A Brief History of EQ - Unexpected Origins & Underestimated Impact

[@iRevolVeR21]

I attended a Burl event yesterday at East West Studios (formerly United Western Recorders) and I got to tour three different studio rooms. My favorite was studio room #3. The Beach Boys Pet Sounds room.

That sounds amazing!

[@gregorydaggett7444]

Interesting! I enjoy learning about the history of music and recording gear

[@southhour5241]

Great documentary!

Good video. Thanks. But different digital EQ (Analog emulated) had different sound

[@olafsigursons]

She meant different units, not model I guess?

[@MusicTheoriesChannel]

Yes, to be clear I meant that in regard to EQ model plugins vs their hardware units. Not different EQ models compared to each other. I hope that makes sense!

When people ask me what EQ is, I tell them it's the tone control knobs on your stereo, and they understand it right away.

Didn’t realize this was a Universal Audio advertisement..

[@MusicTheoriesChannel]

It is certainly not because then I’d be getting paid lol they just happen to be a significant company historically

[@Benprogfuse]

@ No mention of Rupert Neve then?

[@southhour5241]

@@Benprogfuse He farted at one point in time, he shouldn't be in a documentary of this nature. Immature line of enquiry on your part.

[@Benprogfuse]

@@southhour5241 Or uninformed response on your part. Rupert neve contributed heavily to the enhancement of EQ design. Especially in parametric EQ and proportional Q development. He also collaborated with Lester Paul on some of these earlier designs. I would recommend researching him.

Now i finally recognise those old compressors

[@larrytan73]

@9:02 So true!

[@omarsuriel1112]

The reason as to why they still like to use or emulate analog eq is wrong and close. It’s oposite, certain analog gear has the specific sound/feel based on the harmonic distortion in analog gear that engineers try to replicate but buying the same gear.

Is this human narration?

[@MusicTheoriesChannel]

Yes, I am human 😂

[@mybachhertzbaud3074]

@JC20XX Even if it were AI, it would just be copied from human speech or you would not likely understand it.🤔

A sound cannot be "iconic." Only Imagery is iconic - i.e., a person or thing whose Image is famous, usu. with the implication that it has become emblematic. (The word Icon, in orginal Greek, MEANS Image.) In addition to being the most overused word on KZbin, Iconic is also, by far, the most MISused - misusers seeming to believe it means simply "widely known," "instantly recognizable," "memorable," etc., without specific and sole reference to imagery. Increasingly, too, it is being employed, mistakenly, as a simple synonym of "very famous." This case of misuse has spiraled due to the KZbin Feedback Loop - wherein video-makers parrot and propagate each other's speech errors. A troubling consequence of such wide misuse is that dictionaries - as a matter of long-held policy (now in need of revision in this age of the viral Internet, for obvious reasons) - will update definitions to reflect vernacular usage, setting up a slippery slope towards our language's ultimate debasement.
