EQ after comp just means you're compressing something that might not even there anymore. EQ before comp means you're compressing exactly the signal you want.

Agree. Especially low-passing something like an acoustic guitar. Why let the compressor act on something you're going to immediately lop off?

[@LightsandMotion]

greatly illustrated. classic example, CLA has said on numerous occasions that he boosts a lot of 8K on electric guitar INTO his LA3A´s that tame it back down again.

[@_djsport]

I am an advocate of using the equalizer first and then the compressor. One uses the compressor to "lock" the sound into its final form. If we compress the sound and then equalize it, we basically "kill" the compression because the equalizer alters the volume of the sound (essentially the EQ is a volume tool). Additionally, the EQ will change the envelope of the sound, often losing its initial attack in most cases. EQ before the compressor, that's how it works for me.

[@sgfdancecompany]

I agree if you are doing corrective EQ (subtractive), it depends on the material when it is necessary to do it before or after. if the track has a big amount of dynamics and you need to level this, the compressor first be the call. But in vocal for example, sometimes the subtractive eq is the way to go first

[@57Techboy]

I agree with that, I’m always looking to take out whatever frequencies do not complement a source, no matter what it is. Drums, bass, vocals, guitar, take out the Schmootz first.

[@sgfdancecompany]

@@57Techboy thanks!

[@obangamuzik]

Best comment 💯💯💯

[@KingdomScorned]

You can get away with pretty extreme EQ moves more when you do it before compression, it tends to smooth things out. Like boosting the high end in a vocal before compressing can reduce or sometimes eliminate the need for processing that vocal with De-essing.

[@JohnSk82]

Great tip , I do this all the time with staccato strings as well.

[@this_is_jmdub]

For me it’s like this: I listen to the signal and if the dynamics annoy me I go to a compressor or the fader. If it’s the tone that annoys me, I got to an EQ or distortion. After that work from there.

[@jas_bataille]

The fader is not gonna change the dynamics of the signal tho. It's only gonna change the dynamics of the song... meaning that the dynamics within the track between the lowest and highest peak remain the same. Regardless, fader balance should always be first, otherwise, you're just gonna waste time going back to correct EQ or comp you've done on a without enough information on the material.

Great tutorial. Thanks for all your content @Colt Caperrune !

[@larswillsen]

Hi Colt, that might be the best advice yet .. at least for me. I have only mixed and mastered since I re-started my 80s days last year. My mixes are reasonable and yesterday I tried to do exactly this and there was a difference for the better. The idea not to be stuck on one way has now been laid to rest, thank you 🙂

[@gulagwarlord]

Eq before compression is Emphasis Eq and is a very useful and valid technique.

[@lune_aquiline]

That trick of using sidechaining for just one note is new to me, but I can definitely think of moments where it would have been useful... let's just say I have a lot of over-compressed bass tracks in mixes from the past. You live and learn, I guess.

[@ulteriorreignsupreme]

This is very impressive, because there's so much color in the end result of the bass processing. There are many tutorials about processing bass, but most aren't really practical

[@LloydMajor]

Thank you for the class!

[@OmegaDerrick]

reasons why dynamic eq or multiband compressors(if you dont have dynamic eq available) are awesome first in chain, works wonders in live mixing too. usually on vocals i run that first then EQ to cut out some low mids if its a dynamic mic into a fast attack/release compressor to grab those peaks only, then run it into a slower attack/release compressor for overall compression/character. there's no right or wrong. if its sounds good it sound good! :)

[@JayVucci]

I have no rules. My quest is to keep an open mind. My breakthroughs have happened when I’ve been prepared to admit that I’m wrong about something. It only hurts my ego for half a day. I move on and the benefits last a lifetime. Thanks for your excellent content bro!

[@frequencyOneTV]

Keep the content coming! great channel!

[@TheNathanMac]

The reason I prefer to EQ before compress and after I compress, 1st is corrective EQ (if needed), but then most good compressors will flavour the sound a bit. So I then add an extra EQ to make it sound beautiful.

[@calimusic2007]

Great video as always Colt, especially the segment with sidechain compression using the amazing Fabfilter. I have to wonder if you could obtain similar result using a multiband compressor? Will have to A/B test this.

[@BBfanfun]

the advice is for SOFTWARE comp. the idea of EQ BEFORE comp stems from console design & older comps (HARDWARE). the process could bring out sibilance in the signal - not outstanding but just annoying enough (noise) when summed up. most insert points got fixed to post-EQ (on budget boards) more important - the advice was to EQ CUT before Comp & Boost after; yielding a "fuller" sound. but YMMV

[@jas_bataille]

That's an interesting point but what says this can't happen with software? If I'm compressing then I'm changing the harmonics or a signal, in the box or not. Sibilance could be a consequence of that. It depends on so many factors that it's literally impossible to just say, "software compressor cannot produce sibilance". Yes they can - not from any circuit of course but depending on the source material and how it's manipulated, you can't rule that out. There really are no hard rules in mixing except the first and last thing you use eyes for is to check meters lol

[@michaelanthony9068]

Wow you’re a great teacher. I just discovered you, liked and subscribed.

[@aeiplanner]

Colt, this is a good education video that misses the mark. The problem is that you’re BOOSTING before compression which you should never do. You can, and probably should EQ before you compress but ONLY to eliminate/reduce frequencies that are affecting the compressor too much. E.g. even out the frequency response and then your compressor will react properly to the information you feed into it.

[@antcall6779]

Great as always Colt🤘

[@Prodvisionary]

I usually use the 1176 first, then eq, then use the LA-2A to make it smooth so the results are almost always super clean on vocals

[@domasa.4043]

It makes sense what you are explaining. I don't understand why other people are so picky on this video

[@brandongleason5279]

Amazing, practical examples! Tracks that are very well produced and recorded will almost always have a little compression on them already. And then in mixing phase, it gets EQ'd and processed after that so.... 🤷‍♂

[@codycreepcore]

When Jim Lill did that video on "Where does the tone in a guitar amplifier come from?" (and the conclusion was, the order of EQ and Distortion points in any given amplifier are what gives the amps the tone), it be came clear to me that it was also applicable to mixing.

[@ShinyShinyBlack]

Love how many folks weighed in their opinions without actually watching the episode. 😂😂😂

[@ColtCapperrune]

[@johnisrael5183]

I just used your method on a Song I mastered...how do you feel with analog gear..... Do you think... I should be compressing...then going into my Souncraft...then coming out open into my ART Transy FET.....then going back into my DAW through my Interface(UAD Volt) or keep it the other way.....like I have it? going out of my G Comp then back into interface...back into the DAW...? Im curios to see what you think?

[@TRXST.ISSUES]

I’m only halfway through but this was a really interesting video. Here’s my thoughts (difficult to say if they’re relevant as my mixes aren’t great these days being out of practice) - you’re correct that using heavy additive EQ into a single band compressor will drastically affect the tone, transient response, character of the sound. Reductive EQ prior to compression is much more subtle. One of my old teachers (mixed Bruno Mars ++) said “why would you want to bring up the level of all that junk you don’t want?” Some of my best mixes were gainstaged into multiband compression and then EQ’d pre compression. Old af beat but searching for “seasho grind hard beat” shows one of these mixes. Obviously still an amateur on my end and still need to finish the video, but I think a lot of this comes down to “it depends.”

[@cursetheserpent]

Always do what sounds good. Never do what sounds bad

[@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn]

I've been playing with Waves Silk lately, it does a good job pre-compression, but you can use it several times in the chain, at different intensities.

[@DroptekOfficial]

The correct way is to EQ before comp then EQ then comp again. Then some more EQ if you're still not sure

[@kelvinfunkner]

yep! you got me here on the title alone lol....I was like....what the heck is Colt doing haha...but yeah...agree on all points...so many great advantages of eq'ing before AND after comp. I do have a question though...there was a video you did on the Kirchoff eq a while back, and it seemed like you were convinced it may replace the ProQ3....did that all go sideways? Just noticing that you're still using the PQ3. I've never used either before...just curious is all...and finally...so envious that the contest is only available in the US. I'm from Canada and my control room is literally centered around a red and black theme...so yeah...those would look super sweet in our facility here lol...

[@ColtCapperrune]

So I do think the Kirchhoff sounds better. But it is definitely not as user-friendly as the fab filter. So I tend to use the fab filter in videos, because I can move faster, and I tend to use it on less important things in a mix, again because I can move faster. But on Things where I’m looking for maximum sonic quality, I’m still on the Kirchoff

[@GizmoTHC]

what about when you mixing vocals? eq or compressor first?

[@Squidaniel]

It’s definitely a case by case thing. There are situations where I drastically EQ INTO a compressor for effect But I will also EQ after compression to compensate for low end energy the compressor creates. It’s case by case

[@jas_bataille]

Finally someone who talks about why doing corrective EQ first on everything is not gonna work. I am tired of every single person who ever watched a 5 min video about EQ telling everyone the only thing you should with it is subtractive. According to them Chris Lord-Alge or Sylvia Massy are horrible engineers... gimme a break!!! Also, sometimes you shouldn't EQ or compress at all. Rarely on a single track, but sometimes you get lucky and decide to correct or level something that came just right!

[@57Techboy]

Agreed, because compression changes the spectral EQ profile. You crush all the work you've done to get the EQ right.

[@PeanutButterAM]

Things like the Avalon 747 tell us a lot about the process of before and after.

[@yungspoiler]

ok raising the low end on the bass eq does effect the midrange... you are basically turning down every frequency except for the low end, or what ever you are boosting, and vice verse. if you put pro q in the auto gain mode it will sound similar as putting the compressor after the eq tone wise, because the compressor is helping you hear the eq move without the volume difference, which is what auto gain is also trying to do. obviously there will be differences because auto gain is not a compressor, but the claim in the beginning of the video that when you boost the low end that the mid range is not changing AT ALL is kind of misleading, because in reality doing a cut move on everything other than the low end is the same thing as boosting the low end. the stuff about how boosting certain frequencies changes how the compressor reacts is true tho, just it makes more sense to do it with the side chaining feature if thats what your mainly after. its just super important to listen to everything you do at equal gain and i think thats important for everyone to keep in mind while mixing. i know colt knows this and i think he even mentioned it in an eq video a long time ago but i guess was mis spoken in this video regarding that part.

Honestly, this doesn't even matter because every speaker is different. Magic is in the midrange anyway but if you're listening to this on shitty speakers with barely any bass, it won't matter. Also has everything to do with how your factory EQ is set in your car or home stereo. To each their own, but I think EQing before or after, really won't make a difference.
