James that is probably the best explanation I’ve ever heard. It’s all the things I meant when I told you, It’s all about the low end. Get that right and everything else falls into place. And you sir, got it right. It’s hard to believe it’s been 22 years. All my best my friend.

I swear every video gets better and better. Thanks so much James 😊!

Great lesson 👍

Great words to live by as a sound engineer!!!

Thank you James for that amazing explanation, you are a sound tec Jedi master. Greetings from Costa Rica.

Excellent content as always

That was an excellent video - really applicable to my usual mixing environment!

For my electric guitar, a long time ago I realized that if I got the perfect rhythm tone, then my leads would be a little thinner sounding that I wanted, so to get around that, what I do is put "too much" low end on my amp's EQ, and then use a HPF to filter some of that out like when I'm playing a Low E power chord. But then you want the soaring leads to still be full sounding, which they do, because a 17th fret A-note's "low end" is well above the HPF's threshold. So in some ways it's sort of a dynamic HPF that only actually does anything when you're playing low chords, which is when you want it. Maybe someone else will find this info useful too!

Thank you so much, James! This is SOOOO valuable knowledge. Fantastic!!

Really good information!

Always informative thank you James. Hope you’re doing well. - Josh

Hey James how about a video for those of us who have no instruments or drums in our worship services? We have a Soundcraft Ui-12. Mixing 4 mic. A boundary pulpit mic. A boundary mic at the Lords Supper table and 2 wiresless mic on a Rode wireless II I wear as the Preacher and a handheld Nady wireless a ninety five year old uses due to immobilbility. Need ideas on EQ and compression. All live no recording. I have a lot of preacher friends in the church of Christ this would help greatly. Take care love your videos. Before I became a full time preacher was a full time Broadcast Engineer built a lot of production facilities. Got to mix several C and W bands as well. That was in analog days. Love Orban, UREI LA-4 and the Dorough DAP units.

Great video

Thank you brother!

Bought your book and it really helped 🔥

I remember the first vid. It was the beginning of an amazing journey for me.

This video makes a lot of sense. I really need to understand low end clearly. It has made where I've been messing

Ah Jason Cole 🤘 I knew I had heard that same quote!!

Thanks. Even after 10,000 plus hours of mixing it still holds true. It might be the smartest thing I’ve ever said. Lol.

Everything lives at 2.5-4K. Obviously balancing that out can be tricky!. Thanks for your video! 😎

Nice thx 👌

I am a bass freak. Getting pressure in room is not easy if planned well. Good bass trap class d Hypex amps my fav. I have tried various class Ab and some other class d Hypex was my fav in bass duty. Also you can consider Purifi class d amps. Sealed and Dipole bass my fav. I have yet to experience a tapered Horn

This was very understandable all the way through. I am looking forward to building up my own home studio with all the info help I can get. This feels like a solid place to get that info. I am looking for a really good digital mixing console (that has enought channels to recorded a whole band) to buy in the future . I would also like to use it as a daw control. Q - if you were to narrow it down, what would be your top picks in that area?

I had someone tell me one time to never run the HPF up past 100-120 on vocals. If I do that then it seems muffled and dull especially on female singers. To me it sounds clearer turning it up to 180-200. I know every voice is different but what's your take on it?

Awesome video! Now can you make another one explaining why nobody leaves humming the kick drum? 😂

How about "avoid the sound tech solo? "

👏👏👏

Gotta question. Where is you master/main volume usually at for live mixing?

If your amps are set correctly, 0

Too many variables, this video applies to churches with some budgets and more than average vocals. When had our guy eq-ing the speakers burst in laughter when the vocals started singing during tests. Before all about low end, is about resources...

Finally!

👍😉👍

Next, what is “the sound tech solo”?
