Best explanation of how unmasking, cut the fundamental of the instruments sound to differentiate between the sound my Bass and kick about to be popping lol, thank you, great info.

Great vid! Straight to the point.

Great lesson thx 👍

[@Faraday100]

You give a really clear explanation at a base level. And for once, it is not with EDM or heavy metal. Please put more when you have the time. Thank you.

Amazing Video Sir ❤Thank you so much 🙏

Fascinating analysis and great presentation

[@PocketSunlight]

Nice explanation

[@rossnwilliams]

That was great. I noticed that the clarinet is strong on the odd harmonics and the oboe is strong on all the harmonics, so I guess the clarinet is more square wavey and the oboe is more sawtooth wavey.

[@themixhelper]

Interesting observation. I’ll have a look with a scope. See if we can see this in the waveform.

Nice video my friend ! Very well done

[@GreyFieldVEVO]

Thank you very much for your video. I have some libraries that sound very flat with respect to the real instruments and I would like to know if it would be possible to apply an equalization that moves adapting to the tones that the instrument plays every moment. Is this possible?

[@themixhelper]

Yes, it is possible. Are you familiar with how to use automation in DAWs? You can automate EQ filters to do what you describe. If you want to discuss this further, drop me an email to [e-mail] and we could keep on discussing this.
