Loved the tips-can’t wait to try them out!

[@lturner7159]

Wow, thank you this is phenomenal 🔥

[@josevega12093]

Great teacher ! Love the details

Great tips,thanks for sharing!

Inverted phase on a De-esser is so damn crazy😭🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SchibbiSchibbi]

I tried it and just setting up the inverted phase method takes much longer than throwing a de-esser... definitely complicating things here on purpose

[@R-Zeta]

@SchibbiSchibbi well obviously it takes longer to set up. It's meant as an alternative for the regular way if the regular way doesn't work. I've already used the inverted phase method a few times since I said that. Definitely use the regular method for ur average situation. But I've had clients with TERRIBLE mic quality. So, instead of trying to throw a million eqs and de-essers to try and balance it out, I inverted the phase of the sibalance's region. Some mics just can't be mixed normally. Mixing is very relative, and no song is the same. There will always be something u have to do differently. So try to obtain as many alternatives as possible. The more tools u have, the more unstoppable you'll be as an engineer.💙✨️

the words in the song like secondhand cigarette smoke, have another hit of fresh air, piercing the veil

[@wagnerbertolino2]

Thank you so much

[@DJONTHETRACK985]

Ngl i learned some game changing info from u, appreciate u

[@sageaudio]

Thank you! Great to hear this one was helpful

[@rossbalch]

Plugin Boutique has the Scaler EQ now which does key specific EQ. Haven't had chance to play with it yet but seems like a cool idea.

[@incognegro2200]

That 2k low shelf is crazy good!

[@Six2Nine]

Scientific broooo!❤

[@NotBaghdady]

I wish that you can explain more simpler I don’t need this expensive words to understand what eq is with luv 💙

[@nishikhen]

Great tips!! is that you singing?

[@musicmyeverything2495]

Please do a full tutorial on tuning with eq. I need it please

[@lillightstruck5378]

is it better to use additive eq before or after compression for vocals?

[@turtlesquirtle7393]

Always wondered if FL stock equalizer can compete with the Fabfilter? Would the end product of mastering your track change drastically?

[@waliddeui6725]

3:35 should we do that on a full mix to make it a bit "lite" and pleasing to listen to

[@sageaudio]

You could try it! Probably best to keep it subtle though. Thanks for watching!

[@waliddeui6725]

@@sageaudio got it thanks

[@TheMelodicMonk]

can i listen to the full song you used here? If yes, tell me the name.

[@ilusions4]

interested as well

[@samsam2235]

Damn, your knowledge is endless.

[@loveit8602]

I know! How did he acquire all this knowledge??

❤❤❤❤

[@canuckproducer8446]

I just went on their website and listened to part of a promotional vid. Loaded with P pops (plosives). And my room is flat. Tells me enough.

[@Rocknrolldaddy81-xy8ur]

That’s you singing. Nice job.

[@sageaudio]

A younger version yeah haha. Thanks for watching!

[@thelinkofperfectioncharity9469]

I end up realizingbthat all my equalisation curves looks like Low or high shelves

[@nxghtmane8275]

Aye, i am first out here. I bet this video is great

[@cinex5114]

He does sound like the realest puppet in the game 😉🙃

[@user-mu6uy6ly6e]

And the answer to how to use eq to make the vocal sound GOOD is definitely not dipping 300hz and increasing 3khz😂

[@phinn9823]

Depends on a case to case basis, but it doesn't sound ridiculous.

[@user-mu6uy6ly6e]

@@phinn9823 yea the answer is really “it depends”. Vocal can lose clarity if like 200hz or 400hz is too much and it can also sound bad if you have excessive 3khz so it’s pointless.

[@audioglenngineer]

It could be. That’s the point - how those frequency ranges affect our perception of the voice, rather than “always do this move.” That’s the way I take it anyhow.

[@hcl8836]

He said to create more clearity (if needed) these frequencies are the starting points … but how much gain shift you use on a certain track or instrument at these frequencies depends on the source material :)

[@user-mu6uy6ly6e]

@@hcl8836 if you have something like exccesive 400hz masked higher frequency no matter how much you boost 3khz the sound would just be more harsh

The flipped phase De-esser is how SPL Hardware De-esser works

[@steppabanton9753]

I once did unintentionally. I liked it though I wasn't confident enough. I thought my ears were tricking me or something.

[@familydiscount-ne5nz]

I love me a good Cheesecake Factory fuck is you talkin bout 😂you so fire 😍👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾….

[@SchibbiSchibbi]

not a fan of duplicating + inverting phase track. Come one guys, there are de-esser, Sidechained methods... in order to keep workflow simple. Sage audio is bloating things up for content lately :(
