Knowing how to EQ is the single greatest skill any audio engineer has.
And we've been talking about the Audio Issues EQ plug-in so much that I've neglected to share just how much EQ Strategies - Your Ultimate Guide to EQ will help you make better mixes.
It's one of my most popular programs and it's helped thousands of home studio musicians and bedroom producers improve their EQ skills since the original version came out close to ten years ago
EQ Strategies - Your Ultimate Guide to EQ is the equivalent of downloading my 15 years of knowledge into your brain while bypassing my years of learning, the embarrassment of my mixing mistakes, and the thousands of dollars I spent on audio school.
So if you've been looking for the one and only EQ package to fix those nasty frequencies in your mixes, look no further than the Audio Issues EQ and the included Ultimate Guide to EQ.
It's been continuously updated and revised since then and we completely revamped the video course for the Audio Issues EQ launch.
To really start getting great mixes you need to start understanding frequencies so that you can trust your EQ skills, something Brad Hoese accomplished after going through my EQ Strategies training:
"I have been volunteering at my church (always a live environment with limited time to get things "right" during rehearsal before the actual services begin) and found myself wanting to learn more so I could do better/more efficient work there. It was helpful to see how you eq'd
instruments/vocals 1 at a time all the while paying close attention to how each of them fit into the mix. I had learned how to eq things in isolation and was taught to use the same methodology as you to find offensive/resonant frequencies and cut them. Where you helped me was in the idea of not so much how does it sound on its own, but how does it sound/sit in the mix. Using kick/bass as an example, I could get each of them to sound great on their own but always thought they
sounded kind of muddy together. Last week I went in to practice mixing using recorded multi tracks and tried eq'ing space for each of them and then they seemed to fit together so much better in the mix. And yes, I even used a very low frequency low cut on both (which I had been taught not to do) and thought it cleaned up the sound even further while still retaining nice hit/punch/clarity."
And here are some thoughts from a couple of students:
“Everything was helpful. I used to fiddle with knobs until it sounded right. Now I can just go directly to the frequencies I need to boost or cut. I also learned more about how to use compression. I am enjoying learning and understanding more about mixing. I play out frequently and have a
very good live drum sound. Your EQ Strategies has already helped me improve the sound by helping me understand compression better and how to use it on drums.” -Jean F Peters
“The book is full of tips that are immediately useful. Like anything you are learning, it takes 'doing' and more 'doing' before you can start to polish your work. But the initial results are immediate and impressive….thanks. The format helped me solidify the basics very quickly. I
sampled a few sessions with the concepts and found an immediate and pronounced improvement.” -Dave Michaels
