- Kick and Bass are among the easiest things to get wrong and the hardest things to get right in a mix… until now! Join Gregory Scott, Kush Audio’s resident plugin and hardware designer, as he shares one of the simplest, easiest hacks for getting these two unruly elements under control.

Why do I get the feeling that after recording these you push a button and the wall opens up, and there, behind bullet proof glass in a hermetically sealed climate controlled robe humidor (rumoured to be of qualude feuled Hugh Hefner design) is a red velvet robe.
After robing up and shooting your cuffs two security guards open a door with a gargoyle peep hole and instantly you are flanked by the beautiful and interesting people.
Another gargoyle door and you walk in, nod to Barry White at the piano and then the real after dark begins...
😂😂😂
That's freaking excellent. I can see it now!!
hahaha dude... 100%. I just get the feeling that UBK knows how to party.
Amazing comment, hahaha. I've definitely gotten that vibe, but on the other hand, he could also just be an easy going pot-loving surfer dude.

Gregory remains the king of painfully useful advice.
Not to mention painfully handsome :)
@@CalvinArsenia gotta love him for it all
Once again, Gregory is shoveling the gold out the door for free. It's the stuff like this that makes an instant difference in how I RELATE to the music, not just how I hear it. Also, a big "YES, PLEASE" to the idea of a whole episode on making that bass sound good.
This is so fucking good holy shit. Best mixing channel on UA-cam, and has been for a while.
I think you're fucking correct... :)
Totes fucking true... :-p
Amen. This is the ONLY channel I bother to recommend to others.
It's like if God wanted to explain sound to man and thought I'm gonna need a Jesus Two point O to get this stuff across to them. And then God created Gregory Scott. And he did look upon his creation, and did send him upon the earth. And he did educate man that there was a reason he made him with two ears and one mouth. And man did understand "oh I'm meant to listen twice as much as I talk. I get ya". Then God thought, mmm tomorrow's Sunday. I reckon I'll have the day off.
Fucking Agreed!
The only person I watch who dont even show the daw ✊🏾✊🏾 you have to listen and understand.
Well said
Holy shit bruh, That never dawned on me... whoa
If this guy had a UA-cam channel, I’d be a subscriber.
🤔
OMG!! - I haven't heard this spoken of in a long long time - and I still do that in the digital age. I had only just started in the late 80s early 90s - and the guy who I saw do that technique was none other than.... Brian Eno. I was brought into a school that had won lottery funding as a music teacher with "some" skills in mixing to help launch a lottery funded music department with recording studio.... the guy who designed it was Brian Eno. I saw him do that very technique and whilst he didn't explain it as brilliantly as you just did - he said "you gotta feel the beat as well as hear it" .... awesome!!!
cool story 🤘
Did he put sugar on your tongue?
This channel has a wealth of great info. You’re constantly covering angles of production that I’ve never heard anyone else discuss. I’ve been mixing for about 20 years and never learned this technique. Thanks for all you do man and keep up the awesome videos
I appreciate that!
Same here! I mix for an international label...but when noone looks, I crawl under the desk to watch After Hours.
Usually I take your advice seriously and listen to your videos analytically, but this is on another level. You, my friend, are giving real value with these videos and I hope more people will notice it. Thank you a lot for this pure gold!
First time hearing a Gregory Scott's video after having a beer. I'm scared.
Have mercy Mix Jesus
Between him and Marc Daniel Nelson - the charisma, audio knowledge (& hair) is on another level!
Mixing is as much about technicality as it is about philosophy. Pure gold, as usual...
No doubt!
Best mixing channel on the internet. Thank you.
I've naturally always done this and thought I was "wrong" for not only using my ears! Thank you for making me feel like I'm not mad!
Same here!
If the end result sounds good it absolutely doesn't matter how you reached it. You can even put your butt against the rubber surrounding of the woofer and this way achieved the most amazing kick+bass relation ever heard by human kind. However I advise you to watch out who you tell this original mixing technique to. 😂 Bottomline(Pun intented): If you have good trained ears, NOTHING matters. Nobody's ever going to know what plugins you used on what and if the plugins were even intented for that sound. Use plugins on sounds they were not intended for. It makes for the most interesting creative sounds. Let all restrictions go and make some art. 😉
Same! I referenced pro songs and try to match the "movement" of the woofer with my own mixes!
I do this too but I didn’t have a reason until now
Someone told me this years ago, and really helped me a lot. I always recommend it to others. Love this channel.
Dude this tip literally changed how I mix my low ends. It really works wonders. Can't thank you enough for content like this. The best channel I've come across in years.
What I love about Greg's advice. There is no right or wrong. It's how it makes you feel that's important.
Forget being a national treasure, you're a planetary treasure!
Galactic, no, Universal treasure
This trick is the most After Hours thing I've seen on the channel.
life hacking the kick/drum relationship, with 2 fingers... true gold ! As usual.
I've done the "feeling the speaker" trick for decades now and everyone looks at me like I'm insane. I've always sworn that I can feel the details in the transient of the kick and snare better than I can hear it. Especially after listening for more than 15 minutes straight imo. Also feeling the air flow from the ports if you have ported speakers. An overly loud sub freq will result in an obscene and disproportionate volume of air coming out of the ports even though you may not hear the freqs themselves. A well mixed low end usually will make the air coming out feel like its resonating with the key of the song.
Man, you're freaking owning it with your whole attitude like it was the most natural thing in the world to do. Right from the start. Like: What? You've never touched your woofers while mixing? Really? Ya man. You're my man. I love your videos.
Great tip as always!
Using a SubPac could be 2010's alternative to this trick.
In all the years I have been on this mixing journey I have never encountered this way of thinking/visualising, let alone sensing, the kick/bass relationship. And in just a few short minutes of Kush-Time my mind is expanded, my eyes and senses are opened some more, and my morale and enthusiasm gets a boost of excitement. I can’t wait to try this out!! Once again I want to say a huge thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. 🙏👍
Thank you bass god Owen Wilson you keep saving my mixes one vid at a time 🙏🙏🙏
It's amazing how much you can highpass that kick and still have it wallop. For setting level, I'll send just the kick and snare through the mixbuss compressor, hitting both at equal amounts. Then bring in the bass with the kick and do the same thing. After that, start moving up the highpass until the kick feels tight and out of the way of the sub of the bass; like you, sometimes up as high as 50-60hz. At that point, the groove of the kick is enhancing and playing nicely with both the bass and the snare.
I haven't tried the finger trick, though. It's now on my to-do list for tomorrow!
Hallelujah!!!! Teacher teach us more!!
It's a timeless technique. I did it so much with an old pair of monitors that I left an indentation in the rubber surround 😆
These are Jedi Mixing skills being shared with the world out of sheer love for music. :rockon:
I read this trick in an audio book but was never able to completely understand and apply it, now it all makes sense to me, thanks for putting it out.
I remember this back then., Visual response of the cone. Building blocks in relation. Great lesson as always.
I did this intuitively before I got a Subpac. But it's a priceless technique and skill
"If you do that... life is gooood".... amen
Absolutely!
Amazing advice. Best channel on mixing as far as I’m concerned. You actually focus on how to make audio musical and artistic more so then just “technically” right like so many other channels. And guys, if you haven’t checked out Gregory’s band Sneaky Little Devil, DO THAT RIGHT NOW! Incredible music, super creative, and some of the dopest mixes I’ve ever heard. This guys definitely practices what he preaches. Thank you mix Jesus 🙏
Yep, he knows how to groove
Epic video as always. Keep up the vibes and the great mixing advice! Always look forward to your videos.
We love you Greg. Forever grateful.
Enjoyed every minute of this!
Invaluable advice. Best channel on UA-cam! Thank you!!!
One of the best mixing advice videos ever! Thank you Gregory!
Great tip Gregory! I really like your tutorials. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for continuing to add to these lesions!
Finnally, another episode. :D:D Always good learning here from Greg. Live Kush.
Best channel period!
Man this channel is rising ! 😃Your content is pure gold, thank you
Golden advice !!!
Rev. Scott has spoken!
Dude every time. Mind blowing.
This is my favorite channel ... once again. Thank you for making this so much fun!
What an advice... Great info Gregory. Thanks alot.
Just found your channel yesterday and I subbed instantly! The way you word things make these concepts more digestible. I’m About to apply some of these tips to my mix today !! Cheers 🍻
Mind blowing advice. THANK YOU
Thank you so much Gregory for being our mentor!
Unlike many other UA-camrs, who repeat the same crappy advice over and over and even charging money for that. You provide a very unique perspective on mixing and you do so for free.
You sir have my greatest respect!
PS: Maybe you can do some sort of a collaboration with Warren Huart, who is also an excellent teacher here on YT. Would love to see that :)
Wow, this gives feeling the groove a whole new dimension!
Gregory! you rock!
Very useful trick, kudos to you Gregory.
This actually answers many many questions.
Appreciate the knowledge.
Yep tried it, totally right on, love this channel!
Never ever heard, or considered this trick. Great channel!!
One of the best channels out there. Every bit of your formatting, production and wisdom is top notch. I would actually take a master class or subscribe to some library of additional in depth content if it were available! Big ups brother ✊☺️
Deep advice one again Gregory, thank you 🙏.
This is a supercool technique. I never thought about it. Thank you so much!
well said & thank you. I can't wait to not only try this but take everything you said to clearly show the relationship between the bass & the kick. I feel like I will be able to see the sound & feel it out as well. keep it up!
This makes so much sense and yet I would have NEVER thought of this !
It's kind of beautiful in a way, amazing :)
Woof!! Low end mix problems have never been explained better!! Can't wait to try this. Thanks so much (Instant sub!)
Excellent advice! I love all the useful tips and perspectives you give us while rarely ever looking at any sort of DAW interface .
Love that idea, I will be trying it - thanks Gregory
Thank you GS!!! Nice trick, Mr. Feely
i love hearing your videos, not only for the advice itself, but your voice is so nice and smooth.
Absolutely awesome piece of advice, kudos bro
Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Bass and drums are my current challenges right now,
so thank you for this tips. 🙏
I thought I was the only lunatic that did that 😂. I love your channel, man. Great info with great delivery. Thanks.
This channel is so good. Thank you very much kind sir for sharing your knowledge!
Greg, you're a legend. Even more amazing to think you design products too!
Wow this sounds like a truly useful idea. I will have to implement it as soon as I get my mixing computer fixed. Even though I can't mix right now I still always check out this wonderful channel.
Gregory is pure gold!Amazing attitude and sharing knowledge in a beautifully engaging way is his trademark.
Favorite production channel by far! Amazing wealth of knowledge and communicated so clearly thank you so much!
I love these videos-they teach you stuff you just don't get taught in other 'mix tutorial' videos
Your videos are the best because you teach the philosophy behind your mixing decisions.
Great episode as usual. 👍
So freaking helpful! With a home studio and neighbours I've been have such a hard time feeling the low end clearly. Loved the idea of the subpak for the tactile sub info but this trick is so simple and so effective! THANK YOU!
Awesome advice! Going to try this out tonight. Also, can't wait to "feel" some of my favorite reference mixes!!
It’s the weekend coming up and I’m gonna be feeling-up my woofer all the live long day! What a tip! Sensuality of this channel is off the charts 🔥
So cool Greg, thank you.
Sir Gregory we salute you
Hey Gregory. I just have to say man you really have changed my whole view on plugins, I used to be really spectical of them and using them, but after watching this and your older videos I thought I would try one of your plugin bundles. I must say after adding just one of your plugins, specifically the UBK-1, to one of the tracks I am working it just did wonders for the sound and feeling of the song. So happy to have found someone on youtube who knows what they are doing and also talking about! Keep these videos coming man! This one is definitely a neat trick for those who have smaller monitor speakers
Absolutely good stuff. I mix in a low room and it’s never occurred to me to get tactile with it. Thanks Greg.
Man, your videos are so fucking informative! It’s hard getting good foundation when you’re self taught and you find yourself making a heap of shit sounding mistakes that are just simply rooted in lack of foundation. Thanks for these videos!
Dang! This is an awesome tip. Just used it on a mix and discovered my low end was so weak in comparison to my reference! love your videos and how you explain without using a DAW! flippen learn so much! Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Gregory wan Kenobi you bring us to the next level in audio and artistry. Thanks so much!!!
Dude... this is truly GEEKY! Just another unique perspective. 🧐
Thanks for this information sir.
Thank you Mr.Scott for enlightening us with your knowledge.. another great technique, explained in your formidable style ✌️ Just tried this on a mix I’m working and can’t believe how well I have the bass sitting.
Thank you 👊🙂
Useful technique... very helpful in these weird spaces we convert into studios. Thanks Greg!
I love Gregory.
You, my friend, are an amazing source of knowledge! And I could listen to you read the phone book with that voice 👏👏👏
Saw this yesterday, tried it today - amazing. Works even at relatively low volume.
Thank you! Getting the kick and bass right is so important and can be quite tricky at times
I use to do the woofer touching thing just to feel the bass but you Sir have once again given me a new perspective.
Thank you.
Much apreesh my good bro! Gonna try now~!
Man, you're good. The video production, the intro and outro music, the whole vibe of the video. AND THEN, the nuggets of wisdom you give. It's just too much. You own this niche and second place isn't even close!
Aw man. I practice this old school knowledge. So refreshing to hear someone actually talk about it. I'm smiling here. (Hear).
