CORRECTION: I said I sang an A at 440 but I actually sang an A an octave below 440 at 220 so the harmonica are above NOT below!!

[@saintjohn8537]

What’s your price for mix and master man?

[@UziBlancoOfficial]

Bro im sure you probably get this all the time, but do you charge to listen to people's songs an give them some feedback on there mix/master??

[@mikeingrassia7505]

I heard something about Quincy Jones disagreeing about the modern placement of the A note? Do you know what I'm talking about here?

[@danielrennie8444]

Thank you! I noticed that and was gonna say something, but you beat me to it! Well done!

[@andidrogynous7347]

I’ve got a pretty good understanding of EQ, but I’m watching this anyway because…hello, it’s Nathan James Larsen. Who’s to say he can’t teach me something new?

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Haha! Appreciate it! 🙌🏻

[@everyonesalama4447]

Your videos are all very clear and really helpful, just wanted to let you know that I appreciate it very much! cheers mate

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

I also use EQ modulation to make a nice high pass low pass filter that changes in lead melodys. By moving the bell up and down the spectrum and recording the movements. It's best to have a second bell modulation moving around to reduce peaks that might clip. I do it in nearly every song I make to a greater or lesser extent.

[@jasonkeyes6706]

Love the way you explain things! Very helpful😄👌 I always look forward to new videos!

[@indikabeats]

great video, love the way you explain everything so its straightforward and to the point

[@AphroLatinX]

I had to check the play back speed because of how much good info i got in such a short time, great vid

[@definfected]

Excellent vid!! Keep them coming bro!! Much ❤ Nathan!!

[@timworley8306]

Ok, Nathan, you've got me. My EQ'ing totally looks like a topographical map with all the "surgical cuts" I've been making due to sweeping and boosting to find "bad frequencies :) I might need to cut back on the sonic surgery haha. Really appreciated this, even as I've been working on this stuff for a few years now.

[@itamar7786]

Thanks man, that's really helpful

[@MikolowBeats]

This is a beautiful explanation of EQ

[@EdShank]

Thank you for making this video! It took me a while to find something that was plain and simple for people just getting started. You nailed it!

[@moosa2018]

agreed 100% i watched like 4 videos before this, but none were as simple and clear at explaining as this one

[@maiabuljeta5749]

This is so helpful! Thank you!

[@Raph.q]

Great vids

[@user-um9bt9br6m]

awesome vid mate where did you get that studio light from in the background please let me know cheers i subscribed to you

[@DanielDeakin]

really clear

[@instrumentalmusic68]

Thanks Nathan for your informative video. Can you please clear up my confusion on where to EQ from. Should I EQ on each instrumental track, or from the master track? If adjusting frequencies on the overall master mix, how can an individual instrument be isolated from the main mix ? Thanks Nathan for clearing up confusion.

[@writewithangel]

Thank you Nathan I really needed this video.

[@masthodp7043]

very good video

[@MishMishMusic]

Thank you :)

[@sumitsolanki3912]

Great Video Nathan

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Thank you! 💪💪

[@adammaznev4069]

Please do a mid side eq video :)

[@hassanjanoudi]

Thank you Nathan for this valuable video. As a beginner producer I feel like I need an experienced musician to judge my musical compositions since I’m still not well versed in music theory. It just feel like what I compose is completely bland and lacks. What is your take on this and what are some places I can go to find these kinds of mentors.

[@STILLEGIT]

I know a mentor that could help you.

[@dawnwhitney2975]

I’m working with virtual orchestral instruments in Logic. Should I approach EQ just as I would live instruments? I’m hoping to make it easy on myself. I’m a beginner.

[@rickmayer4002]

Good some substance maybe can learn some something. Do you go into depth like masking phase etc.

[@UziBlancoOfficial]

Aine no click baity type video 😂 .. My boy ain't bout cheaten to get views, he let's the music speak for itself!! Much Love my brother!! 🤙🏼❤️💛💚🤙🏼

[@21stCenturySin]

Great vid! Clear & concise. I was wondering, couldn’t find this info online or in the Logic Pro EQ manual. Can you solo a certain band of the EQ to hear just how that frequency band sounds for the audio region it’s on? Or is that only something that the Multiband Compressor can do? Thank you!

[@LUGG824]

Not sure about the Logic EQ, but you can in the Ableton EQ and the FabFilter Q3

[@JollyG1997]

Bro how will we get to know the exact frequency number we are singing? as you said 220?

[@coyoteserranoband]

Thanks! I put it on .05x speed so it was more than 10 mins.

[@djvail322]

Do you do any audio consulting?

[@isaiahjones3830]

Best video about mixing I’ve seen on KZbin. 🙌🏾🙏🏾

[@shashabey]

How do you get from eq page back to template page? Now when the project is opened it opens in eq page. Help

[@Rio-uv1gs]

Haven't seen you on ytube for minute..I hope you're not disappearing on us.

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Nope not disappearing! We have a ton of new content in the works - end of the year was rough for me health-wise so I had to take a bit of a break and focus on other things.

[@davidkapopo4938]

Foreshadowing

[@directordnb]

Nice video! I think the track running in the background is unnecessary/annoying tho

[@FoneChan15]

PRECISE!

[@marcelocosta1233]

Hey man, Thank you for. your video. It's great but the background music is really annoying!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@bruno_mart]

This looks like a rabbit hole

[@dennisschuetzeband]

You were singing a 220 A, 440 is the first harmonic tone above. There are no harmonics below.

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Yep - that was an oversight - good correction. There additional harmonics ABOVE.

[@FollowTheSpidersxo]

r u canadian?

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Nope

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

American

[@davidcarr2308]

[@ReyBanYAHUAH]

Hello beloved always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins! Come to HIM Today. Much love!

[@BrandiLynnColonMusic]

🙌🥳

[@davidcarr2308]

u hurt my head. just show the picture graph.

[@adc5698]

I have a question.. The green dot for example, it affects that range of frequencies but i am able to move it until 20 k , why??
