In this video series my goal is to lay a solid foundation to learning how to EQ every instrument. We will have a look at multiple samples of each instrument, from bad to good recording quality, so you can see how a mixer treats them to achieve a good starting point for further sound shaping. Most instruments have similar issues, but there is a lot of nuance that can be difficult to hear and notice for most people starting to mix. I want to break down this barrier and help you identify problematic areas quickly and easily, so you can focus on creating music.

In the Kick video we take a close look at various kick drums of varying qualities. Both single sample and multi mic drums will be examined and treated with EQ to arrive at a good starting point for further sound shaping.

Not paid promotion, but if you are keen on good monitoring check out the Neumann monitors, especially the KH310. I also use the Sennheiser HD650 headphones, which are amazing if combined with a good preamp.
