Dan Worrall's video on Linear Phase vs Minimum Phase: • EQ: Linear Phase vs Minimum Phase
*EDIT* at 7:34 it should be "EQing HIGHER Frequencies = Less Pre-ringing", instead of 'Lower'

Glad to have found someone who doesn't shy away from getting a bit technical in his explanations but doesn't lose the focus on practical applications. That's rare.
-
I love also that you’re not OVERTLY “quirky” and waste time joking like many vids, you add some nice funny humour but don’t stray away from being fast moving, clear and technical. Pls don’t change ur style it’s so mint
-
This guy is straight up brilliant. He clearly has an extremely deep understanding of music production and explains it in very understandable terms. I learned a lot from this video.
-
Brother I’ve been recording and mixing my own music for ten years and can hear the different regions of the frequency distribution but you blew my mind with the bit about loudness. I just put out my last project and I’m punching the air cause everything I do always sounds quieter than everything else I listen to. Thank you G
-
Finally somebody who knows his stuff and can explain it clearly! Would LOVE a video on how to properly master a song
-
Great stuff!
-
I have never found anyone who could explain this so comprehensively and break it down in a way I could appreciate it. God bless you, sir!
-
I haven’t mastered EQing yet, but, this confirms what I have learned, so far by, trial and error. I got braver with cutting frequencies on an instrument. I’ve notice a bit more clarity in my mixes. There is a lot of theory here, but this video is Gold for understanding what to do to make it work. Thank you so much of this. Great job of laying all out for us newbs.
-
Exactly what a tutorial video should be. Learned more from this than I did from the 50 other EQ tutorials I watched. Also I have some conversation material for my next date.
-
15:34 those folder names got me dead hahahha
-
This is the best EQ tutorial I’ve ever seen and real things that will help me. Everything about your editing is great as well. I feel if it had examples of how sound was effected would be a great addition to the video.
-
I just gotta say I have learned so much from these videos I watched every one of them today. And I spend hours every day watching music and audio videos have and like to think I’m knowledgeable. Your knowledge and expertise is completely off the charts. Thank you for these videos, they’re all 10/10 no question.
-
As someone who studied Fourier Transform, convolution and the likes, I salute you for explaining those concepts quite clearly to your audience. Also - actually useful tips some of which I've never come across in the many youtube videos on production I've watched.
-
10:25 Tip1 - EQ parts create definition 12:29 Tip2 - Understand which parts of the sound you need and which parts you dont 13:30 clever thing with the guitar XD 14:28 Tip3 - Boost to find where the sound should sit in your mix 14:57 Tip4 - Listen 15:33 Have a good folder structure XD 16:56 Bonus Tip - EQ with your eyes closed Thanks for the informative video man! Also I really appreciate those subtle jokes XD
-
ive been producing for like 5 years and never heard anyone explain EQ in such a detailed manner, very much appreciated! Keep creating :) 💜
-
As a mechanical engineer and lead / rhythm guitar player, your explanation was incredibly awesome and insightful. Thankyou!
-
Yeah this is absolutely a cut above what we'd normally find in "production tips" youtube.
-
these are genuine gold nuggets of information that many of the pro producers on youtube don’t give the time of day to. i’ve been looking so hard for this kind of info and the algorithm blessed me today
-
You made me remember things I'd forgotten. I must be getting old. Nice to see these explained well for people without going to deep but giving the info needed. You've done it so well that it will encourage a lot of people to go deeper and learn more. Great job.
-
Probably the best EQ video I've ever watched. I have never heard ANY of these tips, usually people are telling us the opposite (boost & sweep to identify sounds to cut), which I stopped doing a good while back because it never helped! Yes, PLEASE keep making these, you have my sub, man. Great work!
