Bass/Low-end issue(s)


Recommended Posts

I cant tell how deep my low end is for these 3 songs. http://soundcloud.com/aires/lost-city, http://soundcloud.com/aires/air3s-heavy, http://soundcloud.com/aires/air3s-transmission

I only know transmission is a bit muddy because it sounded muddy to me for some reason.

Since im still getting used to listening/breaking in my new (but not that great sennheiser) headphones, its a bit difficult to tell what I should cut or if I should just kill some freqs on the master track.

Yeah, I'm not sure if it's clear (haven't listened to the tune) but I mean: you adjust your low pass filters to 100 Hz. Then you proceed to match the hi pass filter of the drum with the hi pass filter of the bass, from zero hertz to more (0+ Hz). Say the bass at 40Hz and the drums at 50hz, but then you match (fine tune) them using your ears. There is always a sweetspot. Once this is done, you bring those lo pass filters back to their starting point values (example: guitars 12kHz, drums 18kHz, bass X kHz) and match them. But the point is that the bass would be even in the ensemble, giving you a chance to EQ tracks or the master buss. It's just an experimental approach I found. Don't tell anyone.

I'll keep it quiet;-)
