This tutorial will show you how to get a tight low end in your tracks. Everybody want an amazing sounding low-end in their tracks. But this can be quite difficult to achieve. This video will show you some essential tricks that will transform your low-end and give you that tight kick and bass in you tracks.
The low end of a track is often the most difficult part of a track to mix and get just right. This is the part of the mix with the most energy, so it's important that every element is sitting just right in relation to each other.
This video will show you a few tricks that you can use to tighten up the low end in situations where it would otherwise tend to sound sloppy or "loose". This typically happens when you have overlapping frequencies in the low-end spectrum.

Another way you can shorten the tail of the kick is increasing the out parameter in the 'precomputed effects' section in the sample tab, that way you don't have to load the kick to the channel rack, and shorten it's tail using the envelope settings in the envelope section.

Thank you so much for the tip. Could u please tell me whether the sub bass or the kick should be in mono? I've seen some people suggest that the kick and sub bass should be in mono, but later I was told that it will lose the energy if I simply make them mono, so do you have any suggestion on how to make them centered without taking out too much energy?

@FireWalkMusic 7 жыл бұрын

Both the sub bass and the kick should be in mono. You can layer your bass with othe bass sounds with more mid and high frequenzies and spread those out if you want a wider sounding bass. The ultra low frequenzies should always be in mono. :) Alternatively you can use a plugin to mono everything bellow say 90hz, and then spread out the rest if you're using just one bass. :)

@FireWalkMusic 7 жыл бұрын

I usually like to use stereo delay (separation) on various percussion elements to get them slightly out of time. That's great for making more room. Usually, everything will happen at the same time on a hat or on a kick or on a bass or whatnot, this way you'll be able to make them stand out more and be heard in the mix. For panning I usually like to automate it manually rather than using plugins. :)

@FireWalkMusic 7 жыл бұрын

I don't remember exactly which one it was. I'm at work right now but I can check when I get home. I think it was two marimbas actually, or one marimba and a hat perhaps.. I remember I couldn't find one that was like the original, so I had to try and make my own by layering and saturating it. :)

Great tips! Thank you so much Firewalk! I wanted to ask, do you think that a subwoofer is imperative for mixing? I can't afford one and it would also be too loud for my apartment. So I am doing a little bit of guessing with the super low end... any thoughts?

@FireWalkMusic 7 жыл бұрын

Hey Daniel. This is a great question that requires a long answer.. But I'll try to make it short. I'm going to make a video about this in the near future. The short answer is: Yes and no. I wouldn't recommend using a subwoofer while you work. It will amplify the low end by a lot. Most of us don't have 100.000 dollar studios, so the listening environment will be less than optimal, causing reflections and even more bass buildup. Working under those circumstances will almost certainly influence the way you mix in a negative way. You will make decisions based on false input. It's then easy to end up with a mix that has too little low end. What you SHOULD do with a subwoofer is to use it to check every now and then to make sure the low end is right, or check for conflicts in the low end area that your main monitors won't be able to reproduce. Just as you should check your mix with headphones and monitors as you go along, to make sure it sounds good on both, you should do the same with a subwoofer. Here's an example explaining why you would need a subwoofer: Let's say you make a mix that you're happy with. You bring it to your car to listen to it there, and it sounds terrible.. The bass is way too loud.. You go back to your room and it sounds fine there.. This is a typical scenario we all experience. Most average sized studio monitors will produce sounds from 50 - 20.000+ hz. This means that you won't actually be able to hear the low end bellow 50 hz. And there's plenty of energy in that 30-40 hz area. In order to reproduce these frequencies, you need big cones. Most people don't buy 10" studio monitors. So that's why a subwoofer comes in handy. If you listen to a mix in a car with a 12" subwoofer in such a confined space, even the tiniest amount of bass will become deafening. If you have a subwoofer, you can then use the it when making critical low end decisions that you wouldn't be able to hear otherwise. This will save you a lot of "reference time" as I call it. You won't have to spend so much time running around testing your mix on various systems in order to make it sound good. I could go on forever talking about this, but I hope this answered your question. A 8" or 10" subwoofer will usually be a good match for most 5 - 8" studio monitors. :)

@daniel-jerrehian 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for such an amazing response! I guess I will have to just send music to friends with subwoofers for reference when I am at the finishing stages or right before I get to the ultimate "car test." I like your strategy because I can definitely imagine mixing with a sub results in too little low end. Love your answers, they are always so helpful :)

@FireWalkMusic 5 жыл бұрын

Vocals are often recorded in mono and placed towards the center of a track. This is what enables you to extract or remove vocals from a track by using phase cancellation. That said, it's not a rule and some times a vocal can be spread out also. Especially background vocals, ad libs and such can be spread out.

@FireWalkMusic 5 жыл бұрын

When you layer too much it will start to distort and phase etc. Try to use stereo separation to make them wider. Also, use panning to spread similar sounds on the right and left speaker to avoid cancellation issues. A wider mix will almost always sound more epic and more "huge" in a way. To add fatness you can also try adding some saturation. Especially on the mid range. But don't use too much or you'll make it sound harsh instead.

@FireWalkMusic 6 жыл бұрын

Hey, this technique fattens up the low end by making sure that the tail of the kick does not interfere with the onset of the bass. If you have a long held bass note this won't work. You'll have to rely on sidechaining the bass or use EQ automation to reduce some of the low end of the kick to make sure there's room for everything in the low end.

hey bro how long can a bass and 808 can go... i use most time the root key eg if a root key was in E or F i use bass line or 808 in the same key in lower octave but the bass and 808 sits around 30 ~ 32 hz but cant listen those bass on speakers.. in headphones it was in a small amount of volume compared to a G bass Key which Nearly Sits on 40~42 hz can be heard in lots of speaker and headphones clearly and had an amazing thumping effect... what can i do if i write a song in the key of E or F and have the bass to be heard is there any way to do this or i have any hearing problems on those 30~35 hz frequency range... it was my major doubt when i start produce song...and my hearing also so good as a average person...want some clear view about using those E or F root key basslines or 808 basses... awaiting for a reply..

@FireWalkMusic 6 жыл бұрын

It depends on the mix and the genre. But keep in mind that low frequencies have more energy than higher frequencies at the same volume, even though we tend to perceive them as quieter. That's because our human ears are not very sensitive to low fequencies, so you need to take this into account when mixing. Also, keep in mind that most speakers can't reproduce frequencies bellow 50 hz. Usually, you'll end up with a very low going kick, and a rolled off sub, or a rolled off kick and a low sub. If you need it to go all the way down, I would roll it off gently so that it doesn't muddy up the mix as the speakers struggle to reproduce frequencies they can't really reproduce. Have you watched my how to EQ tutorial? There's some useful information about this stuff in there: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y7J2fpWpzLGxgYk.html

find some kick, clap or snare sample in FL studio, click on the sample setting, you will found it on the precomputed effects, it's called pogo effect. But you can also use pitch to tighten up your drum. I hope you can understand my explanation.

Yeah isn’t it easier to just edit the length and out setting on sampler?

Why did you turn off the 'bass' mixer track (at 2:57) while saying "it's a good idea to have the bass playing"? Does the bass still affect the kick like it would if the 'bass' mixer track were off? If so, why? Thanks, Dan

Sorry for the confusion. I had to shoot the video again due to some problems the first time, and it got a bit out of sync when reusing the audio. When I said it's a good idea to have the bass playing, that doesn't mean you should only do this with the bass playing, try it with and without and you'll find the sweet spot. :)

or you can just fade the kick sample itself. oh wait, this is FL. Everything requires much more extra steps LOL! im jk i love talking shit about FL. great video thou, i learned this a year or two ago and my low end sounds so much better because of it

I assume you're in Ableton? Actually, I much prefer Ableton myself when it comes to audio handling. It's just very streamlined when it comes to that sort of thing. But then again there are other things that's easier in FL and vice versa, so in the end it just boils down to which workflow you prefer overall. :) In Fl you can just turn the knob in the sampler as well to fade it, but I prefer to do it this way because it gives you more control of the curves. :) Some times I just throw a transient shaper on it too. It depends on the kick itself. I've even been known use LFOtool on some kicks as well, when I need that really fine control. Turn on the waveform display and you can see exactly where it needs to be faded out, which gives you much more control than using a compressor or a transient shaper. A little bit more work though. It just depends on how lazy you are :D

Do what I say, not what I do! ;) Seriously though, it's often difficult to show mixing techniques and such in a video without confusing the viewer. Often times it's impossible to even hear what's really going on, so you'll have to either exaggregate or adjust things in isolation to make it easier to hear what's going on, when in reality you would typically do it in the mix, with everything else playing. :)
