MAGIC IS IN THE MIDRANGE (mix tutorial)

Cutting EQ vs Boosting EQ. Showing the difference once and for all!
https://youtu.be/IzF9mg47g38
Every time I say “Lets see what’s happening“, what I mean is “Lets listen to what’s happening”. Poor choice of words on my part... also, the point of this video was not to prove that my my EQ moves sound better. The singular purpose of this video was to show people “how“ to focus on the mid range. Not how to EQ something. I came up on a console, and consoles don’t level match. So after thousands and thousands of songs for my career, I don’t do it either. Now if I was showing you guys the difference between two equalizers, of course I would level match. But for this application it wouldn’t have made my point any different. Hope this video helps you!

no A/B test results?

Firstly I thought what are you doing by boosting mids, sounds out of box, but then when you tuned lows and highs everything stood in its places and started sounding really great, thanks for the video

Wouldn’t you run into issues when boosting so much of the midrange. Like if you had a guitar and vocals in the midrange boost??

I ordered Avantone's. I'm looking forward to seeing how it will help doing pretty much the same thing.

Just went back on a mix to try this out and I think its the best single piece of advice I've ever had it has stepped my game up 10 fold thank you so much

Midrange is forbidden in CCM

I hate when these “mixing engineers” on yt try to tell you that they have a magic trick to mix your vocals when the vocals they r mixing vocals that are already processed and 90% of the way done.

It's great to concentrate on getting your midrange right - but do be careful, - the Auratones can give you a false impression of how punchy your mix is. You need (as another commentator says, below) - several sets of different monitors, and headphones! Auratones may give the impression your mix really kicks, but it's falsely-enhanced by the auratones. (I've got 6 pairs of them left over from the 70s/80s - and I'm not getting rid of them!!!)

Awesome tips mann !!!!

Cool man...

Cut through my laptop speakers better as well

The issue I have with this is people always start with mixes that are pretty good. I want to hear a terrible muddy mix to start lol

More on the stem mastering side than mixing imo. But pretty informative 👍🏼

I tend to pull the midrange in a lot of elements down as there is a LOT of buildup in that range. I'm confused now, lol.

Interesting video, thank you for your time.

"Even Malayalam is available, which is great, but how is there still no Turkish support? We have a population of 80 million, and it’s honestly frustrating and sad to see our language being overlooked like this."

500-3000

What song is this?…

Please tell me! After mastering, the track sounds fine. But when I raise the midrange on the equalizer of an android phone, the strong distortion destroys my track. What could be the problem. The equalizer does not spoil other people's tracks. Thanks!

THANKS for this. I have tried this and when I get the bass sounding good in the mids (with an eq blocking below 200 and above 4k), it is WAY too loud when I play it normally (without an eq blocking things below 200 and above 4k. How can I make it translate better? I am REALLY trying to get more consistent mixes!

Does this technique also apply to individual tracks?

Is this trick working in edm music? My mix always sounds boxy or flat. Sounds Way better before mixing

Thanks for this video! I watched it ages ago didn’t act on it. Last week I finally bought an Auratone 5C my mixes are night and day better after one day! My mixes sounded so congested on this speaker and taking the time to make them clear and punchy on this little guy made them leaps and bounds better. Cheers!

Hello sir. Thank you for useful information with so friendly flow. I’m voiceover artist, I use u87ai and also tube and ribbon mics with preamp Neve Shelford Channel. As a AD/DA converter I use RME UCX II. How much a difference in actual file and also in monitoring I’ll get with Lynx Hilo 2? Also I've heard an opinion that in UCX II almost premium AD, but DAC not so clear, so if I'll get external RME ADI-2 DAC FS I'll have a 90-95% same quality as Hilo 2? Or I shound get Hilo 2? Thank u.

This is exactly what I was looking for

Finally im getting to the sort of music editing that fit my ears. The tutorials I watched before was so techno based and machines sound that caused me fall asleep half way.

You say around 3:21 to not touch anything between 200 and 4k and the first thing you touch is 800.

Cool Stuff. Can i get the link to that song please
