Hi from France, I had a look on all your videos. That’s a great great amount of knowledge and tips. Nice to share and spend so much time explaining all this tips and tricks. Certainly, the most usefull chanel on you tube for musician.

@recordingrevolution Question, so if a guitar has a totally different sound in the same song and isn’t really the main guitar throughout the song, should this technique apply towards those as well if they’re sort of overlapping in the song?

I really actually don’t know how you didn’t recognized that this is simply crap mix without putting it in mono. It was really messy from the beginning. Technique is kind a OK, but even after you’ve done what you’ve done – still it was messy. I think you should just re-record those guitaets, because you know the rule of studio guys – “you can’t mix crap”.
But! Maybe it plays along with the rest of the mix or the mood of the song – I can’t know this.

Great Video Graham but those 300hz-500hz were screaming for a cut

Great tricks, thanks a lot!


I now understand. Cheers ;)

Yes, this is the stock EQ in Pro Tools.

This is just an example of a technique. There are no “rules” about always cutting 2k. That “pain frequency” video you are referring to was to show that if you have a lot of guitars, try not to boost in that range or perhaps instead cut a bit to leave room for vocals. In this example there are no vocals, just two guitars.

Former (and sometimes current) mix-dummy myself bro. Guilty as charged.

The video is just an example. The frequencies I used aren’t what you should worry about. Regarding the “Pain Frequency” that’s more of an issue with a lot of guitars (there were only two in this video) and it’s not always 2k. Sometimes it’s 1k or 3k. Just some helpful suggestions. No hard and fast rules.

I wish I had known this before. I’m a little less noob now.

Every time I watch one of these vids a lightbulb goes on in my head and I say “DUH!” thats so simple… why the heck didn’t I think of that?!!! I mean alot of these tips aren’t something you really need pro tools to do. I could have done this thirty years ago with my rack mounted EQ and my portastudio !!! If only I knew then… :-) Great tip!!!

I know your “recording” revolution but i was wondering if you could mix stuff for a band live, or do a tutorial for mixing in live settings. thanks if you can, your videos are an amazing help.

wy too boost frequency that you find to be ugly?

I think the idea is they even each other out if you boost/cut them by the same amount.

i really like your videos they are very useful…thx

Great video and I understand your point. I heard a great comment from a music producer once. He said something to the effect of, “Modern tv producers don’t worry about black and white televisions. Im not going to worry about people listening in mono”.

I love your tuts! Keep them coming.

please put “complementary EQing” in the title
