Why scooping the mids is BAD

How wonderful! He's transposing popular music to the 528 magic frequency. I can't wait to replace my whole iTunes library. :hyper:

I came across this video. Apparently 528 Hz is key to everything. Scooping your mids loses this frequency of course e.g. the Fender Rumble contour button drops it around 670 Hz. On the other hand, 741 Hz and 440 Hz is the devil and is promoted as a plot to make everyone sick for some reason so scooping those mids could be beneficial. I’m not sure.

At any rate this video discusses this but gets a little off topic and goes on and the narrator is very insistent about something or other.

The graphics are way cool and trippy.



Yikes!!! Dr. OZ revisited…. LOL!!

Seriously, I thought this thread was going to be about being able to hear your bass in the mix.

So, the interval of a tritone is so dissonant that extended exposure to it can kill you?

Well, this man is doing his part to save us from all of those "jazzy" intervals.
