Love that you HUM the ringing problem... makes it soo much easier to track it down!

[michaeltablet]

Great tip. Thank you so much! I have made that mistake. Deadened too much in the recording process and made the snare sound like a throw pillow.

[JoshNecto]

Hi Joe 🙂 Greetings from Srilanka !!! 🇱🇰 Hats off for your mission on rescuing the goodness of music 👍🙂

Loved the lesson, the Bono impression and the fact that no hobbits were harmed in the making of this video.🤣

Joe, you're training my ears, thanks.

[jasonbrakefield]

Tried it out and it saved my band’s record I’m currently recording. Game changer of a tip for me.

[BillGraper]

Another great video, Joe! Keep them coming. :)

i Thought it would be higher when you hummed. Why is this always happening there, in the range of 220 and 880 hz. Just the two octave's that people are playing the most in anyway. ?

7:20 Am I missing something? 🤔 I was on the email list and nothing fun happens there 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lol, at 2:20 I was doing the same singing as exercise.

Yes, Q stands for quality factor. In old school analog filter world it is the ratio between stored and dissipated energy in a resonant circuit. In terms of central frequency and achieved bandwidth you get Q as the division of both. So central frequency 1 kHz with bandwidth 500 Hz has less quality factor than central 1 kHz with bandwidth 100 Hz. That is the reason that in DAWs you set up the bandwidth with the Q after setting the central frequency. 🥸

Here’s a tip. It only matters in context. Not all ring is bad. If it’s really excessive, the tuning in drums is bad.

Nice, can this be done in Reaper as well?

[brettmarlar]

I would say it's more Eddie Vedder at the end of "Jeremy".

[joelonsdale]

There is a much easier way to achieve this. Close mic the drummers mouth and ask him to shout "pung" at the same frequency as the snare ring each time he (or she) strikes the snare. Here's the clever bit, ask them to shout it using an in-breath and it'll be 180 degrees out of phase with the snare drum therefore cancelling out the ring. Works like a charm.

Doing too much of this can remove character of the drums
