Just the kind of clear, concise and, most of all, useful tutorial the subject calls for. Virtually everyone has or deals with voices that might not be a perfect fit for this mic or that signal chain. Nobody has an infinite microphone locker. But everyone has ears. This provides a great guide for using them. It's also a nice antidote to the temptation of wasting time and money chasing some holy grail microphone. There isn't one. And while you obviously cannot turn a Blue Yeti into a U87, you can certainly make most voices fit most mics well enough to be pleasing and credible to most listeners. Thanks, again, for underscoring that sometimes overlooked idea.

More great stuff from Curtis. My only caution for others with less experience than him would be that sweeping a large, narrow boost around will tend to sound unpleasant at all frequencies and could lead you to believe they all need to be cut. Perhaps best to listen carefully for problems, try to imagine where they might sit and then go looking very specifically for that region.
@curtisjudd
@curtisjudd 4 жыл бұрын
Agreed, thanks Ben. Don't boost more than 9dB and keep in mind that while moving, things will sound sort of phase-y. Listen for the most harsh frequencies and only cut those.

@@DesertCookie It is important to do corrective EQ first - reduce the harsh resonances. Many people working with EQ for the first time generally try to boost bass or treble first but end up not removing the bad resonances, making the problem even worse. The general idea: Use cuts first.

I enjoy your channel because you don't have your voice adjusted too bassy. We're conditioned as listeners in this decade to expect voices to be deeper so natural is out of favour and sounds thin online. In the sixties I started meeting several of the radio announcers working in Toronto and they were all about 4 inches shorter and 30 lbs. lighter than what I was expecting :) And that was just the AM guys. In the 70's the FM announcers sounded like James Earl Jones. I could spin into a rant about the abuse on KZbin of the SM7B with EQ. Good EQ is possible like you demonstrate. I used to get unintentionally pranked in a sound room because they had my director's voice so dialed in that myself and others would "talk" to him thinking he was behind a door and there was no one there. It was the playback of his voice overs. Even the guy who did the original recording and mixing got confused sometimes.

It's a better video explanation than I expected, I like that you explained cutting the start and end and raising those points for testing purposes, clever identification, but you lost me when you began winging it with levels at seemingly random parts. You know what you're doing and a professional I'd assume but from the outside you lost me halfway, I will try this in APO if it even exists natively, but now I need yet another video to show how to do that. Only place I've seen this equalizer was in Voicemeeter. I appreciate you didn't waffle on and kept to the subject.

Thanks for the feedback! It takes a little practice but you'll get it. The important thing is to boost by 9dB and move that back and forth, pausing at various frequencies to listen for distortion or extreme harshness. Then you know you need to cut there. Apply a cut and experiment with how much of a cut you want until is sounds good to your ears.

Been importing past talking head video footage...like one scene of this talent, one scene of another on-screen talent, and so on. I'm on the 6th voice, and have many more to go. They were all recorded with the same entry-level boom mic (Rode VideoMic Pro), within 1-2 ft of subject. Although the mic is a cheaper mic, it seems to do a pretty decent job (little bass heavy for some talent). Curtis, this has been such a fun exercise.

When I started learning a lot of what I read said to do your cuts in one EQ then compress then do any boost you need to do in a separate EQ. My FX chain is usually EQ(cuts)->saturation->compression->EQ(boost)->de-esser->gate.

Very helpful video thanks Curtis. As an aside, yesterday I got some new headphones and literally the first thing I did (and have done in the past) is listen to some of your most recent microphone comparison vids, there a great way of getting an idea of quality of sound 😃

Thank you so much! I've been toying with my voice-over for a few days, and it never sounded quite right to me. There was always something either kind of pithy or muddy, or nasally like you improve one thing and then the other gets worse :D But after your explanation of how to properly use the EQ I feel like I might just have found a nice-sounding result for my voice. Finally :D

I think it's important to note that this is a lot easier to do with a voice that you are familiar with. While the before/after effect is pretty clear in this demonstration, it's not so easy to pick out the changes while you sweep a narrow peak up and down. But it wil be more obvious with a voice you have time working with before, because you'll have a better sense of what does and doesn't sound natural to it.

Hi Curtis. For someone wanting to improve dialogue on a live stream, would the 833 be the ticket? From my understanding it offers compression and some EQ so I'd be able to improve dialogue live without having to add an additional piece of hardware. Granted it's an expensive way to achieve this but should work. What do you think?
@curtisjudd
@curtisjudd 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Ron, sure, the 833 could certainly do the job for a hefty price, but if you've already got it, this is definitely another thing it can do. I used my 888 for a livestream a couple of weeks ago. That isn't my normal mixer for live streaming but it fit the bill for that particular show.
@RonHenry
@RonHenry 4 жыл бұрын
@@curtisjudd thank you for the quick response Curtis. I already have a MixPre for my run and gun audio. I'm looking for something a bit more full featured to use for my livestreams as well as giving me a bit of kit that has a lot more capability than the MixPre. The 833 is definitely overkill but it saves me from having to buy a separate recording device and mixer. I tried the software route and was having sync issues. The 833 should be the mixer to end all mixers for live streaming. Buy once cry once right? :-)

Sometimes it helps to pause and listen to a reference track - a dialogue recording you've heard many times. Switch back and forth between them and that usually "resets" one's ears.

I'm late to this party. Thanks for the video! Now I have to explore the mysteries of Resolve 16 and Fairlight. I truly appreciate your professional presentation. Far too many think those who seek knowledge want to be bombarded with zany antics and madcap misadventures packaged in a quasi-vlog. Second timers like me know there are problems with voice and sound, but no idea how to address it outside of throwing darts. Thanks to this video, I have a foundation! In some of the comments, they mentioned "cut." Perhaps a follow up? Cheers!
