Why would you cut everything bellow 50hz? Can you say goodbye bass?

the frequencies are below the common trance and hardtrance bassdrums and basslines .If you cut them, the rest of your mix will have more space to unfold. Check professional productions using your favourite analyzer tool and you will recognize a "low cut" about 50hz.

Your bass will probaly have more power after cutting off all below 50hz, at least it will have more space to unfold...

Hey Trancevision!

I did a spectrum analysis of three tracks:

Paul Oakenfold - Southern Sun (Solar Stone Chillout Mix) 320kb/s
DJ Tiësto - Magik Journey (original mix) 192kb/s
BT - Godspeed 128kb/s

and each one has a boost in the 0 - 2,000 Hz range, as apposed to a cut. The only thing cut was consistantly around 16,000 Hz. This is to keep the high end under control during playback on club systems, and other high efficiancy speaker systems.

Where have you seen the cut at 50 Hz?

I would recommend leaving the lower end in the mix. I isolated the frequencies below 50Hz, and I could definately hear them until I reached 33Hz, which I am guessing is because I hit bottom with my 8" Merak sub. And I'm also guessing if I had a good sub (SVS PCi 20-39 or equivilant) I would still hear frequencies extending to the 25Hz range.

If you were to remove these frequencies, there would be a noticeable difference in low end bass, but only if you listen critically with a good sub.

Why cut any frequences? Use the right limiters and other mastering plug ins and you won't experience these problems.

You should try out Dynasone, T-Racks, Waves L1- Ultramaximizer + and dB-M-Multiband Limiter.
