1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:04,170
what's up everyone Jordan here from
hardcore mixing studio. in this video I'm
2
00:00:04,170 --> 00:00:08,309
going to show you how I would EQ and
compress a lead guitar track to get it
3
00:00:08,309 --> 00:00:11,880
to poke through the mix and cut through
the rhythm guitars and everything else
4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,690
and really just kind of sore on top of
the mix so I'm going to play the little
5
00:00:15,690 --> 00:00:18,900
section that I'm going to to work on
here just so you can hear what the end
6
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:22,160
result sounds like
7
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:38,430
all right so you can hear how here how
that's really right up in your face and
8
00:00:38,430 --> 00:00:42,120
it just stays on top of the mix the
whole time so let's see what the raw
9
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,500
guitar track sounded like
10
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:04,670
so first up I've got an SSL channel for
EQ here so my first step is to set the
11
00:01:04,670 --> 00:01:09,260
high-pass filter and I have this set
pretty high at 180 because on a lead
12
00:01:09,260 --> 00:01:12,830
guitar track like this when it's mostly
on the higher strings or at least on the
13
00:01:12,830 --> 00:01:16,730
middle strings and higher strings you
don't need any of the low-end below that
14
00:01:16,730 --> 00:01:21,260
that's just going to help it that's just
going to make it a clash with the rhythm
15
00:01:21,260 --> 00:01:24,350
guitars in the bass and it's just going
to be kind of Rumble that's there so
16
00:01:24,350 --> 00:01:27,310
let's check that out
17
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,140
Oh
18
00:01:42,150 --> 00:01:46,210
so hopefully you can hear how it just
takes that all of the subtle rubble
19
00:01:46,210 --> 00:01:50,290
that's in there and just really focuses
it where we want it next we've got a
20
00:01:50,290 --> 00:01:54,630
low-pass filter at 10 K just to get rid
of all the the hissing noise up top
21
00:01:54,630 --> 00:02:01,150
alright moving down here adding some
brightness at about 7 K not a whole not
22
00:02:01,150 --> 00:02:04,530
a big boost but we'll check that out
23
00:02:15,989 --> 00:02:21,280
so just adding a little air on top
moving down at boost at 2.5 k and
24
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,879
boosting like guitar especially the
guitar at 2.5 k it's going to give it a
25
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:31,769
little extra bite and kind of aggression
in the mix so I'll a be that as well
26
00:02:50,090 --> 00:02:54,690
alright moving down again we've got
another boost at about 1.5 K and that's
27
00:02:54,690 --> 00:02:58,080
going to help it
give the mid-range cut that we need
28
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:12,470
that's going to sit on top like a vocal
and poke through the other guitars and
29
00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:17,490
those 1.5 2.5 k frequencies or what you
really want to focus on boosting to
30
00:03:17,490 --> 00:03:21,450
two-letter lead guitar cut through the
mix so all of these are fairly subtle
31
00:03:21,450 --> 00:03:26,270
moves on their own but let's see what
it's what it adds up to here
32
00:03:35,970 --> 00:03:40,659
the mid-range boosts even make it sound
maybe a little bit too hokey or too
33
00:03:40,659 --> 00:03:43,989
strong in the mid-range but in the
context of the mix it works works
34
00:03:43,989 --> 00:03:49,840
perfectly so next I've got a the CL 3 CL
a 3a compressor which I use a lot on
35
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,190
electric guitars I use the electric
guitar preset here so you can see so
36
00:03:54,190 --> 00:03:56,970
I'll do an a/b here
37
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,470
Oh
38
00:04:07,780 --> 00:04:12,409
just gives it a little squeeze that
sounds a nice on guitars it's not so
39
00:04:12,409 --> 00:04:16,940
much for dynamic or level control it
just kind of smoothes it as squeezes it
40
00:04:16,940 --> 00:04:19,579
a little bit and gives it a good
character
41
00:04:19,579 --> 00:04:23,330
so finally I've got the L one limiter
which I actually use quite a bit on lead
42
00:04:23,330 --> 00:04:28,039
guitars and this is just going to take
off the the high high peaks and just
43
00:04:28,039 --> 00:04:33,160
really put it right up in your face and
have it not moving away
44
00:04:42,340 --> 00:04:44,370
Oh
45
00:04:53,020 --> 00:04:59,060
so it's only doing a few DB at a time
and it's not necessarily working on it
46
00:04:59,060 --> 00:05:03,230
constantly but hopefully you can hear
when I switch it on the guitars just
47
00:05:03,230 --> 00:05:07,790
right up there like right in your face
it doesn't move every note just cuts
48
00:05:07,790 --> 00:05:12,520
right through there and is right up
front I'll do one more a beyond that
49
00:05:23,070 --> 00:05:26,920
all right so that's my whole chain
pretty simple just some EQ compression
50
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,900
and a little bit of limiting let's just
listen to it one more time I'll pass all
51
00:05:31,900 --> 00:05:36,030
my plugins and then switch them on
halfway through
52
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,050
that's how you can help a lead guitar
cut through the mix okay you guys hope
