Mixing with EQ: Understanding Curves, Character, and Harmonics

Описание: Understanding EQ: Neve, SSL & Pultec Secrets

Why do some EQs just sound better than others? We all have our favorites, but often we don't know exactly why they’re working their magic. In this video, I’m taking you inside the studio to attach a visual image to our sonic perception. We are going to look at the actual curves of legendary hardware clones to see how they behave on guitars, vocals, synths, and full mixes.

You’ll learn why the "narrow" focus of an SSL EQ creates that unmistakable pop impact, why the
Pultec "bass trick" isn't actually doing what you think it is, and why the massive, musical curves of a Neve 8068 are my secret weapon for adding warmth and presence without the mud.

You'll learn:
✅ The truth behind the famous Pultec bass trick
✅ Why the SSL EQ is a statement piece for pop and rock
✅ How transformers in the Neve 8068 naturally shape your high and low end
✅ The hidden dangers of using graphic EQs on vocals and bass
✅ How to use visual tools like Q Clone to better understand your processing

Whether you are trying to carve out a pocket for a kick drum or trying to bring a vocal performance forward in the mix, understanding these EQ personalities will help you trust your ears and make better mixing decisions.
