GML 8200 Walkthrough by George Massenburg Presented by RyanSloan.net

This is absolutely without a doubt my favorite EQ on the market. Every commercial studio should have one and anybody with a home studio that can afford one needs one as well.
I think a lot of people can get into trouble with EQ's that leave their mixes sounding less than ideal but the 8200 will make your tracks sound better even if you're using it in a way that's not normal. Absolutely incredible.

I just had a lesson from a Jedi

[@joelonsdale]

Brilliant demonstration of a) how to surgically remove horrid frequencies; b) how good hardware sounds; c) how good George Massenburg's ears are and lastly d) how much I still have to learn.

[@anthonyman8008]

how are you coming along?

[@joelonsdale]

@@anthonyman8008 Hah! 8 year old comment! Coming along great! Got a master's degree in audio engineering and running a studio as a producer!

[@anthonyman8008]

@@joelonsdale 😮 WOW! I'm just starting out! Where's your studio? I wanna come check it out! So awesome! Oh you're in England, well aleast you're posting!

It's like he's 'healing' the recording.

looool

[@Dablessingproduction]

It's a miracle

[@davidmaraisthecampfireguit2596]

The God of EQ. Brilliant.

[@mr.taylor6418]

I still come back to this video, such a beautiful lesson..makes me love my job even more...

[@HalSamuel]

Also.. man, this is how you use an EQ. Such a natural musical process that he's going through.

[@youmilkpack]

Wow he knew it was at about 2k without checking. Awesome

[@costinvaly1]

+Christian Angelo Nilsén That becomes easy when you mix on a constant basis for a long time. I can pick that up too and i'm only 23 years old. I'm constantly mixing and mastering daily for my clients and the constant amount of orders are good thing for me. I've never been overwhelmend by too many deals or to be sad about the lack of "vacations", that's because i'm getting better in a much more quicker way if i don't lose my focus. You should try it though. Make/mix music constantly and you're easily going to pick frequencies out.

[@youmilkpack]

+costinvaly1 I am, writing and producing all the time. Can't pick freq yet. But I sweep! :)

[@cliftoncameron5632]

Inspiring, revealing, and unabridged. A gift. Thank you for sharing. It takes a Lifetime, we all have scratched the surface.

[@XS10SEALS]

Really nice demonstration! Thank you for this video.

[@donkeyfacekilla1]

Could watch him do this all day! Learning so much

[@nocastus]

Very good. Best example I’ve seen on YT of how eq works in the real world. Not just “how do we make this instrument sound good?” but “how do we make this fit with the other elements in the mix”. And the GML8200 is an incomparably good bit of kit.

[@mr.taylor6418]

THIS GUY JUST MADE ME FIGURE SOMETHING OUT FOR MY VOCALS...

[@effyiew7318]

Hear that? I do. Bet your artist does, too. Worth it to watch this video just for that. The positive affirmation, along with the new agey piano is absolute gold. I never felt so at peace with the universe.

[@nogoogleplus]

Must be nice to be a friggin' genius.

[@deetgeluid]

Typical case of "masking". Very well explained.

[@mixroomonestudioengineerin2176]

I got a 8200 and refurbished it. Placed buffercaps on the power rail inside the EQ, because i don't want the PSU cable and connector to ever degrade the power. And i must say, after beeing very sceptical, that i really fell in deep love with the GML8200! Its an eye opener! Or Ear opener! :-)

[@RTCLR123]

Happy man! How often would you use it?

[@ryanshook8284]

Wow I would love to read and understand more about this. Do you mean that you don’t want it to affect the sound and how the unit works? Or do you mean that it might cumulatively degrade how long the electronics lasts itself? Or both. I would like to understand this and know if this is a worthwhile mod if I was to acquire a GML down the line. Thanks for your time.

[@engendrox]

freaking GENIUS!!!

[@Vossflying]

Golden ears. Beautiful lesson

[@Donato2082]

OMG... it sounds amazing!!!

[@sneakykebab]

Awesome guy & EQ!

[@johnnymassacre]

Ummm ... this guy is clearly the world's genius of EQ. In 2 minutes I learned more from this than years of fucking around myself.

[@retop56]

This guy is a certified G. Crazy ear!

[@recordingreview]

Great video. I didn't expect notching peaks with a parametric to be so uplifting. It's amazing what the background music does. It's awesome hearing him sweep the frequency band. It has a similar thing to my Moog Voyager's filter that I haven't heard yet in plugin land.

[@Lucy-dx7vc]

brilliant! such a gifted man

[@mattshadetek]

absolutely terrific

[@rogergabalda]

amazing lesson!!

[@thisisyaren]

this is a real eq....

thanks George

[@eradubbo]

amazing guy

[@mr.taylor6418]

EPIC LESSON...

[@jtpinnyc]

It's a pity this video has such low audio quality because it makes it so much harder to hear the full effect of the EQ he's doing.

[@carpballet]

jnyc It wouldn’t hurt if he would tell us what he’s doing and then stop talking, either.

[@BorysPomianek]

Man are these beautifully designed devices - such a shame GML is not in business anymore ;(

[@SiLoMixMaster]

The GML is adding some serious width to the piano as well, most likely due to the accuracy of the pots not being identical on each side, but still it adds some nice mojo

[@KingCoCo]

Wow that is impressive! I'm buying the Acustica version!

[@deanmccormick7347]

Tim Petherick's N4 Nebula version (SURGE) is sick.

[@HandsUpDK]

God dammit he's good!

[@thaStorMaj]

That piano + vocals = so beautiful! Is there a song with those 2, or was it only a demo for this EQing video?

[@facksvillain2296]

This guy is great. Anybody have the name of the studio or the man himself?

[@nicolaloverre4524]

George Massemburg, engineer and designer of the GML equipment he is showing in the video. As to the studio, sorry, have no idea.

[@keiran110]

Nicola Loverre​ thanks! It's fascinating to watch him.

[@nicolaloverre4524]

I didn't even notice that there was something wrong with the eq'ing until he showed us in the video. This guy has golden ears.

[@narco73]

Ciaran DeCeol works a lot at blackbird studio in nashville

[@BenJ.G]

Mr. Massenburg really does have incredible ears. He literally wrote the book on parametric EQ in the AES journal back in the day.
