Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,520
you have probably seen this EQ before
2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,799
have a listen to how it sounds like on
3
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:06,250
the mix bus
4
00:00:06,250 --> 00:00:19,570
[Music]
5
00:00:19,580 --> 00:00:23,820
this is the legendary Paul Tech AQ it
6
00:00:23,820 --> 00:00:26,340
has been around since the 50s it's been
7
00:00:26,340 --> 00:00:28,800
in several commercial Studios it has
8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,840
been emulated by several plug-in
9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,820
companies and after reading all of your
10
00:00:32,820 --> 00:00:35,460
requests on making a video on the pultec
11
00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:37,860
EQ I decided to make this video and by
12
00:00:37,860 --> 00:00:40,079
watching the full video you'll have full
13
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:43,320
control on how to work with a pultec EQ
14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,790
in your mixes
15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,440
now the fulltech type EQ is a passive
16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,920
type EQ and its makeup gain stage is 2
17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,559
based for most of them but there's also
18
00:00:55,559 --> 00:00:57,719
solid state versions but most of
19
00:00:57,719 --> 00:00:59,820
emulation plugins are based on the tube
20
00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:01,800
version and the way it reacts is
21
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,860
actually very different than a regular
22
00:01:04,860 --> 00:01:08,640
type EQ that we have in rdaws so you can
23
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,380
do things like the two knob technique
24
00:01:10,380 --> 00:01:12,299
which I'm going to share with you in
25
00:01:12,299 --> 00:01:14,520
just a moment that is actually very
26
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,100
colorful which makes this EQ quite
27
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:19,799
unique and the way this EQ is designed
28
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:23,640
it has a tone of its own even without a
29
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,640
boosting or attenuating frequencies so
30
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,460
let's go back to our mix bus and listen
31
00:01:29,460 --> 00:01:31,320
to the plugin on its own without
32
00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:33,659
boosting any frequencies
33
00:01:33,659 --> 00:01:43,470
won't you take me
34
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:49,100
[Music]
35
00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:51,780
so it's very subtle so that's why you
36
00:01:51,780 --> 00:01:53,579
need a very good pair of headphones or
37
00:01:53,579 --> 00:01:56,040
studio monitors to listen to this video
38
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,220
but you can hear how the mix opens up a
39
00:01:59,220 --> 00:02:02,460
bit a bit more presence a bit more low
40
00:02:02,460 --> 00:02:04,200
end also and this is the type of tone
41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,020
that we get right out of the box so you
42
00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:09,179
can easily use this plugin just to get
43
00:02:09,179 --> 00:02:11,760
the tone right away without even adding
44
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,739
and boosting frequencies now there's
45
00:02:13,739 --> 00:02:16,020
several variations of the poltek EQ but
46
00:02:16,020 --> 00:02:17,280
the one that I'm going to work on today
47
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,700
is the EQ p1a which is the most common
48
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:22,800
one and I'm using the uad version I'm
49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,060
going to leave the link down below if
50
00:02:24,060 --> 00:02:26,400
you wanna check it out it's actually one
51
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,280
of the best poll Tech emulation out
52
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,379
there so if we take a closer look we
53
00:02:31,379 --> 00:02:34,319
have three main parameters we have
54
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:37,440
frequency selection cut and boost and
55
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,440
the bandwidth that's it so we have the
56
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,080
low frequency boost and attenuation and
57
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,819
the frequency selection for low
58
00:02:44,819 --> 00:02:47,700
frequencies so these three parameters
59
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:49,620
will work together and I'm actually
60
00:02:49,620 --> 00:02:51,840
going to show you how these will react
61
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,360
by having an instance of plugging doctor
62
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,720
on the left so we can have a visual of
63
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,760
the frequencies that are boosted or
64
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,760
attenuated by the poltek EQ so if I
65
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,980
boost the low frequencies
66
00:03:04,980 --> 00:03:07,620
at 30 Hertz for example I can see that
67
00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:09,420
I'm getting a shelving type of boost
68
00:03:09,420 --> 00:03:12,120
same for the attenuation if I attenuate
69
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,760
I'm getting a shelving type of
70
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,680
attenuation
71
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,920
so I can bring that up to 100 Hertz and
72
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:22,980
even if I have 100 Hertz selected you
73
00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:25,739
can see that the Boost will go wider
74
00:03:25,739 --> 00:03:28,200
it's not gonna be very precise it's
75
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,879
going to be pretty wide as far as the
76
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:32,040
bandwidth goes and same for the
77
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,920
attenuation and what's special is the
78
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,019
actual curve that we get when
79
00:03:37,019 --> 00:03:40,920
attenuating and boosting which makes the
80
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,580
poltek EQ quite unique so if you were to
81
00:03:44,580 --> 00:03:45,900
boost
82
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:49,560
at let's say 60 hertz and attenuate at
83
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,180
the same time it's not going to cancel
84
00:03:51,180 --> 00:03:53,819
itself out just because of those curves
85
00:03:53,819 --> 00:03:56,760
that will react differently by boosting
86
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,159
and attenuating and this is what we get
87
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:02,580
if we have lots of boosts and then we
88
00:04:02,580 --> 00:04:04,379
attenuate
89
00:04:04,379 --> 00:04:06,659
at the same frequency Point look at what
90
00:04:06,659 --> 00:04:09,060
happens now I have a dip in the
91
00:04:09,060 --> 00:04:10,620
mid-range and this is the tune up
92
00:04:10,620 --> 00:04:12,900
technique that I was referring to which
93
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:14,400
will add a bit more control and
94
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,680
tightness to the sound which is a pretty
95
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,079
good trick that works well on base on
96
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:21,660
kick drums on the drum bus for example
97
00:04:21,660 --> 00:04:23,880
and we're actually going to try this out
98
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,699
on the base in just a moment so let's
99
00:04:26,699 --> 00:04:29,520
bring that down to 30 Hertz now we're
100
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,940
cutting out some low mids at around 250
101
00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:36,180
Hertz and a bit below 200 Hertz when we
102
00:04:36,180 --> 00:04:39,540
have that set up to 20 Hertz okay now if
103
00:04:39,540 --> 00:04:42,300
we go and look at the Boost section now
104
00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:44,940
we have these three knobs that will work
105
00:04:44,940 --> 00:04:48,479
together so we have the Boost The High
106
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:51,300
Frequency selection and also the
107
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:53,100
bandwidth now the bandwidth will
108
00:04:53,100 --> 00:04:57,060
determine how wide you want the Boost to
109
00:04:57,060 --> 00:04:58,919
affect the frequencies basically a bit
110
00:04:58,919 --> 00:05:02,460
like a Q factor on a regular EQ and
111
00:05:02,460 --> 00:05:05,340
we'll see directly on the doctor how
112
00:05:05,340 --> 00:05:08,040
that looks like visually so I'm going to
113
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,160
boost a bit of uh let's go to 5K for
114
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,759
example let me boost a bit of 5K and I
115
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:16,979
can pair around with the bandwidth and
116
00:05:16,979 --> 00:05:20,820
notice how that reacts you know so the
117
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:22,919
narrow the bandwidth
118
00:05:22,919 --> 00:05:25,139
the more boost I'm gonna get and the
119
00:05:25,139 --> 00:05:28,620
more wide I effective frequencies I'm
120
00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:31,740
getting a bit less boost okay but more
121
00:05:31,740 --> 00:05:34,979
frequencies are affected by the Boost
122
00:05:34,979 --> 00:05:37,740
and again these three knobs will work
123
00:05:37,740 --> 00:05:39,900
together so the bandwidth will not
124
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:43,080
affect the low frequencies and also the
125
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,139
attenuation okay it will only affect the
126
00:05:46,139 --> 00:05:49,800
Boost The High Frequency boost very
127
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,259
important to know that okay let's go and
128
00:05:52,259 --> 00:05:54,660
look at the attenuation and this time
129
00:05:54,660 --> 00:05:58,020
around we have three frequency selection
130
00:05:58,020 --> 00:06:03,120
5K 10K and 20K and if we uh if we
131
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,039
attenuate we can see it's going to do
132
00:06:05,039 --> 00:06:07,800
the opposite as the low frequency
133
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,199
attenuation it will react a bit like a
134
00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:12,660
high shelf cut and if we blend both
135
00:06:12,660 --> 00:06:16,500
together for the same two knob technique
136
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:19,800
let's boost a bit of 8K for example with
137
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,680
a wider bandwidth and overdo it of
138
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,860
course and then add some attenuation and
139
00:06:25,860 --> 00:06:28,500
look at what happens if we overdo things
140
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:31,740
that we have a bit of cut again more on
141
00:06:31,740 --> 00:06:34,919
the high midpoint by also cutting the
142
00:06:34,919 --> 00:06:37,080
top end of the signal you know according
143
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,720
to the attenuation frequency selection
144
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,199
so 20K this is what we get at 5K we have
145
00:06:43,199 --> 00:06:46,380
a very nice mid-range cut okay but this
146
00:06:46,380 --> 00:06:49,139
is you know when you overdo it and even
147
00:06:49,139 --> 00:06:51,060
if you don't overdo it you still have
148
00:06:51,060 --> 00:06:53,460
that effect going on in a more subtle
149
00:06:53,460 --> 00:06:56,280
way and we're going to try this out on a
150
00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:58,259
vocal in just a moment but now let's
151
00:06:58,259 --> 00:07:03,290
listen to a bass a guitar
152
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:04,560
good
153
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,720
[Music]
154
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,580
that sounds pretty nice
155
00:07:10,590 --> 00:07:22,020
[Music]
156
00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:25,139
let me bring down the output level
157
00:07:25,139 --> 00:07:28,030
to level match
158
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,520
[Music]
159
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,550
awesome listen to this
160
00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:34,979
[Music]
161
00:07:34,979 --> 00:07:37,500
so fat
162
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:39,360
no I'm adding a lot but just to give you
163
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:40,860
an idea
164
00:07:40,860 --> 00:07:45,230
if I bring down the attenuation
165
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,210
listen to the difference
166
00:07:47,210 --> 00:07:50,639
[Music]
167
00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:52,440
a bit more control
168
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,220
a bit more tight also of the bass sound
169
00:07:56,220 --> 00:07:59,520
let's add a bit of a mid-range if I
170
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,880
bring that the high frequency to 3K I'm
171
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,500
going to get a bit more grit out of the
172
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:06,300
base so so this will add a bit of top
173
00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:08,940
end to the base you know let's face it
174
00:08:08,940 --> 00:08:11,639
top end on the bass guitar will be in
175
00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:14,920
the mid-range basically
176
00:08:14,930 --> 00:08:23,510
[Music]
177
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:24,390
nice
178
00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:30,409
[Music]
179
00:08:30,419 --> 00:08:34,610
I kind of like that
180
00:08:34,620 --> 00:08:38,760
this is just to show you how fat and
181
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,520
controlled you can get a bass guitar
182
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,700
sound like by using the poltek EQ so
183
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:47,040
it's a great plugin to work with when
184
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,500
mixing bass guitar now if we listen to
185
00:08:49,500 --> 00:08:52,740
this vocal uh what I did here on this
186
00:08:52,740 --> 00:08:56,339
one is I boosted a bit of 12K with a
187
00:08:56,339 --> 00:08:59,399
wider bandwidth and I also attenuated a
188
00:08:59,399 --> 00:09:02,279
bit at 20K to get a bit more control
189
00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:05,100
getting rid of the Sparkles you know
190
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:06,839
that we can get when boosting high
191
00:09:06,839 --> 00:09:09,240
frequencies so now I'm gonna get way
192
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,940
more definition more air out of this
193
00:09:11,940 --> 00:09:14,160
vocal I'm gonna keep that vocal sound
194
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,440
smooth also and transparent you know so
195
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,420
this is the beauty of working with the
196
00:09:18,420 --> 00:09:21,839
poltek EQ to add a bit more presence to
197
00:09:21,839 --> 00:09:23,779
a vocal so let's have a listen
198
00:09:23,779 --> 00:09:26,700
how to find you
199
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:30,779
I need to find a place to run to
200
00:09:30,779 --> 00:09:34,920
and even if I take a lifetime Okay let's
201
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,440
listen to it in the context of the mix
202
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:45,660
[Music]
203
00:09:45,660 --> 00:09:51,590
if I take a lifetime there you go
204
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,480
foreign
205
00:09:56,490 --> 00:10:01,940
[Music]
206
00:10:01,940 --> 00:10:06,300
to add a very nice smooth top end to any
207
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:09,240
vocals and the Baltic AQ works very well
208
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,320
on a mix bus of course like we've heard
209
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,440
before I actually use a passive type EQ
210
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,899
that is part of my Tegra cam which is my
211
00:10:18,899 --> 00:10:20,519
main two bus compressor that I have on
212
00:10:20,519 --> 00:10:23,940
my mixbus and I'm actually using the
213
00:10:23,940 --> 00:10:26,100
passive EQ to boost the low frequencies
214
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:28,260
and also the high frequencies and it's a
215
00:10:28,260 --> 00:10:31,440
poltic type passive EQ that I have on
216
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,959
this tegular cam so on this one what I
217
00:10:33,959 --> 00:10:36,660
did I bypassed my tegucam and I replaced
218
00:10:36,660 --> 00:10:40,019
the EQ part with the poltek EQ by adding
219
00:10:40,019 --> 00:10:43,019
the same type of of boost that I
220
00:10:43,019 --> 00:10:46,380
originally have on my hardware and this
221
00:10:46,380 --> 00:10:47,700
is how it sounds like
222
00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:51,240
[Music]
223
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,440
okay
224
00:10:52,440 --> 00:11:06,850
please run two even if I take a lifetime
225
00:11:06,860 --> 00:11:09,779
on the next bus I mainly use the low and
226
00:11:09,779 --> 00:11:11,940
high frequency boost I don't attenuate
227
00:11:11,940 --> 00:11:13,860
on the mix bus okay so only the Boost
228
00:11:13,860 --> 00:11:17,040
just to open the mix up a bit uh and on
229
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,100
my side I do mix into it okay so I add
230
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:22,560
this up at the beginning of my mix like
231
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:25,019
I do with my mix bus compressor and I
232
00:11:25,019 --> 00:11:27,300
just mix right into it and if you want
233
00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:29,519
to know more about my whole mix bus
234
00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:32,399
process when it comes to adding plugins
235
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:35,040
on the mix bus you can actually watch
236
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,800
this video where I share with you my
237
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,720
whole strategy when it comes to mixbus
238
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,000
processing so I hope this was helpful
239
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,279
leave your questions and comments down
240
00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:47,220
below and enjoy working with the pawtek
