Four EQ tips for a better mix Video Lecture | Reason Tutorials: The Ultimate Guide - Video & Sound Editing

hey this is Matias with Propellerhead
software and in this video I'll give you
four EQ tips that will make your mix
sound better when a queuing sounds a
good rule is that it's better to take
out what you don't want rather than
boost what you do want
since many other sounds can occupy the
same space as the sound you're queuing
just boosting these frequencies won't
make the mix sound less cluttered
instead lowering those frequencies on
other tracks can leave some space for
the sound to cut through for example if
you want a bass or a kick to not drown
in a mix you can roll up some low end on
the other tracks with a high-pass filter
to leave the kick convey some space and
keep the mix from becoming muddy
much better
compare this to how it was before if one
of your instruments as a part of the
sounds you'd like to tell down you
probably want to lower that frequency
the best way to find these frequencies
is to apply a lot of gain with an arrow
key and then sweep the frequency back
and forth until you hear if you hit the
right area when you find the stuff you
don't like you can simply put the game
down lower it
this also leaves some room for the
vocals hey
they reset
by the kick drum is a central part of
music and might need a bit of extra eq
attention to sound great in the mix for
some extra weight to the kick try a
small boost around 50 to 150 Hertz
setting the low frequency to bell mode
in recent mixer can help you hone in on
this area without adding much of the
surrounding frequencies to reduce boom -
and clean up the low-end setting a
high-pass filter around 50 to 60 Hertz
can really tighten up your cake you can
also try boosting around four to seven
key loads which adds a bit of snap to
the kick drum much better just listen to
the difference when e cueing vocals you
want to make sure that they pop out of
the mix the prescence is often at two to
four killers
so either boosting here or leaving some
space around these frequencies will make
sure your vocals cut through the mix
and if your vocals are sounding a bit
dull you can try boosting around 10
kilohertz and over this is the air of
the vocals and can really help a vocal
track sound more open so there you have
it for EQ tips for a better mix until
