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.
@curtisjudd4 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.

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.

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.

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.

Glad it helped! Listen for harsh, sometimes whistling types of distortion. Unpleasantness in general.

I've noticed that when my ears become accustomed to looking for those frequencies, I start hearing imperfections even after I've gotten rid of said frequencies. It's weird.

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.

Awesome video allthough I still don't get how I can find a frequency that sounds bad. Whats the criteria? What makes a frequency sound bad?

Listen for what sounds harsher or less pleasant than other frequencies.

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!
