Google heard your bass

Here’s two for you 6) EQing the low end of your kick and bass is a good idea - low end EQ adds either phase rotation to the low end, or pre/post ringing artefacts if using linear EQ which cause more issues. It’s possible to work around these issues with ducking and phase management, but it’s a lot to manage especially if you ever want to change the EQ again later. Instead get the bass or kick synthesis right in the first place so you don’t need to add EQ. Learn how to edit wave tables to bake EQ choices in to the harmonic levels. 7) stereo width in the bass is bad. This used to be true when songs were played from vinyl, or if not correctly thinking about how a mono down mix affects phase cancellation (this is relevant for large PA sounds systems where they typically still play tracks in mono or use large subs - which are mono in nature. Correctly dealing with mono down mixing can still allow you to create stereo bass in your track, which can sound great for consumer playback , especially headphones, so don’t shy away from it.

Absolutely an simple but straightforward tutorial on bass mixing. I mean by the time you got to the end on bass & kick not coming through in the mix. I heard the bass not present like it should. Then you explained what had happened. Great short powerful class.❤🤘

You are always using so clean and crisp sounds in your videos that gives me inspiration! 👊👑

I really appreciate how concise and directly applicable all of these tips are. Thank you!

This is a much talked about topic and I think you did an excellent job in explaining the issues in a very understandable way! Awesome work!

Yeah I feel like way too many people overlook the taking out the lows of all their instruments with highs. Kind of hilarious because that's the very first thing you learn when you watch a music production video😂😂

dude i wanted to take the time to tell you how much i love this channel bro! soo much tips and knowledge. helping me cut the cream! working on my basslines now they are tricky! 😝

Sir, you singlehandedly carried everything I needed to know about the low end. Thank you 🙏

THIS is a really helpful video. Saw so many vids and tuts about mixing and EQing, but nothing of that quality. Thanks alot!

I absolutely love the way you explain things!

I always learn so much from your videos, I can’t wait to try this out on my mixes!!! Thank you!!

great tutorial and music! That tune sounds very good, hope you have it somewhere full release

Thank you for this. I’m somewhere in the middle with my knowledge but still a noob. Love your channel!

For a beginner you've explained this brilliantly. Thank you!

I just came across this video, but I already knew this from car audio installations and tuning. But I think this video should get A LOT of traction for people just starting to make music. Very very important

great advice and super helpful thank you brotha !

Holy shit bro! I haven’t came across you in a while, glad you still making videos bro. It’s crazy too bc a few months ago I was wondering what happened to you

It’s awesome to see how much there is to music

Suddenly after few months he's back with a very helpful video!

I’ve been doing this since the 90s didn’t really know why exactly but I just liked the way pushed and pulled

Super helpful. Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Alex, thank you so much for this video - I couldn't subscribe fast enough. Your explanations are excellent and I have learned so much from just this one video. Thank you again!

Amazing vid. Very to the point. To expand on the masking aspect. Sometimes it’s not just the low end of the other instruments clashing with the bass. It’s having too much low mids and mid frequencies can make you “perceive” a lack of bass. You can sometimes achieve the perception of a deeper low end by scooping out low mids on things. It’s easy to go overboard and get it too thin, but it works!

This was just the tutorial I needed 🙏🥺 I would love to see also when to use and when not to use reverb.

Excellent pro tips. Thanks. Subbed.

This is exactly how I mix. Great tips.

Way to cram a lot of legit info into 10 minutes! Super helpful!

Great instruction, clear comms!

Thanks for this. Clear explanation. I’m literally on day 16 of learning how to do any of this. Immediate subscribe.

VERY VERY USEFULL info!! and WELL explained THANK YOU!!

Awesome tips! I've always wondered why my bass doesn't hit as hard as ARTBAT bass for example. Now I know why lol. Thanks!

Good tips. For EQ-ing the low-end I'd personally use a low-shelf filter, as that doesn't change the phase as much as a high-pass filter.

Yep this video is the one 🙌🏾🔥💯 thnx bro

thank you alex!

You are incredible

thank god, finally a likable edm tut guy

Nice!! I use a mid-side EQ on my Reese to stay mono in the sub bass range and wider in the high end

New sub! I’ll probably revisit this video a few times. I write metal music but this is still so helpful.

Thank you!! ❤ You are great

Thank you for sharing

Alex rome the best professor I can had in my life😂😂❤🎉

Alex Rome The Best of the Best!!

Another thing for taking out the low end of everything else: ALWAYS CHECK YOUR HIHATS. You’ll be surprised how many hihat samples have phantom sub frequencies that can mess up your mix.

Last up was fire❤.

Those headphones are huge.

For Bass-Sidechaining, I usually like to put a multiband compressor onto the non-kick-track, and sidechain just the lows.

You made my day

Excellent course Thanks you

Great video mate very informative and not boring like the rest of tutorials and advice videos. I normally watch 2 mins of a video and that's why I can't produce hahaha

you’re a god of basss bro 🫶🏻 sick tutorial and really clear explanation

Thank you sir ❤

You are a real creative person

I like this man

Alex... this video has very nice content. Congratulations. It would be great if you'd played both before and after following each other for further consolidation of the principles you are explaining, as well as comparable portions of audio (such as in the part where you are filtering all the pads to enhance the bass, the comparing piece of audio after contains a vocal that goes on top of everything, thus making it impossible to appreciate what you were explaining before). Good and useful content man!!!

There is also some interesting phase effects when kick and Bass come together

My legend ❤

Great job keeping your explanations simple throughout, although I prefer shelf bands to brickwall, personally. Also the bald look is a win, brother

I didn't understand any of it but it was interesting to watch and hear and... Feel. Thanks.

We love alex !

Great video!

Thank you megamind!

Very good explained!

Hey Alex what I'd like to see next is how to keep your mid and side levels consistent, there's some weird things that happens in a stereo mix that makes it so that your mono mix doesn't sound the same volume as your stereo mix

@waliddeui6725

Ай бұрын

It can be a phase cancelation, too many effects (stereo,reverb...) so your instruments lose their power. Maybe you did a huge high pass or high passing with an eq that doesn't have a linear phase, so yeah, you're definitely gonna lose something in mono, that's for sure, but these are some problems i faced, it can be masking too and how your instruments are being spread in the frequency spectrum so everything has it's place without fighting or maybe you only need to reset your volume faders cause you've been fooled with the stereo image

@SALEENS7GTR5

Ай бұрын

Stereo separation can make stereo mixes sound big, but get lost in mono. As such, using phase shifting for sounds instead of panning or stereo separation can make stereo mixes sound wide and mono mixes sound just as full. Dan Worral has some excellent videos on phase separation.

Thank you!

This was so good! Can I just ask that you put more before and afters at the end of each tip, or, since you pretty much already are, have less time in between them by putting the talking before or after _both_ of the clips you're comparing? Especially with the sidechaining examples, I couldn't really tell the difference between the two clips, even though there were only a few seconds between them. Then, when I replayed them one after another with the scroll bar, it was really obvious. Thanks for the advice!

4:00 that bass sounded very good for a Hard Techno track

You have a very good ear brother

Great help and super informative. I'd be careful about leaning on sidechain for your kick, as it's sort of a Band-Aid. It worked in this genre, but IMO you're better off choosing complimentary sounds to start. I think your philosophy on chords and bass still apply to kick and bass: EQ them to their own areas with intent and don't just rely on sidechain to fix it for you. Thanks for the vid.

Yooo thats fire

Excellent advice. No bullshit.

Great Video Alex ❤
