With the Spectral Profile set to "Flat", TEOTE adjusts the eq curve to the selected slope similar to EQing using pink and brown noise as references. The slop of pink is -3db/oct, brown is -6db/oct, and 4.5db/oct, in between pink and brown, which is perhaps closer to most pop music. (White noise has no slope at 0db/oct). Pink noise generators, such as Credland Audio's free Pink vst, can be turned into -6db/oct and -4.5db/oct noise by using a tilt eq such as the free sTiltV2 after it. The mix can be visually compared to particular sloped noise using a free spectrum analyzer such as Voxengo's Span. The advantage of TEOTE is that it does this effortlessly in real-time, and only when it is needed. The potential disadvantage is that it may introduce artifacts from the extra processing of multiband compression compared to static EQ adjustments. As usual, we have to let our ears make the ultimate choice--sometimes a combination of both may give the best results--e.g., static EQ referenced to noise (or a track) plus TEOTE. Some Dynamic EQs have EQ matching-to-noise built-in such as the TDR NOVA GE, which has a max of 6 bands, but they may not give as precise results as TEOTE which has a max of 64. However, my inclination is to use as little compression as possible on my mainly acoustic mixes, so I generally prefer static EQ. The other Spectral Profile options, EQLOUD and EQL+Rock adjust the flat EQ a little. Running pink noise through a spectral analyzer with Spectral Profile Slope adjusted to -3db/oct. most obviously, I see that the EQLOUD bumps the curve around 60hz, 1.5khz and 10khz. EQL+Rocks adds an additional bump around 3.5khz.

Could you please also talk about the difference to Gullfoss and the Ozone Master EQ (with assistant). Thank you! 👍🏻
@joechapman82083 жыл бұрын
Not much to say there. Ozone Master Assistant takes an intelligent average of the audio it analyses during the capture period, and the EQ adjustments it creates are only meant to be a starting point for your corrective decisions. Gullfoss is a live effect that adjusts EQ from moment to moment in great detail, so it is the correction. Gullfoss can be used to make individual things/groups sound nicer, but Ozone/Neutron's Assistant features have the edge here since they're better for elements of a mix (and if you like the concept of AI EQs, you should check out Sonible's smart:EQ too). Gullfoss is some kind of spooky mathematics that steers audio towards the tonal balance that our ears like, so it works for anything but it's especially powerful with full mixes.
@TerminalStorm3 жыл бұрын
There is nothing spooky about how Gullfoss works. Gullfoss is actually a waterfall in Iceland and waterfalls produce soothing pink noise. There is your hint. Plugin basically compares the input signal to pink noise and EQs it accordingly. This is why without additional hipass/lowpass filters it would only be usable on full mixes. The concept of mixing to pink noise is nothing new. I remember it was pretty hype a few years back. People were comparing tonal balance of commercial mixes to the pink noise curve. Pink noise simply sounds very balanced to our ears, much more balanced than i.e. white noise. I guess you could sidechain pink noise to your fav EQ plugin to get this sort of effect.

Hi Dash, I have a big problem mixing my tracks down to a clear level. On my big speakers, it sounds almost normal (for my mastering/mixing skills) but on a phone or a bluetooth speaker, it sounds like absolute crap. Can you do a tutorial for things like that? Or advise me of an existing one? I am very frustrated, because every time I am feeling a bit of pleasure about my artwork and send it to my friends or listen to it together on a bluetooth speaker, it sounds very disappointing....like old music in a tin cup. Thanx for your vids btw.

How long have you been doing this? Firstly, what big speakers are you working on? Secondly, how is your room? Do you have $10,000+in sound proofing/sound absorption/diffusion etc? Are you running a Trinnov system? At the very least do you have Sonarworks? How many sets of monitors do you have? What monitor controller are you using? How many set's of headphones do you use? What headphone amp/controller are you using? What headphones are you using? And lastly where did you learn to mix and whatnot....have you taken any classes to get better, or looked into it?

@@assshakerstudios549 Hi, I am djing since 1998, but started to produce music just last year. My equipment is in a low price section because I did a long time nothing with music, even in the last year. But I found some tutorials for better sound on small speakers, I was also to generous with FX on the tracks. I'm pretty happy now with the result after studying the how-tos...as a nurse I have a little less time to spend on producing, but I want to improve all my equipment over the time now.
@briancase61803 жыл бұрын
There's no substitute for time invested in practicing your mixing/mastering skills and listening on different reproduction devices. To make sure it doesn't sound like crap on small speakers or in your car, you have to listen on those speakers during your mixing/mastering. You can get a small speaker for your studio, for example. Heck, just listen through your laptop speakers. Print out your mix, take it to your car and listen there. You need a break now and then anyway. Take your pad and pencil and make some notes. Lather, rinse, repeat. After a couple thousand hours working this way, you'll get it.
