I learned, in audio engineering school, that mixing at a low volume will naturally cut down the frequency response of your monitors. It cuts the frequencies down to what less expensive sound systems would reproduce. If you mix in that condition your mix will be better suited for those environments.
Haha, that's a f*cking divine intervention, Graham! Just yesterday I bounced down a track I felt sounded pretty good, only to find out I can't hear the bass on my laptop/phone and I didn't know what to do with it.
Saw the title and immediately thought "500 hz is the key", but still watched because my muffled/unclicky drum tones don't fit phone speakers well and thought the tecnique used could potentially work on drums. I think the drum equivilent of the distorted tone would be to duplicate the drums, and hit the copy with a harsh limiter to still get the higher end saturation, yet still avoid making the tone clicky.
I've been doing this for forever by accident, just because I always over do distortion on one of my basses. Does this make me a genius, or a complete idiot? You decide! Personally I think this makes me outrageously ignorant haha
Thanks. Really good video. It helps. 🙏🏼 I'm a producer selling beats online and I can see through all my analytics, that teenagers are almost exclusively listening to my channel on phone! It's insane how things have changed! But I can only imagine teens listening to music on their iphone/speakers on camp! Crazy but I will not fight against it, only adapt myself!!
Graham, it is underestimated how much you have actually sought to serve others. I am aware that you're a believer in Jesus, and yet it has worked out really well for you, up till now. I'm glad for you. I spy that "Recording Revolution"'s goal is to give everyone the tools necessary to do music freely without having to feel crushed by the weight of money or labels. Some others may say that's their goal, but I think you really mean it. You are willing to be embarrassed, you are willing to not build yourself up so much as just provide actionable information, and your information is simple and solid. No "hacks or magic", just clear, solid help. Good for you. More than musical knowledge, you just make sense. I know God has blessed you - I will pray that He always keeps you and your family protected by His grace, especially in your success. Thanks, brother. And thanks for the actual help.
Adrian Delgado it makes it sound a bit fuller and more up-front in general, no matter what speaker you're listening on. Punk and Metal guys have been doing this for decades to help the bass cut through heavy mixes where every other instrument is already fighting to be the most present. Hip-hop guys do it with their 808 basses too. When done right it's barely noticeable in a full mix on full-range speakers. But when overdone it sounds like Nu Metal haha
Adrian Delgado THIS IS BAD ADVICE. I ride the bus all the time and everyone has either headphones or ear buds .I walk all over the city and I have yet to see someone holding an Iphone speaker to their head like it's 1959 and we all have little pocket transistor radios. This was a known myth started by a rather clever executive at Apple, David Banssard. You will see the odd teen listening on the speaker but it's damn rare and he/she is usually listening with someone else. ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO SCREW UP YOUR MIX BECAUSE MAYBE 50 FOOLS OUT THERE STILL THINK IT'S 1959?! I will leave it up to you....
*I ride the bus all the time and everyone has either headphones or ear buds .I walk all over the city and I have yet to see someone holding an Iphone speaker to their head like it's 1959 and we all have little pocket transistor radios.* It might be bad advice sometimes, but this is decidedly misleading, primarily because you are referring to the wrong environment. Sure, few people in crowded public spaces listen to music on their phone, but that's as meaningful as saying few drivers listen to music on earbuds. The reality is that, in more controlled environments, people listen to music on phone and computer speakers regularly. I've personally witnessed at least 100 of these occurrences in the last year alone. It also should be noted that this trick is meant to be utilized with more precision. You aren't necessarily taking a pristine mix and slapping the extra aux on top, you are balancing the two such that it creates no offensive residue on good speakers while also getting more presence on mid-range systems.
Most people don't bother to buy sennheiser headphones or fancy monitors. Most people will break their speakers and resort to their laptop speakers or apple headphones kind of crap.
Awesome video, I’m a SO3 user and had so many disappointing mixes dissolving my thick deep bass line into invisibility on phone and lap top speakers! This is the very video I’ve been looking for thank you much! 👍👍
I really am enjoying your videos and how you make easily digestible content in video format. Here are my thoughts on the topic, a lot of amateur mixers tend to muffle their bass tones when EQing because it gives them a greater sense of low frequency and sub energy... the original BASSDI track in this video felt exactly like so. When you introduced the Bass Dist channel, aside from the texture, the tone was much more well balanced. I think this video shows ONE way to resolve the issue of a bass not cutting through on Laptop/Phone speakers, but I also believe the issue can be avoided if the original signal is well balanced tonally from the beginning.
Perfect! This is what I was looking for. I am working on a hip-hop flavored arrangement of a Bach piece and the bass just wasn't cutting through on crappy speakers even though it sounds good in my studio. Thank you.
Good video, just one question, shouldn't you low cut the distorted signal? since it also has some low harmonics that add up to the original bass breaking the balance that you already had on the low end.
asanx Someone gets a Gold Star! He's kind of making a poor-man's MaxxBass from Waves. The problem is that he didn't target the fundamental directly...only approximates it. So...yea. MaxxBass would have been a nice plugin but not a real solution either. The next level would be Polyphonic DNA manipulation with Melodyne. That would be a rather advanced technique and expensive. What he shows is good enough for the average bedroom producer.
great material, i'm wondering how to plug hardware stuff (EQ's, Comp etc.) to work with DAW, maybe you show us how to do it in future?, thx for any tips, it's very motivated
If you have distorted guitars this creates a problem of the bass and the guitars becoming Indistinguishable.....Brendon O”Brien does a great job bringing the bass out on Eat The Rich...listen on a cell phone
Questions: Would this also be good practise for super low sine wave or 808 bass (below 80hz), or best used for mid range bass? Also is there any worry of Phasing occurring blending two identical bass channels or would the added Distortion color the wave enough to not be a concern? Thanks for the great vids! Keep it up!
You can use distortion/overdrive on anything, including kick and snare (even vocals) just to cut through the mix a little more. The basic idea is the same as in this video, adding upper harmonics.
Carey Roberts as long as the kick is isolated enough you can add a bit of narrow boost somewhere around 3k-4k to help it cut through. if there's too much bleed it can affect the other drums' sound, but adding a gate to the kick can sometimes eliminate this, depending on the material
You can do the same thing, but if it's rock music you often don't really need to hear the kick that much, it gets really annoying. Give it some sidechain/ducking so you can "feel" it in the space it carves out. If you apply a little to the guitars as well as bass then you'll definitely feel it on crappy speakers. Or just mix some highs in so it has a bit of "click". But again, this can sound annoying if you overdo it.
Graham, how do you use those buses outputs? Do you send the guitars to one bus, the keys to another, and etc... before they go to the mix buss? If you could talk about this would be very helpful. You are amazing. Greetings from Brazil!!!
Artur - yes - Graham and most of us use the buses in such a way. We send all of the drums to one bus and then send that bus to our submix bus for the final processing. Graham has talked about how to do it several times in other videos - search on his channel or blog.
You refer to parallel processing a lot, which seems really helpful (I haven't really used it yet). But, what about polarity/phasing issues? Is that ever something you come across when doing this?
DarrenCampbellmusic in this case to prevent distorting the low end just giving the upper harmonics more presence to push it through the mix on bad speakers
could you do a video on how to make the bass stand out on imported instrumentals? I'm an artist and I don't make beats so I don't always have the tracked it version of the beat
Dari Shesed I don't think the added harmonics from distortion on a sub bass track would reach the frequency that a phone speaker can actually play. I guess it depends on how much distortion you're adding, but you will never get sub bass from a phone haha, also you'll defenitely need to lowcut all the sub bass on your your distorted duplicate.
Dari Shesed Go ahead and ruin your mix for maybe 100 people at best who are too stupid to know better. This is a myth that millions of people are listening to music through Cell phone speakers. The myth was started by Apple executive, David Bassard, assistant to marketing manager East Coast. I ride the bus day and night and I have yet to see anyone with their heads pressed to their Iphone speaker. No one seriously sits down and listens through the speaker. People do it occasionally. You cannot mix for every system that's out there. They are thousands of world class mixes from the 70's and 80's that sound amazing but you could never hear the kick or bass through an IPhone speaker. Mixing for the lowest common denominator will FUCK UP your music.
I dunno, I only find it works if I'm making a bass before adding it into a sampler.. using the maxbass plug in really fucks with the volume of your bass if theirs a lot of range in the notation of it and it ends up making the higher notes in the bass track much louder. Distortion doesn't effect the dynamics of the track in the same way
Hey great idea! Thanks a lot for all your helpful videos. I've always found the tern "bus" confusing. What would be the difference if you just made a copy of the dry track? I am using logic now, and I'm using lots of Track stacks for my drums and backing vocals so i can process them together. Is that the same as a bus?
This was 6 years ago so maybe you found the answer but i feel inclined…. Making a copy of something manually would have the same effect as opening a new bus and blending it in that way. Either way you still skin the cat.
Question: can that extra mid-track for the bass start muddling with guitars of keyboards, or even some of the drums? In other word, would you then have to re-EQ some other elements to re-balance with that extra bass track? Loving the channel by the way, always passing the good word around to my musician friends! :)
Good point. My concern is that adding/altering something to account for crappy speakers changes the sound on not-crappy speakers. For some music it might be better to just decide some systems will not translate well. (Reference track comparisons would be key here.) Know your target audience.
True, it varies. I guess one could wonder if it is now a requirement of modern music production to systematically account for those small speakers, but it should be done without affecting sound negatively for other bigger / better speakers. On the other side it can make the bass sound better on better speakers too if it gives it a bit of extra presence. Just an extra workload to keep with our times that can end up improving the overall quality of the production when done right. Always happy to get those cool and useful tips from Graham, and great songs by the way James!
This is an issue thats been bugging me for a while, this is very similar to the solution i came up with. It's just anoying when someone listens on crappy speakers.
traditionally the EQ of a kick drum allows more high end than that of a bass guitar.. so you can hear that clicky attack from the batter striking the drum head, which can be reproduced by shitty speakers.. so I dont think it would be necessary to use this trick for a bass drum. However.. probably this wouldn't apply for things like jazz kick drums, which are meant to sound with almost no attack and much more tonal.
I learned, in audio engineering school, that mixing at a low volume will naturally cut down the frequency response of your monitors. It cuts the frequencies down to what less expensive sound systems would reproduce. If you mix in that condition your mix will be better suited for those environments.
"and the truth is you can't" would be so funny if the video just ended there :D
that would be epic :)
Jejeje - Agreed!
LMFAO!!!!! Right.
thought the same haha
Lmao... "And the truth is you can't.. dumbass" (the end) hahaha I'm literally laughing out loud
80 or 90 % of listening is done with crappy headphones, it's good to take that into account
I wish people even bothered to use headphones honestly
I had shit headphones, you know what happened? My percs overpowered it
This is key honestly, but in the same way you have to imagine "okay if everyone has shit speakers, what about everyone who has amazing speakers"
2:25 is what you're looking for
You are a legend my friend
Thanks!!
You the real MVP, Fam.
Haha, that's a f*cking divine intervention, Graham! Just yesterday I bounced down a track I felt sounded pretty good, only to find out I can't hear the bass on my laptop/phone and I didn't know what to do with it.
This is litterally the only channel that's worth sticking around all the time lol everything else is so basic
bass and Kick drum. it's the most difficult thing to mix in a song. (for me off course)
Man I’ve been watching your videos for yearssss but I took a break and it’s so awesome to come back and see you’re at it still. Love your persistence
Love the 80's vibe of this song
Another generous gift from Graham. Thanks so much, again.
Saw the title and immediately thought "500 hz is the key", but still watched because my muffled/unclicky drum tones don't fit phone speakers well and thought the tecnique used could potentially work on drums. I think the drum equivilent of the distorted tone would be to duplicate the drums, and hit the copy with a harsh limiter to still get the higher end saturation, yet still avoid making the tone clicky.
Clear and no nonsense video. Appreciate that. Thank you 🙏
I've been doing this for forever by accident, just because I always over do distortion on one of my basses. Does this make me a genius, or a complete idiot? You decide!
Personally I think this makes me outrageously ignorant haha
Joel Griffin nah it makes you a good producer bro and means you was born for it ygm
It's not the same thing, overdistorting 1 track won't give the same effect has distorting only the mid/high frequency of a second copied track
Thanks. Really good video. It helps. 🙏🏼

Excellent. Great explanation and efficacy getting to point.... following
Youre killing me with that bus analogy bro ... thanks for the tips
DUDE that's genius!!! Would that work on a low tuned snare?
How does the added bass sound on good speakers?
Doesn't that change the overall sound?
Adrian Delgado I would have thought so too but I'm not 100% sure
Adrian Delgado it makes it sound a bit fuller and more up-front in general, no matter what speaker you're listening on.

Awesome video, I’m a SO3 user and had so many disappointing mixes dissolving my thick deep bass line into invisibility on phone and lap top speakers! This is the very video I’ve been looking for thank you much! 👍👍
Adding a HPF and taking out the lowest 100+ HZ (seriously) will also help make the bass track pop more.
My phone speaker is about 300hz on the low end.Nothing else will be audible below that.Just a tip for others.
What kinda phone you have? Mine goes down to a little below 80hz...
What is the benefit or purpose of using a send or bus, rather than just copy and pasting the bass to a new track?
I was seriously just thinking about this. Thank You!
You did it again! Great video man!
I really am enjoying your videos and how you make easily digestible content in video format.

Whats the name of that song?
You answered my question. I appreciate it.
AWESOME VIDEO GRAHAM, LIKE ALWAYS OFF COURSE !!!
Dude your kick drum sound is on point
Perfect! This is what I was looking for. I am working on a hip-hop flavored arrangement of a Bach piece and the bass just wasn't cutting through on crappy speakers even though it sounds good in my studio. Thank you.
Cheers recording revolution, For all of your tricks.
lol this is the first tutorial where i’ve liked the sample song good tut
Abletunes Drive knob is great for this.
please tell me the song name it sounds so good!!
I just found this channel and I have high hopes. I write good music but I really need help with mixing and mastering.
Great tip. Thank you very much
The kush ubk plugin saturation cuts pretty solid on the mix
Great info brother.
Good video, just one question, shouldn't you low cut the distorted signal? since it also has some low harmonics that add up to the original bass breaking the balance that you already had on the low end.
Agree, I believe doing that would avoid any phasing problems in the low area
well depending of the plugin you add, it creates delays and stuff. It was more of a question than an affirmation to be honest. Never tried it...
At 4:18 he said they took out the low end!
asanx Someone gets a Gold Star! He's kind of making a poor-man's MaxxBass from Waves. The problem is that he didn't target the fundamental directly...only approximates it. So...yea.

Is that a dig at "bedroom producers"?
great material, i'm wondering how to plug hardware stuff (EQ's, Comp etc.) to work with DAW, maybe you show us how to do it in future?, thx for any tips, it's very motivated
Watching this video on my phone to fact check 😎
Amazing as always! Thank you so much!

yup !

Also is there any worry of Phasing occurring blending two identical bass channels or would the added Distortion color the wave enough to not be a concern? Thanks for the great vids! Keep it up!
Dope hack!
I was kinda disappointed you didn't play the bass with the saturated bus in the context of the mix to show how this works
How do you fix the same problem with kick drum?
You can use distortion/overdrive on anything, including kick and snare (even vocals) just to cut through the mix a little more. The basic idea is the same as in this video, adding upper harmonics.
Are you tracking the beater(s)?
Carey Roberts as long as the kick is isolated enough you can add a bit of narrow boost somewhere around 3k-4k to help it cut through. if there's too much bleed it can affect the other drums' sound, but adding a gate to the kick can sometimes eliminate this, depending on the material

Or just mix some highs in so it has a bit of "click". But again, this can sound annoying if you overdo it.
@@angledcoathanger love the 'click' sound. Even more in melodic kick lines.
thank you very much master!
This is very helpful!🔥
Great timing, and Great info!
Couldn't this just be EQd in through cutting out the extreme low end, through a high pass?
GREAT video, thanks!
just what i need. thanks alot
wow seems working for me. I wanted to ask how to learn to play bass. It seem easy to most but I think I am missing something.
Helpful! Now I have to finally learn how to do sends on Cubase. 😆
Thank You! Your tips are very helpful!
Thanks man!
Thank you, I will try it out! :)
Thank you so much for this!

good stuff Graham
Thanks so much Graham! Helped alot :)
Pretty good song too
Thank you!!😁
Hey that helps a lot
This song is hot bro...fire where can i find it?
You refer to parallel processing a lot, which seems really helpful (I haven't really used it yet). But, what about polarity/phasing issues? Is that ever something you come across when doing this?
On my AirPods Pro, I couldn’t hear the bass at all at the beginning, before you fixed it.
This is great!
Bro so helpful!
You sound like musictechhelpguy 😃 great video
thank you!
Hey Graham why do we bus the effect rather than just add it to the bass track?
Thanks alot :)
DarrenCampbellmusic in this case to prevent distorting the low end just giving the upper harmonics more presence to push it through the mix on bad speakers

great tip.....but is the same as parralel compression??
Will Beringer thanks a lot
HAIL GRAHAM.
ALL HAIL HIM.
KING GRAHAM.
Hey friend, Graham here. 🙂
Video starts,
I start saying "Hey friend" and it's in complete Unison with Graham... haha. Do we know this guy or what?
Use Waves MaxBass or Waves Rbass (
I dunno, I only find it works if I'm making a bass before adding it into a sampler.. using the maxbass plug in really fucks with the volume of your bass if theirs a lot of range in the notation of it and it ends up making the higher notes in the bass track much louder. Distortion doesn't effect the dynamics of the track in the same way
Hey great idea! Thanks a lot for all your helpful videos. I've always found the tern "bus" confusing. What would be the difference if you just made a copy of the dry track? I am using logic now, and I'm using lots of Track stacks for my drums and backing vocals so i can process them together. Is that the same as a bus?
This was 6 years ago so maybe you found the answer but i feel inclined…. Making a copy of something manually would have the same effect as opening a new bus and blending it in that way. Either way you still skin the cat.
How about using SansAmp for vocal instead of mic preamp?
Question: can that extra mid-track for the bass start muddling with guitars of keyboards, or even some of the drums? In other word, would you then have to re-EQ some other elements to re-balance with that extra bass track? Loving the channel by the way, always passing the good word around to my musician friends! :)
Also, any phasing taking place between those two bass tracks? Sorry, a lot of questions...
Good point. My concern is that adding/altering something to account for crappy speakers changes the sound on not-crappy speakers. For some music it might be better to just decide some systems will not translate well. (Reference track comparisons would be key here.) Know your target audience.

Always happy to get those cool and useful tips from Graham, and great songs by the way James!
Oh, thank you!
I think we can mix with this tip in mind. I've tried this before with Kick and Snare on a drum crush bus and it has worked great!
Is this possible in cakewalk?
Even though he has some good tips and advice, I wouldn't waste too much of your time on this guy. Just use your ears.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're basically doing what an exciter would do, aren't you?
This is an issue thats been bugging me for a while, this is very similar to the solution i came up with. It's just anoying when someone listens on crappy speakers.
thx
I'm watching this on a cell phone, lol..ps. I always saturate bass, but using amps/console/tape so it 'pumps' more in the mix
how do you do this on studio one?
Edward Pierre Gomez ok thank you
Maxxbass and rbass help tons
Won’t this just make the bass overwhelming on better speakers/headphones?
2:29 Could you not also just duplicate the track? Or is there another reason for making a send?
I guess it's in case there are further over dubs afterwards
what frequency?
Only if I knew how to do this on fl 😔
How to do it on Cubase?
Same applies on a kick drum?
traditionally the EQ of a kick drum allows more high end than that of a bass guitar.. so you can hear that clicky attack from the batter striking the drum head, which can be reproduced by shitty speakers.. so I dont think it would be necessary to use this trick for a bass drum.
However.. probably this wouldn't apply for things like jazz kick drums, which are meant to sound with almost no attack and much more tonal.
