Newfangled Audio Equivocate Like You've Never Seen Before (special trick)

Here's how I use Newfangled Audio Equivocate for my Mix Buss.

The song is "Call It Love" by the artist Angela Jennifer. The version of the mix in this video is not the original mix, but my own mix version. The song is originally produced and mixed by Michael Leto and is being used under his permission for portfolio mixing.

Here's the link to download the high resolution screen grab of my custom EQ profile for Equivocate on the Pink Noise profile.

Ozone match eq is better at this! Load the pink noise preset, then learn the curve of your music! Preferred at points where most of the elemnts are playing, usually chorus! Wait till it stabilizes and hit match! Now here comes the simple trick: set the smoothing slider at 75-80 percent, and
Start setting the match until you dont surpass 3-4db at the highest boost! Limit the very highs at 16khz(the range where most consumer playback systmes wont give information!) and limit the lower band to 30hz for the same reason! My sliders go 75% smooth and 25% Match! Thank me later

Its a nice concept!. Once i build a masterbuss chain that 100% followed pink noise. And whatever you did it couldn’t exceed pink noise curve and dynamically reduced all frequencies above pinknoise.

All mixes had near perfect pink noise curves. so all sounded very warm and smooth but i lost the feel of “Music” itself………. So now i am mixing in the best interest of music itself again😊 cheers

Results don't lie! Very interesting, thanks so much.

[meddub]

Thanks a lot. Tried it and found it very useful. Keep up the good work.

[erictourangeau]

Very interesting presentation sir. I do have that plugin, I know that this is possible but always forget to try it. I'm trying it the next session. Thank of the inspiration 🙂

Thanks for sharing this! Learned something new and very useful today. 🙏

[Viktor-wflk]

Great method! Thank you! The same can be done with a compressor. Try the free multi-band Spectral Compressor, it already has a pink noise mode built in.

[KLOVOrecords]

thank you for sharing this very interesting tip, I've took this EQ as a part of a bundle but since haven't used much, I will need to check it on, it's a great feature you explained.

[mitekillem]

Gulfoss is cool, but it kills transients and will often drastically change things when there it's quieter and very few instruments are playing. Same with Ozone's Stabilzer.
While this takes some extra work, I think it's a good way to get an initial idea of what the mix needs more of.
Rather than throwing it my mix buss and leaving it. I'd probably look at what it's telling me, and then go back to the mix and make those tweaks. You can't always trust your ears after a while, so this could be useful.

Btw...this really didn't need to take 12 minutes to explain. The going back and forth and over-explaining just made it seem more confusing and technical than it really is. This could've been a 3 minute video.

[g.o.]

Wow, it's so subtle... damn.. that's what mastering is? Wow.

Pro-Q 3 has more precision and also as another comment mentioned, Ozone's match EQ does this very well too. one other comment mentioned the linear phase mode of EQuivocate and Pro-Q 3 has zero latency mode and natural phase mode to prevent that transient smearing from happening

[realraven]

4:20 interesting curve. Very technical. I just use tonal balance control 2, listen for imbalances and find the lacking or overloaded frequency area, just one step and i can do my corrections.

[stringbeanuniversity]

Cool video! In my opinion I recommend using this process to make changes in the mix, EQuivocate is a good EQ but it's linear phase which smears the transients and clarity. If you use the gain match function it will be more apparent, especially with lots of boosts and cuts. Some amount of phase shift is completely fine in mastering, I like to use DMG Audio EQuilibrium for its mixed phase opinion so I can rotate phase per filter.

[andyisacsson]

Great idea, I’ve never got much use out of this plug before … can you share your settings please ?

[ProfessorSaibertin]

Good stuff, thx man! I'm just thinking about getting this EQ.

[KozmykJ]

Interest way to use Equivocate matching.
I've long used the pink slope as a rule-of-thumb target shape for EQ'ing but I'll be giving your method a try for sure. 👍

[mikelo]

Any chances to get Equivocate setting saved on your google drive? Better, whole PINK chain in Studio One - Shared - FX chains? Under your name?
I am that lazy :D

[Barncore]

Oh that's cool. I'm gonna try that now. Glad i stumbled across this vid. Thanks for sharing!

Only thing i have hesitation about is that there's a huge gap in the Equivocate bands between 0hz and and 102hz. There's a looot of varying information between there. I feel like there should be an extra band at say 60hz.
If 26 bands is the max then just remove the 17k one or something, and move the 15k one to 17k

I make music in reason Studios 12. But i haven't started recording yet. I have the free version of studio one artist, free version of uad Luna, and the lowest tier of Harrison Mixbus. Which one should i be using to record vocals and learn how to mix in for the best sounding results? Thank you.

[JAMPROSOUND]

I've done this for years and most people don't understand how this works. You were supposed to keep this one a secret. Just kidding.

It is pretty handy. This is also a great way to learn some EQ fixes you might not be able to hear yet.
