How do I get this Multiband Plugin.
Im developing my own phyolosphy and work flow rn. For me its first getting rid of muddyness with mid/side eq, then side chain, but when I try to enhance the sound of the instruments they start clashing again usually.
u helped me so much! thank you!, a question: when recording my acoustic guitar, the guitar audio that i get sounds not as loud as i want and the individual notes of melody are quieter sounding than the other notes, i play fingerstyle guitar. How to solve it?
Thanks in advance
Super clear and helpful process!
such a great job of explaining your thought process
Thanks Joe!
Hey Joe, I'm hooked on your videos, great content, explained simply. I'm just starting out recording, acoustic guitar and vocals using Ableton. I really like the EQ you're using in this video, the split of the frequencies looks helpful. Is that a plugin? Where can I get it? The EQ Eight on Ableton doesn't work as well. Thanks
My brother Dave used to say : Why add plugins? It sounds like a guitar, right?
I am struggling right now with an acoustic from a choir live recording and I was told my mix sounds good for a live recording, specially the voices, but I should tame down the mids of the guitar. And aside I think the guitar sounds cheap. I didn’t know where to find both ranges. And now I know! I will try this today night, yes, sir.
Immensely helpful, thank you.
Joe, thank you for the great explanation, and for sharing your knowledge in so many videos that I’ve learned from. The honesty, humor and kindness of a true mentor!
I can’t believe I’ve only just found you. Your videos are so freaking helpful! I’m still kind of struggling eliminating my electric guitar of this plastic-y tone. My amp doesn’t have that effect by itself, only when I mic it up with my sure 57 into studio one. Do you think it’s the mic? Or is it some eq or compression problem? I can’t figure it out for the life of me. I don’t even know how to look it up. I think I’ve gotten close with the term “piezo quack”? But that seems to be an acoustic guitar problem. Any thoughts? Thanks!!
I tune my guitar a step down and your advice here is PRICELESS !! >> I Was able to clean up some mud and rumble but the dog whining outside my door cuz I locked him out; how do you EQ that thang??? — Thanks Joe, you're the BEST
I have to keep reminding myself to substract and avoid boosting ????
You are an absolute champion mate, now I get it.
really like your philosophy haha thanks a lot
Thanks
TNX!!!
I enjoyed this, I like the more organic way of learning, describing the sound rather than being technical. One thing though, if you're using a multiband then that's not going to be just EQ isn't it? It'll be compression and eq combined
Thanks for your vids I learn a lot watching them.
thanks for unraveling your process!
Can you please do one with on a Classic guitar, with nylonstrings ????
the G STRING???????? 15:02
Awesome presentation! A fan in NH????????????
hi joe nice tutorial, really! A video on fingerstyle guitar mixing would be very interesting, which is very very different from chords for solo or acoustic guitar in a band.
Great video and you really explained this well. Thank you
Thank you joe
The thumbnail looks like the sort of EQ you would use in a live setting where all you have to work with is the DI off of the Piezo pickup, which will require a lot more work than a microphone recording.
Thank you Joe, very good mixing tips,, I depend on my ears90 percent of the time due to poor eye sight this has been such a help ,,
I can't even begin to describe how much this video helped me. I've been a songwriter and performer for over a decade and made the decision to learn the skills to decently record my songs at home for distribution. It's a skill I always wanted to learn and as I'm turning 40 in a month, it's my "skill gift" to myself to develop. I have decent microphones, (Aston Origin, AKG C214) and a beautifully sounding guitar (Gibson J15) . I was beyond frustrated EQ'ing it. Plug in presets, generic EQ settings recommended with quick searches (and even ChatGPT) amounted to nothing. I am recording these for just a vocal and acoustic guitar only song so not a full production. This means the guitar is paramount to get sounding good. Watching this video, as well as the vocal EQ video on your channel, changed the game for me. The philosophy, explanation, clarity, and presentation is hands down the best anyone will find. I'm sure my first few songs will have areas of improvement, but that comes with learning anything. This got me from "I'll never feel good about releasing this" to "Wow. I'm actually a bit surprised and impressed with how good I got this to sound with no experience". I can't thank you enough and can't recommend your channel enough. Beyond appreciative sir!
does anybody have a link for the multiband dynamics plugin?
Ok, this is amazing. Thank you sooooo much.
Great video. I wonder if the thumping issue could be fixed through a better take and performance rather then eq. I’ve learned a lot from your videos over the years. Thanks joe.
'PromoSM' ????
I literally just recorded a new acoustic guitar part for a new song of ours yesterday so I can play with your eq ideas with it! Of course i wont do anything permanent yet because i also have you 5 mixing rules….no plugins yet! ????
Great input! Many thanks for sharing this man !
Video starts at 1:50
I don't need no philosophy on nothing
For years, I've been trying to figure out how to get that zither-like, percussive transient on strummed acoustic guitar that one hears on so many records. I've asked in every forum I've come across, but never found the answer. I've tried SPL Transient Designer. It can't just be a matter of a sharp, narrow boost to 8k, or 10k, because it's not achieving what I'm after. There are countless recordings that have this — one that comes to mind is the Wilburys song "Handle Me With Care." I have come to believe this must be something that a top end boost on a Neve or SSL console can achieve. If anybody has any ideas, I'm all ears
Why there is no lock function inside pro EQ for x/y movement. That´s the only point I´m missing, but because of that I don´t use it. Sadly and should be not that difficult to add this function.
Nice vid. i always thought, is EQ always important? Or should you do a lot with EQ? Especially if the sound comes from a top quality guitar. I think it’s a lot about music preference though. For example Radiohead’s exit music for a film, is a classic masterpiece in my book, and it has this deep guitar sound. Makes me wonder.
Thanks so much Joe, absolutely love your videos. So informative, useful and on point. Much appreciated!
Will try this tomorrow on some tracks I recorded earlier today ????
Great video Sir, I love the divisions of the frequency ranges. 1-5-1-3, easy to remember and an effective description of what to listen for when looking for problems in the source track. I have some work coming up on acoustic tracks for my friend's original Christian music he has written over the years and is finally getting around to record, these suggestions should come in handy.
Joe you are a gift from God and we are grateful! So many helpful videos!
There are many acoustic guitar EQ videos, this being one of them, but I wish there were more nylon string guitar EQ videos.
Fabulous
Good video Joe. I will try it out..
I really like this approach, however, I've never heard an acoustic guitar that doesn't sound better with a little light compression on it.
