      Hi, just found Ur channel and the content U've got there is very informative and helpful! 🤍❤🖤 I just started composing with the start of this year and I'm trying to find my genre, is there any possibility of sending U some tracks so U could say what's done properly and what's not? If it's not a problem I'd be very pleased if U told me afterwards what of Ur other videos should I watch to fill the gaps in my knowledge 🙏

      If you're just using a sine wave without any harmonical enhancement, then there is not much need for a eq. Using an analyzer one can tell which area of the frequency spectrum the sub occupy. It should be 150 Hz and below.

    Your videos are just great. So much to learn and it really helped me to make better music ... well at least imo. I was just wondering which serum preset you are using. I've seen that it is called "RPS PAPER BASS 2" but couldn't find it anywhere. Could you pls. give me a hint?
