Bass Questions
View this Thread in Original format

Ive read some things about freqs below 40hz being removed but would this stand true for club music? Or is it better to leave this in?

Also is it wise to simply cut all freqs up to 100Hz on a sub bass?

Yer filter's the wrong way round.

cut wherever sounds good. i sometimes cut at 100 hz sometimes 150 hz depends on the bass sounds im using and how many layers im using.

I'm just learning too, but I think most people tend to cut around 30Hz and below. This area isn't audible to the human ear and it will actually make the rest of your mix louder. You also can't hear these freqs on most monitors so it's best not to guess.

As for the sub bass, you may want to cut ABOVE 100Hz depending on the sound or if it's layer below with another mid bass sound.

Hope that helps!

:stongue: nah i cut everything up too 90hz but its strange why the spectral EQ shows as sounds still going on up to 900hz. Is there any way to remove these or is that simply harmonics that EQ cant remove easily?


@Cam just made a cut at 32hz just wasnt sure if i should with dance music

@Ster im mixing in headphones so i wanted to be sure i was doing it right


Thanks guys

The first image represents my first question (about 40hz and below)


the second image represents my second question (about rolling everything over 90hz off)

I dont know how much 1.41 Q is, but if there is even a slight resonance pinch, that could really screw up the low end cause its just so sensitive

Im not sure what you mean by that, here is a screen grab and MP3 sample of what it sounds like after i have applied all i talked about in here. This sound ok?

Yea, I thought you meant boosting up the res so it spikes which would be really bad. What you have now is good
