Join Larry Crane for an in-depth discussion in this video Automate EQ on fake strings, part of Real Recording School Weekly.
- [Instructor] This technique stems from a trick…used in a lot of pop and electronic dance music,…where an EQ plugin is automated or played…like the cutoff filter on a synthesizer.…Simply put, slap a one-band EQ plugin…on a higher pitched or brighter string synth…or sample part, select a low pass filter,…then set it up so you can automate the frequency.…Set the track to learn your moves, and mouse away.…Alright, and here we go.…We'll just grab ahold of the frequency.…(upbeat instrumental music)…(upbeat instrumental music)…Now you've got automation that opens up the sound…as it moves along here, and you can see it work.…
(upbeat instrumental music)…(string instrumental music)…(full upbeat instrumental music)…And that can work really great for the beginning of a song,…but what about other uses?…Let's set up this one.…I'll do shorter.…Lots of times I'll do a shorter EQ move…just to add a little bit of effect.…
(upbeat instrumental music)…Oops.…(laughs)…Let me just start it like this.…(upbeat instrumental music)…So you can see how that sort of adds expressiveness…
