This is the first time I see the low-end cutting like you did. Will definitely try it.

[@Baywood]

Have fun doing it! You will be happy you did!

Big help man, I'm an artist in training but I'm learning to produce for myself and hearing my own voice over and over again can make it an impatient process sometimes, watching this has been beyond help. Thanks

Wowwwwww i never thought 2 ever use that trick to find out how much to take out from the EQ that was very clever...

Wow i just learned how to do vocals after all this time of searching. Ez and effective thank you!

Hey Jordan This Really help me with my Eqing thank you

[@Chris3460]

I'm looking very forward to testing this out... My kid is in a theater group and somehow I got sucked into running the board even though I have no idea what I'm doing (other than securing the absolute best seat in the house for every show). I've done two shows in the last couple of years and am about to do my third in a couple of weeks. EQing vocals for 23 kids has been the bane of my existence, but right after I finished the last show (last May), I discovered your video. I saved it and am prepping for the new show now. You make it look simple! I'm praying it is!

[@Baywood]

good luck to you! Concepts are the same!

[@lilave5]

[@NVRLOSTT]

Question, On some presets you have the Linear EQ that takes out already 98hz, then the normal EQ and a last channel EQ on the end the chain. Should we do this trick and cut the low on the 1st Linear EQ and clean the rest up on the channel EQ?

[@546onallplatforms]

Hey Jordan I was wondering if there are any Free recording studios or apps that are any good ,that you could recommend for me thanks.

[@creativegeenyus1819]

If u have an Apple device, smart device or laptop/desktop, there's GB(Garage Band) for free. Apple automatically sells their devices now with GB been doing so for 5-6 years now. Whether u are on a mobile or pc there's another free DAW called Bandlab, website or app, you're able to record nd produce, whether u home on ur computer u able to work or on the go usin ya phone u def can work. Bandlab has been around for 5 years now but def check it out, slowly but surely there are tutorials on this daw as there aren't as many because like any daw u need to know how to operate it's functions of the plugins nd it's widely known but not ppl are putting tutorials out on it. Either way Bandlab is a good start out DAW for that studio quality or close to it studio quality u can use still to start out. Yes u can hook up ya midi's and instruments. They even have their own interfaces manufactured by them but that cost money. And u csn use this interface for your computer or phone u just need a certain usb piece to use it. Either way u need a mic and an interface for music production. You can start out with a usb mic but def upgrade to that interface and XLR (which ever brand u choose) for better quality, that's with any DAW of course. Anyway If u don't have an interface, that's cool, u just have to opt to ya phone. All u need is a pair of earbuds wit a mic. Did I mention u can use Bandlab on any phone be it Android or iOS (Apple). But look...There are other free DAWs out there but Bandlab and GB are the main ones that come to mind out there to start out with. Pretty soon there'll be more software like that in the future. I know Joyner Lucas nd this Tech entrepreneur just put this new software out there been working on for 5 years called Tully for mainly independent hiphop artists. I'm sure u heard of it. Either way these two tools are here so it's no full to not get grinding. Definitely try Bandlab if u like it get to work. And use it til u upgrade to an actual paid DAW. Although i feel like GB is up there in the big leagues of the other known software like the ones Jordan uses in his vids. Best of luck though. It's bout time we shift the music industry on a DIY stage of things.

[@speezland_]

What plug-in is used to boost the frequency’s?

[@Baywood]

You can use any EQ for that!

[@415getActive]

after eq...what's next compression? which video do I watch next...if I'm tryna to mix with only stock plugins on logic

[@Baywood]

Check out this in order mixing series I made : kzbin.info/aero/PLeRLt_xPW0qHuDCzu5hu0OevdaCvi2DlB

[@matsynthr1433]

@@Baywood no problem!

[@houseofgraceworship]

Can I use your presets with female vocals? Thank u

[@Baywood]

100% I make sure to test all them using multiple types of female vocals

[@dio9835]

when doing the “search and destroy” tactic, do you do that more than once to take out all bad frequencies? or do you do it only once and take out only the very bad frequencies ?

[@Baywood]

if you start going crazy with it, your vocal will end up feeling empty. there are fundamental frequencies that normally can be dipped to make a vocal cleaner. check out this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXfQkGOeoZyrn8k

[@PeterGregg]

Why does your EQ line slope so tall and the one on mine has a gradual slope?

[@Baywood]

You need to change the EQ shape. You can do that by changing the shapes that you see right above the EQ. Take another look, you'll see what I mean.

[@jonathancardenas5252]

When sweeping, how do you decide which to get rid of, if you here a couple of bad ones?

[@Baywood]

Hey! When sweeping you just want to take out the loudest/harshest frequencies. There will be a few bad frequencies that aren't all that loud which you may want to keep just so you're not losing all of the color in the vocal. Keep doing this process and you'll slowly begin to realize by ear which frequencies your brain absolutely hates and which ones are tolerable! :P

[@yoursshane]

Does this apply for soul/r&b vocals?

[@Baywood]

Yes, each type of vocal will be different so there isn't necessarily one BEST way to EQ, use your ears until it sounds nice!

[@jaymyles4166]

how did you get the zones to shrink? from covering a wide area to a spike

[@Baywood]

you can use the numbers at the bottom of the EQ or use the dots to change the width of the fequency point

[@ItsAmo]

where can I find the "highs" though??

[@Baywood]

by increasing (or lifting up) the top end of the EQ.

[@breey6822]

How would you be able to do step one in FL Studio using Fruity EQ?

[@Baywood]

Great Idea!

[@sowhat3245]

[@Baywood]

[@415getActive]

does eq have to be in stereo...I click plugin off input 1 and it's in mono

[@Baywood]

Nope. If you recorded in mono it doesn’t matter.

[@jojo-fj7lw]

Bro the question is my cpu system overloaded. And ive been trynna find the answer by digging the videos online but found no help. Do u also encounter this problem? If yes, how do u handle this?

[@Baywood]

this can happen if your project is especially big, try chaning the I/O buffer size to a higher number. you can also freeze tracks to ease cpu usage

[@jojo-fj7lw]

@@Baywood will the i o buffer size effect the latency cauding delay when i want to record vocals? Is it better to increase buffer size to maximum when editing only?

[@MoneyRouteRay]

What do he mean when he say low quality studio?

[@Baywood]

I just mean an environment that isn't specifically treated for recording such as a bedroom. The reason I use that "search and destroy" method is because this allows me to remove harsh frequencies that muddy up the vocals. What happens when you're in a bedroom a lot of the frequencies will bounce off of your untreated walls and collide causing problem noise in your mix. This method just helps you to get the cleanest vocal possible! :)

[@OfficialSavo]

I don't know too much about eq but I do know anything below 100 hz is useless for vocals

[@OfficialSavo]

Also any adjustments you make should be applied while the whole mix is playing

[@Baywood]

there is a lot of body and fullness in male vocals around 50hz. I would say 20-30hz is for sure not needed. But it all depends on the voice

[@blikkskylark749]

what if i dont have the graphic eq?

[@Baywood]

You can update your Logic Pro. Or just use any EQ

[@eduxb9140]

Hmmn
