Sound Design Theory: Filters and EQ explained!

[@EvilNeonETC]

This, hilariously was more worth my 13 minutes to watch than deadmau5's $99 masterclass. As funny as that sounds, it's sadly true.

[@wolfgang4468]

Frankly, I would have guessed so :(

[@HunnitAcreWoods]

I definitely ripped deadmau5 master class... and Timbaland's KZbin university student

[@steamer2k319]

I haven't taken the class but that's kind of what I would expect. This is a basics/fundamentals class (a really good one within the domain of synthesis / sound-design). A 'master' class would assume you already have a journeyman level of understanding. It would focus on the esoteric and subtle but hard-won tricks that will take you from being better than 98% of other producers to being better than 99%. There's also the Green Lumber Fallacy--where some details don't matter as much as one would expect in terms of satisfying a market. I suppose it could also be: "I have no idea what I'm actually doing (LOL) but I stumbled onto something that people like". FWIW, Deadmau5 seems like someone who's at least capable of understanding the fundamentals. You're right that this series is awesome and probably a much better value for most people.

[@Hoptronics]

My brother gave me the master class premium or whatever for Christmas. I've been going through that one. Also on Spotify Synth Design is good.. I know it's 2yrs later. :)

[@equinoxambient]

Damn 😂

[@johnjohnjohnh]

how, does this only have 1.7k views???? This is an absolute goldmine of knowledge. THANK YOU

[@AlchemicalArtist]

Fantastic video and really great reference for sound design. I spent so much time trying to figure all of this out when I started in sound design and would've loved a resource like this. I'm definitely saving this video for future reference and as one I recommend. Thank you!

[@CuriousPassenger]

Top quality content. Hope you get more recognition.

[@noperiest8320]

Man this is the best tutorial video for sound design thx mate

[@equinoxambient]

This video is equivalent to saying “here are the logo pieces you need” when most other tutorials on sound design are like “look at this picture of the Lego set I built and just copy that” Awesome video.

[@Woochia]

Exactly my thoughts when I wanted to start this series :)

[@goldenmushrooms48]

i love your voice and the information you shared. thank you !

[@alfiemaurice5195]

i spent an hour going through this making notes to learn more about filters. great vid!

[@nikakebuladze]

You are one amazing fella giving that kind of explanation and knowledge for free

[@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69]

I've been doing this for awhile in fact years and was able to learn something new from this video. Thanks.

[@voa23]

What a superb video and excellent detailed explanation.

[@3SICKsty]

I was curious about the difference between EQ and filters. After watching this I feel both smarter and overwhelmed. The quality of the video was honestly 10/10 and I was expecting it must for sure have a few thousand likes

[@3lihsn367]

Your videos are very helpful, thank you so much

[@eg0579]

informative, and straight to the point. amazing video 👍

[@silesia93]

I'm so glad I found this channel!👍

i like the song at the end! as well as tutorials ofcourse😁😁😁

[@Woochia]

Thanks :) that's an old song I made mashing up 2 even older songs ^^ kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYekZZWcqLZ3oKssi=yMnkSJytZFJOpUcb

Superbes explications, sur les Eq c’est super complet merci

[@Woochia]

Merci beaucoup :)

[@wolfgang4468]

You have a very good way of showing what is really the gist of the matter! Thanks for all your effort, very much appreciated!

[@Gravity_alert]

I absolutely love all your videos! Exactly what I was looking for years!

[@Woochia]

Thank you! I happy to see this is useful:)

[@morpheon_xyz]

Thanks for the explanations. I just had a question pop up in my mind where I thought that I could use a parametric EQ as a filter, and technically speaking I can, but it requires some work to set up as you've shown with using bandpass filters to create format filters and using macros etc. Very interesting, thank you

[@Woochia]

If you're looking for some formant filters, I made a free filter pack for Ableton live. It's a collection of effect racks with some EQ8 in them so you don't have to set it up yourself. It's on my website woochia.com

[@morpheon_xyz]

@@Woochia thanks man, appreciate it. I'm actually an FL Studio user, but your videos definitely helps a lot and is informative enough to actually make sense of everything. Keep up the great tutorials and explanations 🙌

Ahh man , I recently complete music theory. What should I learn next, sound design or anything else??

[@adrian280861]

That's great ,Thx

[@HunnitAcreWoods]

Does Anybody Know What The "bw (Hz)" on the formant chart is measuring??

[@musmerized658]

Great video.

[@Woochia]

Thanks!

[@hoetre]

This video is amazing as an example on how signal processing can be applied in real life (I'm currently teaching convolution, Fourier transform and so on, and I wanna show how this can be used in practice in a direct way to my students. Thanks for the content, it is truly impressive.

[@norfirdausbintizakariamuha2182]

Yes! agreed me either.. very helpful in my class .. thanks for a really good content for us ...

[@JordieGeorge]

Great video! How did you create that feedback comb filter with macros at 6:04?

[@Woochia]

I used an EQ8 (two actually) and mapped each point to macros knobs, and adjusted the values so they move as a comb. This is part of a free pack you can get on my website if you want to see how it's made. It's woochia.com

[@cleacleaclea8462]

Great tutorial, thanks. Please, how did you set up the Macro so that it cycled through the chains in the Effect Rack at 8:09 ?

[@Woochia]

That's in the effect rack. When you extend the chains, you can link the macro to the chain selector. The macro knob goes from 0 to 127, and for each chain you can set it to be active for specific ranges. It's represented as block that you can extend or shrink (it would be easier with a screenshot to show you)

[@cleacleaclea8462]

@@Woochia Thank you ! I did some research after finding this video and I'm pretty sure i know how to do it now :) Thanks again

6:33 Dr. Who

[@SPG8400]

First of all, THANKS for this videos i love u. At last, wanted to point out something that maybe i might be taking wrong but i think the Q is more about the withd of the curve of the EQ filter, like how steep (measured in dBs per octave) the boost or drop of the gain is, and the resonance is more about how much gain are you puting to the cut frecuency (and usually, it has a predeterminated Q) so they ain't the same thing, am i wrong?

[@Woochia]

The steepness of a filter is indeed expressed in dB per octave, but this is not the Q. The Q is used for resonator where it is the ratio between the energy stored and the energy lost in an oscilators cycle. The higher the Q the more resonant the thing is. So if slightly differents, A and resonance can pretty luch be used quite interchangeably

[@Scol1]

hey man, i have a questionm this has cardioid filter? in my house there is a lot of noises and i cant rec

[@Woochia]

What is a cardioid filter ? You may be talking about a cardioid mic. That's a mic that takes the sound more from the front than from the back, so yes that's a good type to record at home (so the noise coming from the back of the mic is reduced). But what kind of noise are you talking about ? Noisy street ? Or reverb in the room ? Maybe I have a video about cheap acoustic panel that could make (those are not the best acoustic panel I'll tell you, but they're cheap and easy to make)

[@OlcayDemirci]

Hi Im searching for an EQ WITH HARMONIC FILTERING like Rodger Nichols Digital UNIQUALISER (no x64 vers so I cant use it anymore) Any help appreciated

[@Woochia]

I have to check that, but you're looking for a filter to cut a frequency and the harmonic series of that frequency ? That can be a comb filter. I've made a free collection of filters for Ableton live if you want to try it (it's all effect racks, so no need for max for live). It's on my website woochia.com

[@victorfunnyman]

I can't seem to access the formant table anymore :( Is there any place I could have it? or any filter presets to use?

[@Woochia]

You can find formant filters in the pack of Ableton filter I made, that you can download for free on my website woochia.com. Check the "freebies" page

[@victorfunnyman]

@@Woochia I am on FL Studio though :( but thank you! I'd still like the sheet if you somehow have it somewhere

[@mrzero3082]

I have an audio file from 2004 recorded in 8 simple rate and 16 kbps and this audio have a weird noise how can i remove the noise **i think the noise Because it recoreded in 8 simple rate and 16 kbps

[@Woochia]

If is has a part with silence, where you can hear only the noise, you can try audacity's noise reducer :/ it's free

[@mrzero3082]

@@Woochia after i searched the problem was from the low kbps, you can try convert any audio to low kbs and will understand what i mean
