This must be one of the best tutorial videos out there! It inspires me to squeeze even more quality out of my mixes. 👍🏻

@larrymagico 11 месяцев назад

This was easily one of the best treatments of low end I've heard. I just hate that I'm not in my studio RIGHT NOW to try out some of these concepts!

@samnielsen 11 месяцев назад

Wow, you really managed to explain so many things I haven’t been able to wrap my head around before, and in a very easy way! You’re a really good teacher 💪

@cullengreaves736 3 месяца назад

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Definitely doubling back to watch all the gold that I’ve missed in previous videos. Cheers!

@alexkid1 Год назад

What a fantastic video. Thanks for all the knowledge.

@dmalmstrom9445 Год назад

Mixing music is by far the most complex task I have ever engaged in! Thanks for the great tutorials! You are a very skilled communicator. I worked so hard on a recent mix, only to send it off for mastering and found the low end resonance I worked so hard on ..to tame... came back to haunt me again with mastering/limiting.:(

@tunneltu 11 месяцев назад

because you mix in a small untreated room?

@tunneltu 11 месяцев назад

Show me your mixes :)

@SPAZZOID100 5 месяцев назад

That is because your mastering engineer felt your mix was too boomy.

@TheFrankiejay 11 месяцев назад

Excellent tutorial. I enjoyed and learned so much from it. One of the best, if not the best low end tutorial I’ve watched on RU-vid. Now it’s time for me to implement some or all of these strategies. I may have to remix some of my songs but it would be worth it. Thank you so much 👍🏿

@Frank.Zimmermann Год назад

Thanks for this very insightful video, Geoff. Closing the bass port of the near-field monitors is definitely a technique I will try-very interesting, I would never have thought of that. Learned something again, thank you so much!

Awesome Geoff! The most well explained, comprehensive instructional on low end I have seen, and I’ve seen a ton. 😮 Total Balance Control is on every project. And, more recently, Low End Focus.

@jimslominski8006 Год назад

I love your videos - informative, clear, and concise. I always end up learning new things that I can apply right away, with results. You asked for some tips and tricks of our own. Here's one that I've been using of late and I find helpful - using Mid-Side EQ on bass-heavy tracks and clamping down on the Side and filtering out the low end on the sides, to send most of the bass energy to the Mid. I feel like it helps in tightening the bass and allows me to tame it easier using some of the techniques you've already listed here. Anyway, great job, as always. Looking forward to more!

@DreamsongsProductions 9 месяцев назад

@CoreyDeeWilliams 9 месяцев назад

Fantastic video! I have leaned to work with the acoustics of my room by making adjustments, but mostly by comparing my mixes to the sound of other professionally mixed and mastered songs, but this takes me a step further! I plan to look into the plugins you used and get to know them. Thank you!! ✌

@paulcollins2004 9 месяцев назад

I like the comment about plugging the base ports on a loud speaker for a tighter base. I've had an old fisher stereo from the 70s and it didn't come with ports on the speakers and the base sounded great. Glad to see someone else appriciating that type of base. Great content.

@wesleyeason5031 Год назад

This Gentleman is the best instructor if you-will. If every encounter. I put my "Good" headphones on my bad android. And started the video over. To have someone explain technical specs and knowledge with such simplicity and with logic is not easy. I have always been a visual learner and with dysgraphia I had to discover. I loved this knowledge but school in the 80s perhaps still. Had teacher's in the science arena whom most near all left me feeling confused. I need to understand before my motor skills will memorize. Not to hug this post, schools are by in fact designed to have you memorize if you understand later or well memorizing you are over utilizing motor skills. The essence of Dysgraphia is to block anything that doesn't make sense. This is the crux of memorize teaching over understand. I have a whole new greater respect for Isotope. Thank You.

@fredferiz7391 6 месяцев назад

Woa! First,thank you on this presice topic. Wonderfull tips and infos streching from room treatment,monitors and lastly that LOW END problem. I really like the tip on compression for low energy (high pass).I was having that problem,to much pumping effect when i started mastering. Huge thanks for Izotope providing this wonderfull material to us! I wish happy mixing and mastering that low end for all of us!
