Dude I had the biggest smirk when you said “subs are out of control” because I knew what was coming 😂😂😂

[@joeymusic]

Hahah I’m still tryna have fun wit it every time 😂 -Miami

[@BreddaK]

Every time you guys drop innovative videos like this, it feels like Christmas to me.

[@joeymusic]

Merry Christmas 🎁! -Miami

[@belaneirmiller2637]

Great video! Clear, concise and easy to understand. Thank you!

[@napesdrk1174]

Amazing idea for an episode. This is something you deal with every time working with others and normally these others are not as technical as we are.

[@theriffdjenerator2213]

Always useful these videos . Thx

[@versistyl3]

well described, quite thorough and right to the point! thanks guys

[@AntonioAdame1]

Thanks again for this information.

[@baxteradkins6323]

This video concept could make a cool poster! Also that synth pop tune sounded really cool, I’d love more videos on synths

[@joeymusic]

Glad you enjoyed it my friend! I’m really invested in pushing synth topics so expect it soon! -Miami

[@CrushingAxes]

Cool! Very cool tricks ! Awesome knowlegde!

[@tobins6800]

One term I didn't see mentioned, fizzy, fizzly. Usually up in the top end that makes you want to smack a speaker to get rid of it. Solid state amps, digital, or amp Sims suffer the most from this. New speakers and some tube amps also.

[@BlueBrainapp]

This is so damn helpful! Thank you sir!

great vid brother

Great vid

"Hard" for shells, when referring to maybe 2k-4.5k. Also, bite/ on guitars I'd say 2k ish, but could go down into the central mids or up to 3.5k even. Bite could also refer to higher up in the presence region, but it's probably best to use another word for that area.

[@brucegaminglee5685]

Damn Miami. You got me jotting down gems like im back in school and SCHOOLS OUT FOR THE SUMMER 👌🙏💯☝️❤👊.

[@MGDizzleDawg]

Not that I'm any real authority on anything, but when I think of a "lush" sound, I also think of something generally pleasing but I think there's an implied sense of space/ambiance that accompanies something that sounds lush. Just my 2 cents. Either way, great video! I think trying to contextualize all of these loose terms more consistently is a great idea, communication is key!

[@Ash-qx6zc]

Hey Miami. Check out that Sonnox Claro plugin. It helps communicate ideas and understand the frequency spectrum with words in a way that isn't too patronising.

[@joeymusic]

I’m gonna have to check it out! Love sonnox stuff -Miami

[@therisendead7]

I like how you juggled the most indestructible mic in existence. Wise move 😉

[@joeymusic]

I got risky with some more expensive mics in the past, never again lol -Miami

[@zac3126]

I always thought honkey was my wife's cute nickname for me. Thought it was a race joke, now I know she's just giving me eq tips

[@petealba707]

Practical and usable info as always! I unsubscribed so I could hit that subscribe button again. if I could double subscribe I would spank that subscribe button.

[@joeymusic]

Really appreciate that, Pete! Thanks for always commenting and being part of the community! -Miami

[@DommoDommo]

How come if I slap an EQ on a track and get rid of 100hz and below I'll still see stuff in that area if I were to check on a second EQ plugin?

[@WinterhouseRecords]

Are you using a brick wall type Q factor? Not an expert here but my understanding is that Most lo/hi passes aren’t cutting out those frequencies entirely, they’re just minimizing them to the point of being inaudible. However if you use a brick wall type Q factor I believe it should theoretically cut those frequencies. There might be a little bleed over but it shouldn’t really be audible. Hopefully that helps.

[@joeymusic]

Braden pretty much summed this up. But most filters with slopes are rolling the bulk of the frequencies off, not eradicating them -Miami

[@gh0ul.nin9]

1:43 still gets me xD

[@dek10157]

Aye bro what song is this

[@joeymusic]

Which song? -Miami

[@dek10157]

Very Vague my bad. The one used in the muddy example “I hope you had your fun I hope you had your fun, my hearts bleeding”

[@Jazzguitar00]

@@dek10157 I don't know but he's used it in at least 12 other videos lol

[@revuutube]

@@dek10157 Kinda sounds like a slightly deeper tom from blink182, and I know they've worked with him before. Oh wait no, its there in the description lol

[@SashaGarcia]

We need a convention to "standardize" those qualities. I'm sick of "boxy" meaning somewhere between 200 to 1900 hertz.

[@jerryfick8547]

It's funny. Some of the terms sound so corny sometimes. 🤣🤣🤣

[@joeymusic]

They seriously do lol -Miami

[@matttorrence2900]

Man, who you callin' a honky?

[@jerryfick8547]

I don't know why...but the term that makes me cringe the worst is " beefy". 🤣🤣🤣☠️
