the answer is harmonics. whether you're recording or mixing :D
Also, when a speaker specs 80Hz as the lowest frequency it doesnt mean that 79Hz is not audible. The response of the speaker just falls gradually. 80Hz is the -3dB point. Or at least, thats what most companies do.
Exactamondo! This comment should be highlighted.
Good point 👍🏼
Yes, that measurement is standard, but 41 could still be inaudible depending on slope and just size of woofer and box. Joe even says he couldn't hear the 41hz sine wave on the small speakers.
Roll off frequency. I heard the low frequency on my apple ear buds
Once again Joe takes a “mildly interesting” topic and makes it relevant. I have the Eris 3.5s plus their 8 inch sub. I’ve always wished there was an easy way to just cut the sub, but I don’t believe there is. Joe just showed me how to do that with the EQ.
As always, great content. Straight to the point and practical.👍🏻
Fun fact: neither an orchestral double bass or a cello are large enough to resonate at their lowest notes. Your brain recognizes the harmonic series generated and "hears" the fundamental frequency.
That’s WILD
I can hear it on my phone and feel the vibration of the wave through my iPhone on loud. Very cool
I have a couple pairs of monitors included HS50's, I SH@T You not... I get the best mixes out of the Iris 3.5..Most amazing sound in my opinion, should be worth more!
Can use a cheap Mackie CR-X 4-Inch to play bass :/ should I just need to check the frequency?
Great video Joe! I'm learning everytime you create. You really need to add "Audio Wizard" to your resume as well!
I love my little E3.5s. I have them set up behind me as rear reference monitors, and they're never leaving my studio. Mainly because my girlfriend who passed bought them for me, but also because they're great speakers
It’s also called timbre of the sound.
Physics 101
Amazing video, exactly what I needed to finish up a mix.
Do we need sub bass in every mix?
Hey Joe, whenever I master with Logic’s adaptive limiter with a ceiling of -1 output, I still get distortion artifacts in my song whenever referencing my iPhone’s speakers turned all the way up. This isn’t a problem though if my mastered song doesn’t contain too much reverb. This is very much a problem if my song contains tones of reverb. What’s going on here?
a. It could be that ALL music distorts when you crank it on the iPhone
b. It could be that your mix has too much low end and low mids, and that's causing the distortion.
@@HomeStudioCorner thanks Joe, I’ll try these ideas out!!
I have those exact monitors
Hey It will be awesome if you could answer this question also: how come my little in-ear headphones have a frequency response reaching to 10 hz and my 7 inch monitors reach only down to 40hz, although they are massively bigger physically, what’s going on?? Thanks 🙏
Think: volume. In-ears have to produce a tiny amount of volume. Barely any actual volume. It’s so close to your eardrum that it’s barely a whisper, but it seems loud. A 7-inch monitor has to reproduce that volume but 1,000 times as loud.
That’s my guess anyway.
Big picture: who cares, everything below 40 Hz is unusable in music and unbearable on most systems. 😊
Oh Okay thanks yes that’s actually a big difference in the volume
When I do hip-hop etc I add distortion on the bass or some kicks that are close to a sine wave tone. That extra buzz helps on small phones 🔊 or devices.
Wow! Harmonics, eh? Go figure. Try Joe. I believe😎
This topic is so relevant as a 2015 Digital Music News article presented the results of a survey that illustrated that more than half the surveyed listened to music on devices not particularly designed for the task, such as "computer speakers" (I hope we're not referring to the little scratchy built-in laptop jobbies!), "headphones on portable devices", "standalone radio" and "TV speakers (built in). Eee-gad! How could we mix for THOSE and still be tolerable on decent systems?!
It's not only "overtones" as you say. A fundamental 41 hz still has a high rolloff of other frequencies. It's those frequencies which you are hearing. You would mention to the person it's those other frequencies that the Eris monitor is able to pick up, that is being heard.
Good bass talk and great QandA vid Joe! (Your Music link is broke (Safari))
Great subject, great explanation. Thanks Joe
Wow you're the only one talking on this topic. Thanks a lot man!
that was actually quite interesting and helpful. thank you 🙏
Very well explained video! I'm mixing my band's songs wirh eris e 3.5 with untreated room. It will help a lot!
Thank you!! Will definitely try the eq hack on my next mix. I have been mixing using headphones only and one of the issues that I usually encounter is that I mix with too much bass and even losing the tone. Im having a hard time finding the balance and making the bass tones pop out of the mix.
I hear the pure 41Hz loud and clean in my head phones.
as DIY music guy that's a great question ! thanks !
thanks joe this was great can you do a tutorial cover on that mix you played last on this video love that sound
Great question and Great answer! Thanks Joe!
Great video! Thanks, Joe!
what is the song at 4:26
please tell me.
P.S. On re-watching this video I was struck that you have my bass...the Ibanez Gio Mikro (short scale) bass! Ha ha! Love mine! Sounds pretty good for a short scale and my shoulder stopped bothering me for longer performances! :-)
It’s so LITTLE and cute!
This is helpful. Thanks a lot Joe!
Nice info thank you!!!!
Nice! Thank you, Joe.
Makasih joe....
Great explanation Joe!
Great info, thanks
Great explanation
Very clever joe!
excellent info session!
really fun joe
Thanks Joe. Just one more little thing to keep in mind, eh? I wonder how this would apply to the earbuds that so many use for listening to their music....
Same concept.
Very good
Hi Joe, I have those same Presonus speakers, but also a sub. What's the best set-up so I don't have too much or too little bass in my mixes. Should I even be using a sub? Thanks!
P.S., I'm pretty new to mixing, sorry if this is has an obvious answer.
I’ve never used a sub, sorry.
@@HomeStudioCorner well that in itself says something! Thanks!
I've had issues trying to mix my church worship for our majority online listeners: people on phones... should this technique work well for my kick and bass on phone speakers as well?
For bass, absolutely, yes. For kick, I'd recommend adding more beater "click" (2.5k-5kHz) so the attack comes through on their phone speakers, even if the resonance and bottom end won't. This will work even if you don't have a separate console for the live mix in the room, because you'll be able to reduce your low-end output a little and keep the sound cleaner in the room.
@@JohnPaulHare Thank you! We have a separate console with Reaper for online plug ins so we have several options.
