats
Reference tracks are by far the key in whatever mix you want it to sound like.. reference reference reference.. listen to a song you love and would like to hear… EVERY ALBUM ON EVERY ARTIST have a DIFFERENT TONALITY.. don’t go in blind mixing.. understand what your goal is.. reference it.. don’t ever in your life be a person and try to reach a goal when you don’t even know what the goal is.. if you’re willing to reference (listen) and do the work.. then by god your halfway already there
Wow what a interesting video! I really like how you explained evey single frequency without stopping that helps a lot to compare. Thanks!
This is gold, I love you
How do you manage to hear your own voice over and over and speak fluently over and over again?！！！！！
Omg I've needed this for so long!
Very good explanation. This is my go to approach so, seeing someone I trust with info, explain it the way you did is very reassuring.
Great video. I've never had it explained that way and I could actually hear each frequency change as you delivered the script. Thank you, I have learnt something today!
Perfect! Thank you mate!
OHMYGOD!! THANK YOU for this!!
Appreciate this! Been doing this for 2 years now and my ear can now tell what’s going on in my mixes, like whether something feels nasally or boxy, but I never knew where to locate it and it would take me longer than it should’ve to find those frequencies, but thanks to these guidelines I’ll be able to EQ more efficiently! You rock!
The Best! This is The Best video on EQ I have watched so far and the most valuable to me and many others that I personally need to watch this as many times as I can and will enjoy each time the same. I am not sure why no one else ever explained this way. Absolutely amazing.
Lots of respect and lots of thanks 🙂
♥️ 🇨🇦
Great walkthrough really clear
Well explained, great work
This was great! I always doubt my hearing and ability for detecting frequencies. Having an idea what each range does is very helpful
Clear. Concise. Educational. And thank you.
Thanks.
Thank you for sharing this.
You is amazing bro!
Man, I love FINALLY hearing someone giving the TLM67 props. We rented one for a session and it was up there being auditioned against my 76' U87 and a fantastic e47C and it won the gig. Now, don't open it up and look at the guts or you'll wonder what you paid for lol. It's like the KM 184 when I looked inside to find there's nothing there compared to my KMi84 but that's SMD for ya!
Very Nice Video! Big Up Colt
Thanks Colt.
This was great, thank you. Curious if you could make a video or perhaps quickly explain how you go about choosing filter slopes? Thanks again
I already know this is gonna be a good video
Edit: I was right
Haha thanks!
Great work!
this video is literally amazing ty
Very informative video. Nice way of explaining the different eq regions and colors. You can’t go wrong when you start with a U67 though…😊
You're like the wine connoisseur of EQ. Honestly, jokes aside, you describing the way they sound is invaluable information. It's easy to reply on presets while forgetting that the most important "plug in" you own are your ears. If you learn to trust them, you can create from the most important part of you., your heart. Cheers. Great tutorial.
Really cant thank you enough!
THANK YOU SO MUCH TEACHER
That 800 zone is super important to me on vocals. Scooping a bit of 800 or 1600 seems to help with smoothness on a lot of vocals. But you can’t take out too much!
I always cut 3-5 db around 800hz. I always find that frequency problematic, loud, and harsh in its own way.
Outstanding video!. I never thought to be more surgical with my eq. Always went at it with a wide Q. I am gonna try this. Thanks!!!
Just be sure to use a combination of broad, and surgical EQ. Glad it helped!
Love your work, mate. 👍
Thank you so much! You made my day !!
As a live sound engineer, it’s almost pure guerrilla warfare. On the lower- to middle-grade gigs, you almost never have the opportunity to do anything the “right way”. But in the studio, you’re starting from a much better sonic place, primarily due to the absence of feedback. I spent all my time getting the room to sound good so that I wouldn’t have to fix each channel, but I always had to fix channels anyway. I just didn’t bother TOO much because the show was too demanding for me to worry about tiny fucking details, and besides, everyone’s drunk at most var gigs and in my experience, “the public” really can’t tell the difference between OK and great. Sure, on the big-money gigs you can go crazy and get everything perfect. But at the bars on a 3-band EQ? It is what it is.
Mi compa dejandose caer con sus traumas del pasado jajja
you go straight to the point, thank alots bro !
Excellent guide my friend!!
This is an amazing explanation!
This was so incredibly good. Thank you Colt for sharing this for free!
