    • @makeediblemusic
      @makeediblemusic 13 днів тому

      Thank you, great question! I agree, a blend can be very helpful. With the video example, the drums are quite roomy, which can make it difficult to isolate the beater of the kick or body of the snare. So blending/augmenting can be a great option by looking for a sample that provides what's missing in the recording capture. In this case, a clicky kick sample might be a good help

      @makeediblemusic Місяць тому

      Very good question, thank you for asking! In this case, no, they won't--these broad EQ filters are meant to shape the tone of the bass to where it balances right within the rest of the mix, and then the compressor is meant to lock that tone into place

    But how do you find the fundamental

    • @makeediblemusic
      @makeediblemusic 2 місяці тому

      GREAT question, thank you for asking it! The fundamental frequency for a kick drum is usually between 40-75 Hz (sometimes up to 90 or 100 depending on the drum). If you sweep an EQ filter that's shaped like the one I boosted, starting from the higher area ~75 Hz and moving gradually downward to lower frequencies, you'll find a point that has a much more focused "thud" compared to the frequencies surrounding it. If that thud doesn't come forward, you might just need to boost that EQ filter a bit more and repeat--but it's there!

    • @makeediblemusic
      @makeediblemusic 2 місяці тому

      It might be the instrument--but one thing you might try is to lower the clip gain of just those single notes that are very loud, to try and bring them to the same volume as the surrounding notes

    • @makeediblemusic
      @makeediblemusic 2 місяці тому

      Thanks for getting in touch! A couple ways you could check--if you've just opened up the EQ with no adjustments yet and the meter on the top right of the plug-in stays lower than 0, then the level is in a good place. Otherwise, you could add your DAW's stock utility/gain plug-in before the EQ to bring the input level down or up if needed
