    I actually swapped back and forth between a good speaker and my phone speaker, and when you muted the distortion bus the bass literally vanished. This is a crucial trick! Good video man!

    Instead of doing the send thing, (im new to mixing, sorry)could I duplicate the track, add some distortion and blend that with the orignal track. Would that work as well, or would that be wrong? It is frustrating to hear crap after some long hard work in recording. Finally, hearing someone else feel the same way. Thank you so much!

    • @LearnAudioEngineering
      @LearnAudioEngineering 5 років тому +1

      That works pretty well! It's usually done to get a crunchy amp sound for the mids, mixed with a clean DI signal for the bass.

    I don’t understand, every video I see is talking about how their volume is too low when they export, or the high frequencies aren’t coming through… I’m a simple guy, I just like to put on an acoustic instrumental and sing to it, and no matter how much I turn my high frequencies down everything is piercing, it doesn’t sound warm and smooth.

    I play bass in a cover band. The bass guitar has never been audible on mobile phones. Your have thought the professionals we've used for our demos and showreels over the years would have created mixes that would work on small speakers as so many people only listen this way.
