Fascinating concept on the 4 cardinal directions for EQing, please explore this idea more in further videos, maybe in a mixing scenario rather than mastering.

[SaintLuminus]

My mind/ears are blown away. Its amazing how the feel of a song can change with these subtle EQ moves. Thanks for this Justin.

Thank you. Your channel is one of the few I follow as a pro mixer for 20 years. Either you confirm some things I"ve been doing for years or I just plain learn something new.

[Kehisthe]

Thank you so much for the knowledge and lesson. I feel like I've hit a wall on Youtube University and always end up here again!😂 I go through the comments and see a lot of ungratefulness so I want to say there's at least one person who really appreciates the content you bring!

[DMMirval]

Wonderful ! Thanks for this masterclass. I like thinking in terms of system so this approach is perfect for me.

[tommyaudio]

in a sting voice..."but that's not the shape of myyy mix"

anyway, i LOVE this 4 types concept and will definitely be thinking this way from now on! thank you for this wisdom 🙏

[UncleBenjs]

Very nice approach. I've been doing this backwards (dealing with the small details before dialling in the bigger picture), maybe that's why I've been so slow lol. Going to apply this

Hey Justin! Thank you for this video man, really helpful. I had a sense of the concepts you explain here I believe, but it's very helpful to hear you explain it in this organized and example backed way! I do really like this master EQ you're showing, I'm sold! I will purchase it in the coming months! I am just an amateur engineer mixing and mastering my own music, but still. The EQ I am currently using on my masters is the AMEK 200, which resembles this Maselec one in functionality. The Amek does really have its own sound. I can hear it work without cutting or boosting for sure, I hear it add saturation. So I am certainly interested in the MEA-2, to see how it sounds and reacts. I like the way of working without graph, and with 4 bands like in the Maselec as opposed to infintite. The Amek 200 has 5 bands I believe. As you explain: it makes me use my ears.

I love Ur channel, I love Ur content.
I just wanted to suggest sth & I wish U won't get offended man 🌺
Duration of Ur videos in relation to the core material U offer is usually Longer, I mean the content that could be well elaborated in 10 to 15 min, are being explained at least in twice duration.🙏
thanks again for what youvare doing here 🤘

Thats pretty much what I do on the master bus. i set the overall balance from the get go and then move in onto busses. The Sontec 432 is my weapon of choice.

[kimseniorb]

I like dark mixes. I think its stylish

[Bluelagoonstudios]

Hi Justin, the fourth option we call here a camelback. Just such a number mastered. Was some (a lot) work on it.

[MountainViewStudio]

Very nice vid my friend :) For mastering do you have the EQ in stereo or Dual Mono?

[kylebftr]

Hey Justin, I vote you actually post these with a blank frozen screen of your face and just give us the audio! ;D

[chrisb]

Could you also use this concept for vocals rather than the entire mix?

[Macaroni]

Question: Is the topology of the bands in the Maselec EQ parallel or in series? Same question about the GML 9500 if you happen to know. Thanks.

[coolceeofficialmusic]

I hope it will be on offer for $100 Black Friday-Cyberweek

[theswedishmusicstudio]

Ik multimedia has done this eq for ages. 432 they call it. Uses it every day. Really good for memorising frequencies. As you say, it’s great for learning eq.

[vektacular]

Is there mid/side mode? On the Maselec?

[Dekutard]

this assumes that in the end you always want every sound to end up with as balanced and flat of a frequency distribution as possible. is that always true? maybe for whole mixes. but tracks ? doesn’t it make sense for bass to have a dark curve, vocals to have a bright one, guitars to have a middy curve, drums to be scooped for example?
