Use These EQ Tips to Stand Out Live! -- Fractal Friday with Cooper Carter # 24

@coopercarter shows you three quick and easy EQ tips that will make sure your live tones sit right where they should in a mix but never get lost!

[RhythmGuitarMan]

So true. There are literally thousands of videos about how to get a perfect tone and how you need expensive amps and pedals… but those tones don’t mean sh&t in a live situation.

[AudioAtmos]

The last PEQ adjustments to accentuate or de-emphasize pick attack was a good tip. Thanks!!

[Neelfy]

This is a BRILLIANT video. Absolutely invaluable info for setting your tone in all situations. Great work Cooper 👍

[toni-radex]

Thanks a lot for the great live EQ tips. I learned so much from a Helix user here! ✨

[dimitrisgournelis]

Very useful. I am going to try this tips tomorrow in my gig. Thanks man

[paulzeman]

That was valuable and definitely saving the link for future reference. Thank you.

[mdu]

Excellent video. It confirms some of my observations. And great EQ tips. 🎉

[eddysel]

Excellent tutorial. Exactly what I was looking for. Continue to make these type of tutorials.

[simonwilliams]

Brilliant stuff. I thought the first part was pretty much along the lines of your "amp in the room" tips, which was interesting. I'd probably never bother with the pick attack thing (I use fingers if I want soft), but I'm definitely going to play with that 1K boost idea. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely great! I had just posted a help request in the Fractal forum yesterday...Thank you Sir!!

Great video and topic! I have had struggles with modelers being able to sit in a live band mix. I find that when doing preset leveling, a lot of times gainy driven tones get swallowed up in the mix and sometimes I can barely hear myself. Turning up the volume is the quick fix but ending up in a volume war with other instruments is not a great outcome. The EQ balancing is really key and it is not always super intuitive how to EQ your sound so it sticks out without oppressive volume. Definitely a fine art.

Awesome video on quick eq just purchased fractal and live band player…leaving the 100 watt tube head Satriani head. Love it but sick of hauling gear touring

[tonykennedy]

This is great Cooper, that second tip is something I'd never heard before - Really going to explore that idea

[scottmiller]

It’s going to take awhile to get this down when I finally do get my FM9. Great to see all these knowledgeable vids!

[davuspg]

Thank you Cooper, another brilliant video.
Still learning so much after 5 years using Fractal products

[crispereyraguitar]

Excellent video! Is it possible to apply these concepts to other types of multi-effects as well?

[AngusClarkGTR]

Great tips. Always been a fan of the 1k boost! Question: I’ve done my rolloffs on the actual cab (the page where you see what IR you’re using) rather than the preamp in the cab block. What’s preferable about doing it on the preamp page? For TSO my hi rolloff is about 5.2K by the way. Thanks.

Great vid man & Very helpful, Thanks for sharing 🤘🏼

That 2.8Khz bumped 3dB added life to my dead tone. Thanks a million! Awesome tips.

[tylerobrien]

Man, this video is unbelievably helpful. I got my lead patch to POP with a PEQ spike - 2800 Hz at just 1.8 dB - and it's going to be permanent. The cab hi and lo-cuts made a massive difference for me, too, as I can use my GEQ blocks far more subtly. Thanks a lot!
