Such a great video. Had similar questions about this a couple of years ago and found v little content on it 🔥

[@simonfma7273]

Excellent and very informative, thank you!

[@tristanishtar8906]

Excellent video! Probably the most clear explanation of the difference between these two plugins. Thank you!

[@cryptoram4203]

great tutorial I thought they were doing the same thing but I noticed they didnt sound the same. Glad you clear up the differences. Really impressed with the plugin doctor.

[@embulus75]

tnx man! nice explanation/solution of a big deal!

[@kikemizurov3597]

That last bit for the Kick Drum and the Bass with the Dynamic Compressor is what I was looking for :) Thank you. My Bass tends to variate too much from Note to note on the low frequencies but I want to keep the rest of the Frequencies alive so this way I don't need to compress everything too much and the bass flows through

[@Kevin35912]

Great video ! Never seen anything about this and I had a fellow engineer tell me they were different and i didn't believe it ! Thanks for this, super helpful!

[@Pyrokingz16]

clear and informative thank you treating 808s and kicks in a mix would be a great tutorial i am interested to see how you would go about it

[@believenella]

Awesome! thank you for a great video explanation.

[@alfiecrous7648]

Awsome Bobby!, Here from Cape Town. I'm in this business 30 years, and Im still learning from you. Thanks.

[@tgstk2]

you're vids always make me go.. WTF!! why didn't i knew this 10 years earlier?? this is so freaking awesome!

[@RaytownProductions]

Haha thanks so much! I wish I knew this 10 years ago as well!!

[@ArmchairRamb0]

Thanks, this is a really helpful video! I'm subbing, good channel.

[@shyboy2112]

Thank you for all this valuable information

[@DJUwU]

I know it sounds weird...but I almost never use Multiband compression until its the mixing/mastering stage of the production. I kind of have fell in love with F6 RTA dynamic cuts into Transient Response into SSL Channel strip into 1176 into FX Sends combo. ...except with EDM sounds...but most of the time I just use whatever multiband compressor preset is in the FX section of the VST

[@brawlerbrawler6526]

I appreciate all you do Bobby. I use F6 dynamic mode all the time for more transparent surgical work on all instruments. I tend to use c6 multiband for tonal shaping a vocal. Great vid. 👍 many thanks.

[@LosFicosMusic]

Same Here followed By the BEST UNDERRATED LIMITER "DMG LIMITLESS"

[@Tunafishloverr]

This the video I was looking for

[@MuthaGoose]

I almost always use a multi-band compressor for chugging guitars, but will always reach for a dynamic EQ at the master buss level if there is a low freq build up, or if the cymbals are getting out of hand. Dynamic EQ is also very useful for some singers that sound a little shrill when they push.

[@Enice43]

Excellent

[@KeepTheGates]

Been waiting on a video with a proper explanation of this. I have a basic understanding, but I feel like I'm still lacking. I need to watch this when I get off of work.

[@RaytownProductions]

Hope it's helpful! Cheers!

[@Anders01]

I recently started using multiband compression on vocals and like what it could do to the sound. I was less impressed when I tried it on the master chain, but maybe that takes more practice to get right.

[@nomoimusic3096]

I usually use a multiband compressor in sidechain mode for groups, for example to let the fundamental of the snare pass through guitar or whatever... would it be more appropriate to use dynamic eq for this task? if i tend to go to multiband is for it´s more flexible and control of parameters (fabfilter MB) What you think? thanks!

[@Artinmotionmusic]

As a cubase user do you use the steinberg plug in frequency as dynamic eq or do you prefer a third party ?

[@heavyvibrationstudiopl3256]

I used to put C4 on guitar bus to control palm mutes.But i have found out that even if all is on zero this Waves C4 changes tone of guitar sound.And i know it was not the issue some time ago.Now it is.

[@heavymetalmixer91]

Note: There's dynamic EQs out there that do work with ratios, like TDR NOVA.

[@RaytownProductions]

Man, that makes the differences between the two even harder to distinguish lol!

[@kowloonbroadcast]

Yeah, there’s another one from ToneBoosters called just “Equaliser” and it’s possible to set ratios for the bands as well as to set the bands to “downward compression” and “upward compression” modes. how crazy is that lol? but anyway, it’s a great powerful tool from a fairly respected developer, i seem to like it

[@joshd265]

Are the stems for this track available anywhere?

[@metalfather8139]

Ya man your right...I've always hears c4 c6 or c100000 change guitar sound in ways that seem voodoo

[@exhaust4246]

When to use linear phase and when to not?

[@idane1234]

great

[@cmrsonics]

good video but i never got this type of music

[@manishwagh5798]

What about using c6 external when some frequencies affecting main vocals? Is it a good idea?😊

[@RaytownProductions]

I do this all the time :) Send the voice to the sidechain input on either the F6 or C6 plugins to remove some frequencies when the vocal are present.

[@poltergeist_16]

What you think about Drawmer 1973?

[@RaytownProductions]

Never tried it! Might need to add it to the list 🙂

[@peterross2063]

On bass, I like sidechaining a dynamic EQ to the kick at around 75-100 or so. Unless it's a faster song, then this just sounds like trash :P

[@VillageIdiot.]

Do you keep track of your email? cos I sent you one asking for some help :P

[@RaytownProductions]

Replied :)

[@J3unG]

Quick tip: use dynamic EQ only. Forget mb compression. You don't need it.

[@RaytownProductions]

Why do you say that? Just curious :)

[@Andybaby]

This video assumes people know what you mean by 'phase'

[@BasariStudios]

Dynamic EQ Bland and Static? I think you mixed up Static vs Dynamic EQ. Key Word, DYNAMIC.

[@vladpetrovsky8674]

The mapping engineer thought it was the same thing???!!! I can imagine what kind of “engineer” you are ((((
