Hi David. In which mixing course(s) can I find these settings, these tricks for low ends? EDM? I'm thinking of buying a 12 inch sub from Eve Audio too even if the 3070 that I have reproduces 30 hertz not too bad. This will help me better understand what is happening in the sound. THANKS

@wavkingz 7 месяцев назад

Cool, thanks for using my mix on this video David! I took your advice from the mix feedback you gave and it helped a lot! This pretty much highlights why I need better sub monitoring. None of my playback systems could reproduce that well enough for me to detect it as an issue.

This video is so timely for me. I decided just this weekend to get serious about fixing my bass lines to satisfaction and spent all night trying to figure out why my bass is either too nasal sounding or hollow or just out of control.

Great video! I was thinking about creating a separate project where I add in the sub after the track is mastered but your explanation makes it clear that the issue isn’t with the imbalance of levels within the daw but the speakers being overloaded in the lows. So even if I did that the sub would still need to be balanced for it to move the speakers properly. Thanks a lot of this one!

@AuroraBPolaris 7 месяцев назад

Not only that, but i have come across many projects in the past (both mine and from other artists) who boost way too much their low end, thus reducing drastically their dynamic range available for a balanced mix. It's insane how less is more most of the time when speaking about sub bass frequencies. I will say however that your video explains this in such simple yet advanced manners, i always come back to your videos for a little "knowledge refresh" :)

Great video, I actually had this exact problem earlier today. My mix had a lot of sub bass and while it was okay on my big speakers everything broke apart when I tested it on a small JBL speaker. After a while I figured that I could drastically lower the volume of the sub bass and it still sounded cool (and more controled) on my big speakers while translating much better to other systems.

Excellent tips here. All of my mixing is live work, and a lot of the time when people bring along backing tracks for their performances, I need to fix something on the low end...by a lot of the time, I mean almost all the time. In my smallest rig I'm typically using at least two 18" subwoofers, so they have no trouble recreating the low end. When it's uncontrolled, it's simply too much. I love bass that shakes the walls (who doesn't) but it still needs to be controlled.

@djvoid1 7 месяцев назад

I always think of it in terms of the fundamental being the absolute, and the harmonics being the relative. The fundamental hits a set level determined by the vibe of the song, and the harmonics just get saturated to the point where they show up in the right places (adding density, being able to determine notes clearly on smaller speakers, appropriate aggressiveness etc) outside of the sub region.

@WithoutTroy 6 месяцев назад

Great tips here! Thank you. I think I learned it from one of your other videos, but I use a shelf and not a HPF for controlling my low end to still leaving some sun intact to avoid a weak sounding mix. Using reference tracks to get my sub levels in the ball park helps tremendously versus trusting my ears… mine are little liars that say everything sounds good when in fact, my mixes are typically trash until I use a reference track.

@WisdomHouseCreative 7 месяцев назад

Great video. It seems like sub energy that sustains def needs to be reduced with low shelf, fader rides, compression etc. But shorter bursts of sub energy can be bigger in the mix--but still managed with the above tools--because their shortness prevents them from swallowing up the rest of the mix.

The 5% difference can also be continued with the car analogy where once you reach a point of diminishing returns you end up paying thousands of pounds/dollars for that 5% of performance that will set you above the rest, this is a good way to think about how important that 5% really is which also emphasises the importance on translating that to every aspect of the mix to the best of your ability. Some great knowledge as always. 👍👍👍👍

@Stormsurf001 7 месяцев назад

Thanks you so much. I was having issues with low end in my mixes. I only have 6 inch drivers in the studio monitors and good room treatment. I have a good sub downstairs and one in the car. But having to mix and then drag the files downstairs to play it only to find the bass isn't right, then go back upstairs and remix and then do that cycle multiple times was becoming a real pain. Other RU-vid mix tutorials all talk about using headphones etc. But I just finally decided you have to hear and feel the low end from 60hz down. There's no option other than having a 12 inch driver. And the last thing I want is to get my song played on some mega system at a club only to find out the low end is out of control. So I decided - 'You cant mix what you cant hear'. And the simple truth is it's gonna take some money to hear it. Not that much, but some. Thanks David!

@NYCBoomBap4Life День назад

Really great video, man. I actually kind of realized this on my own years ago but haven't thought about it for years because I have a pretty nice system that pretty much never distorts no matter how loud I play it or how low the bass gets, but I definitely remember experiencing these issues back in the day when I had smaller, lower quality speakers and no subwoofers. I love that you got so worked up about people cutting the deep lows out of a mix, I also don't approve. Those are so essential to the low end sounding proper, even if you have no content that's strong at 40hz and below, cutting it does something to ruin the impact of your low end. Especially if you use a steep slope while cutting them out.

@jacksmith4460 7 месяцев назад

This makes total sense, and is also the reason why Bass players will mix a 1x15 cab and another cab that might be 4x10 or even 6x8 because the big speaker handles the low lows, and keeps the rest of the range cleaner, whilst the smaller speakers handle the mids and above. Great video David, despite already knowing this about bass guitar my brain had not actually made the connection in the context of Mixing

@fakshen1973 6 месяцев назад

To put it simply, large speakers handle low end better. But because of their mass, they don't translate.higher frequencies well. They have so much inertia, that they will just overshoot or not reverse polarity fast enough. That's why you'll have cabinets with two or more drivers and a cross-over filtering for each driver.

@user-yo6ji2er1u 6 месяцев назад

this is an incredible treatise on low end mixing...you summed up in a few minutes what took me years of trial and error. very very on point. Just a helpful set of solutions that worked for me: The trick for me was to compress the lower frequencies of heavy bass producing instruments (kick, bass etc...) from 50hz to below . but before you can do this you need 2 things and BOTH are necessary: 1) CORNER bass traps to discern the SUB frequencies by attenuating the lower frequencies below 80hz 2) Large speakers...Yes its true...if you dont have large speakers (8" and above) You cant hear or better yet feel the frequencies down there NOTE: I also, Hi pass the bass (30hz and above) and kick (35hz and above) and other instruments depending on the needs of the mix.

@songlove7777 2 месяца назад

Wow! So great to be able to actually see what's happening down there. My stuff (indie rock) doesn't have much happening down below 40hz, but I think what's been helping me is using izotope tonal balance control. Because my monitors are small I rely on it to show me if there's too much low end down there compared to my references. There's also Sonible smart:balance that I think there's a review of on this channel I meant to check out.

@TonyMacaroni69_ 6 месяцев назад

Good advice! Also very very important to consider is the choice of notes for your bass. In the first mix, it might've been wiser to use the same note one octave up to make sure it gets heard on all systems.

@mattymenck 7 месяцев назад

Great advice as always David, absolutely agree. But I figured out that a low-cut SOMETIMES can do well on particular scenarios or genres, like EDM and electronic music without losing the desired wight. Just would like to hear if you never do any low cuts on a master bus, or low frequency instrument busses, or even on the bass source channels itself ? Do you control the lows with dynamics and levels only ? Of course with some EQ moves, sidechain and saturation when needed I guess. From my experience in some cases the low end can sound even tighter and still powerful when cutting the master bus. But I´m also aware about pre-ringing in linear phase mode, or phase shifting in regular eq´s. I know some guys are using low shelves instead of low-cuts to avoid phase issues, but on the other hand sometimes I can achieve a tight and powerful low-end even by using (”forbidden”) steep cut filters, f.e. more then 24db/oct. I still remember the rule: the steeper the filter the bigger the problems, but like I said, sometimes it works for me. That's why I´m asking if this is a general rule for you to never cut the master bus ? So maybe its time for me to overthink my experience completely and never have to deal with pre-ringing and phase stuff on the lows again. Thanks man, high value content at all !

@billb3414 6 месяцев назад

Let me ask you this question: Are the results you get from your choices supporting the song? If so, then you're doing it right. Of course we all have our own opinions on the "proper" way to mix a song. But lets take a step back and realize, we all have our own opinions and nobody can tell another person the right way. If your choices make the song better, then continue doing what you do. It's as simple as that to be honest. And I agree with you with cutting some low end to tighten up the sub frequencies. It's allowing your speakers to work more efficiently. Your speakers have to vibrate at a certain rate based on the harmonic content it's projecting from its tweeter and woofer. Imagine you are mixing a song and there's energy around 30hz on a kick which isn't doing much at all for the intelligibility of the kick drum. Well, by keeping that 30hz energy, you're telling your woofer to 'push and pull' at an unnecessary rate. So if you roll off those unnecessary frequencies around 30hz, you're allowing your speaker to work on the MOST IMPORTANT frequencies of the kick drum. This means you'll get a more defined kick drum. As far as using low shelves instead of low cut filters goes... That's a personal preference. Phase shift normally isn't an issue because if it was, we would avoid EQ since that's how EQ works (by shifting phase). So unless you EQ something and hear some smearing occurring or something weird, why would you worry about the effects of a tool you choose to use? That's like driving a car and worrying about catching a red light. Phase shift isn't necessarily a bad thing unless it causes issues in what you're hearing. And in that case, of course you're going to do something different. Also remember, phase shift is part of a "sound"! Just like old circuitry on vintage gear had negative side effects.... It still gave desirable results despite its flaws. So to answer your question... Should you roll off low end on a kick drum or should you not? The answer is, it depends on the song and the results you and the artist are aiming for. Both ways can work.

The timing of this video, for me personally, couldnt be any more flawless even if you tried! 😅 Ive been working on a mix for a while, mainly using it as a learning/experimemtal mix. And Im at the very end of it and have been playing with the low end and just experienced similar problems as what your covering. So Ill be sending it to you shortly (1-2 days). But this High Pass hype is wild man! I suppose its one of the pro's to not going to school for audio or working directly under someone with set ways. And if you have decent discernment your pretty good at separating good from BS info online. So I have never high passed or cut frequencies just because. Of course Im definitely not saying that I do it all perfectly either 😂! Your a God send to me bro! Thank you!
