Ableton Channel EQ Tutorial, & why I recommend it over EQ8

[@AtliTheParsnip]

Probably the most useful video about Ableton I've seen. wow. Not only was the info on EQ's exactly what I was looking for but the context in which you put it into was major for me! Thx man!

[@basskleph]

Thanks! I’m glad it was helpful! 😃 let me know if you have any ideas for videos I should make next

[@dissdad8744]

Completely agree: very cleverly designed channel style EQ that is sufficient for most mixing tasks. Let's not forget that the hyped SSL channel EQ that was found in the original SSL consoles and has often been emulated in software is actually less capable than Ableton's new Channel EQ device!

[@cuppajoe101]

Nice, I've been looking for a simple graphical EQ in ableton for exactly the use case of this channel EQ. I totally agree with you that it's easy to overthink EQ and overdo it if you aren't careful. Never knew about this one! Thanks for sharing.

[@basskleph]

Welcome! Glad you feel the same way. I think you will like Channel EQ

[@stby_outdoors]

I'm glad I saw this before upgrading for 300+ dollars just for a EQ eight

[@basskleph]

Exactly!

[@AphroLatinX]

Just started my home studio and I've been spending the last three days eqing LOL thank you for this

[@samuelstone242]

NIce! Awesome explanation. Easy to understand for people who are a still trying to wrap their heads around EQing do's and don'ts

[@jamaulwhite218]

this explains a lot. I was wondering what happened to the eq 8 but i know now I am on the right path. nothing beats channel eq

[@atomfredl]

To the point. There's no better way to explain it. Top!

[@basskleph]

Thanks! That what I strive for. I want to make learning music production as easy as possible for you guys

[@iamdjkirk]

Stu, you're an absolute genius! So thankful for you dude!

[@basskleph]

Thanks Kirk! :) I am here to help. btw your latest tunes are sounding excellent! Great work! Keep it up!

[@iamdjkirk]

@@basskleph dude thank you man!

[@Jvssvl]

That would be me, spending way more on EQing than it’s required. Need to stop doing that. Thanks for the video.

[@SimonSlothindianer]

Awesome video - great concepts!

[@basskleph]

Glad you liked it! 😃

[@orangeoctopusjim]

One of the golden Ableton tutorials on KZbin - thank you!

[@basskleph]

Glad you like it! 🙂

[@Darysson]

Thanks for the sick video! 💪🏻🤛🏻

[@basskleph]

Welcome! Glad you liked it :)

[@phuocphung1583]

Thank you.

[@joshuajaimes121]

Thank you so much, so I should be fine with just Channel EQ rather than using EQ three or eight?

[@joshuajaimes121]

Also noticed my guitar tone was a heck of a lot b ed better just using EQ. Thanks again!

[@basskleph]

Most likely, yes. I wouldn't recommend EQ3. It is really made for DJing. So it's a choice between Channel EQ and EQ8. I think Channel EQ is perfect for 90% of the time. It is also fast and easy. There might occasionally be a time where you need extra bands/options and that is what EQ8 is for.

[@ianvjones]

Dope! Thanks mate!

[@chigbungus5257]

I like eq 8 for automating nasty bass sounds

[@JohnJohnCrusher]

Bwahaha I love that crazy awful micro surgical EQ8 example. Had me laughing. I see that stuff way too much!

[@G3438]

I can’t find EQ channel on my Live 10 audio devices folder, anyone with same issue ?

[@hmp01]

did you update your ableton? I think it's in the new update 10.1

[@basskleph]

It should be listed as "Channel EQ"

[@bboymac84]

Yea update your Ableton and then type in EQ in the main search box in Ableton. Real easy

[@G3438]

Mac Joseph I did, i can’t believe it, am always up to date, thanks everyone

[@zheelstudiojeetramthakur7353]

I need it. How can I get it.

[@hmp01]

newest update in ableton. think its 10.1

[@GravitasCreate]

Great tutorial, been seeing most people hate on this one but glad to see an in-depth review showing why it's great. Going to be adding this to our newsletter for sure :)

[@basskleph]

Excellent! Thank you! Yes, it turns out there was a good reason for this EQ after all

[@Nivenization]

Thank you.

[@jakehettinger1087]

great video! Thanks for making this. One of my friends has been using the channel EQ more and I am definitely going to be now as well

[@Allan-et5ig]

Totally agree about people obsessing over surgical cuts without really knowing what they're doing, fatiguing themselves and not working on a great track. If you are writing on commission the next Bond theme you'll need a specialist EQ person with loads of experience, lol. I'm not crazy about EQ 8 to begin with and had no idea how powerful channel EQ was until now.

[@TheYuke]

As a beginner in Ableton this video was great since I don't feel quite comfortable yet with the eq eight and was kinda stressed out about it... Knowing that the simpler eq's can do just fine feels really good for now :)

[@claysoul_music]

Hey Mate. Notice you are using the small Genelecs. Are you using a sub with them?

[@basskleph]

We’ll spotted! I use a sabpac. I find I get more accurate results with that vs a subwoofer. Also the speakers are small only because my room is small. They need to match for acoustic reasons

[@claysoul_music]

@@basskleph Same I have the 3" jobs

[@AlbertoMons]

Great video ! The Q is 1 or 0.70 ? Or what else ? Thanks

[@tensenpark]

seems to me this is nice for live performance and mapping your midi devices to it, but not so much for mixing of your songs. I like the point on the master channel though!

[@Martin-lb4te]

super beautiful explaination

[@MisterShufu]

You are making tutorials? Are you fucking kidding me? You are the real MVP. been enjoying your tracks for a long time. "I'll Be OK (Superskank Remix)" was in my first mix I ever did. So about 8 years later I watch you doing a tutorial. You always have a great full sound to your songs. Love to learn some techniques!

[@basskleph]

Indeed I am! 🙂 Ahhh you know the tracks! Thanks for the support! Let me know any topics you want to learn more about and i'll try to cover them

[@on_certainty]

agreed!
