EQ doesn't have to be difficult. In fact, people often make this a lot more difficult than it has to be. When EQ'ing a sound, try to keep it simple. Remember, it's all about frequencies.

Just wanted to let you know you make the best content period when it comes to music production. Everything else is so convoluted and people spend a lot of time demonstrating without explaining anything. When I need to learn something to get back to work on an issue I was running into on a project I was working on I go here.

Its Basically remake of your old tutorial 10 eq tips but i appreciate you wanted it more relevant or better edited than previous time. All these tips are great. I was long time using EQ only for the High Pass and Low Pass. Than i became friend with professional industry house producer which has constant releases on labels, decent mastering and everything. And he told me if i want to hear one secret how to rapidly increase quality of my music, i should go more into depth of EQ-ing than just *cutting lows and highs*

[SuperObvious]

Thanks for the tips. I been making music for about 15 years and making your mix more cleaner is always something that can improve. Great video 😀👍

[EmmzBeatszx]

amazing video. I make drill beats so the kick and bass have to be loud and pianos can always get in the way of that if you dont cut out the lows on the eq

[ocdmusic]

Great video. Ive started really getting into eq'ing recently, loads of great useful tips!!

Chris Lorde Alge says don’t be afraid to crank your EQ. I’m gonna go with him on this.

[godinthetrap]

I just applied these tips and it dramatically changed my mix
