I figured the difference between A and B in the beginning could be bigger, but here are the main differences if you're questioning: 1. The kick is slightly quieter.. the attack is not so prominent in the first, nor the low end of the kick 2. There's a lot of crowd in the bass in the first version coming from the pads... in the second, it shines through a bit more and you can hear both a bit better
Reference tracks are a big big key... good advice. When mixing, I would recommend creating more headroom on your channels. But this is about muddiness and I totally agree on your moves. I would add, that sometimes, with a pad, its better to get rid of the lower note on the keyboard and then you won't need to EQ out as much of it, seems to be a bit fuller that way. However, that depends on where the sound is from and its not always a solution.
I 100% agree Rainier!! But I mean, sometimes low cutting is a more 'one move fits all', you know? Glad you liekd the video though! Don't forget to join our Discord at abstraktmusiclab.com//discord
Thanks Leo, Good stuff. For rolling of low-end on non-bass elements.... The eq curve ...why do you use the slow curve and not the steep curve? Or when which to use?
I normally use a 12db curve when is further up because it's less aggressive to phase. When I'm splitting my basses in different sections, I use 48db curves Sorry for the slow response =DD Should have been steeper here =DD
Great stuff Leo. Instantly learnt a lot! I was watching a video by Zen of Zen World and he was talking about how to do it sort of without having a reference track. He said put the kick at -6db and then start mixing everything from there. Of course this was a "do it by ear and SPAN technique". I like the reference approach better though. Thanks again. Such videos are greatly appreciated.
Max!!! Glad you liked it man! I view this technique is more 'mathematical'. Of course there's always the ears perception, but I like how you can always replicate this one!
Yeah man, I figured it's too close indeed. I do notice the kick being quieter, the bass being more crowded and muffled because the pads are getting on top of the bass, but indeed.. the difference could have been bigger
@@AbstraktMusicLab I was meme-ing my headphones! It has nothing to do with your mix. I am listening on Hyperx Cloud Alpha S ahahha, I still didn't buy the dt770 pro, but I ordered them today so finally I will be able to really listen
That is something that I do with the mastering chain ON, while I'm mixing and mastering, and also that I do without the mastering chain when I'm only creating. Both work really well, but yes, you do have to consider this when mastering.

ps can we have a video about bass bussing? / bussing everything else?
Likely coming soon!
from this:
to this:
my headphones: it's the same thing
Yeah man, I figured it's too close indeed.

pay attention to the kick especially, and you'll see that it gets quieter...

don't we have to consider that while limiting on the master the difference between kick and bass will vary?
That is something that I do with the mastering chain ON, while I'm mixing and mastering, and also that I do without the mastering chain when I'm only creating. Both work really well, but yes, you do have to consider this when mastering.
