I’ve heard many producers due this, the cutting the super lows out of the master and I’m very hesitant to think this is a good idea. Eqing causes phase shift, so all that work u did setting the phase is almost meaningless if u are just gonna shift the phase of ur entire low end on the master. U could use linear phase but then u risk smearing ur transients due to preringing. I asked jade cicada about this in his discord a while back and he informed me he never eqs the lows out of things that he wants to have sub, the kick and basses containing sub. Anyways that’s just my reasoning and current understanding. If u have a different point of view, I’d love to hear it. Thanks for the videos and all that u do for the community:)

@@merrickk7949 interesting topic. I asked Infekt about this on Discord and he made a point basically saying that with electronic music, if ur sub is a clean synthesized sine wave (w/ maybe some extra harmonics), then there wouldn't even be any content underneath the fundamental to EQ out anyway, at least nothing audible. So yah it makes sense to me that there would be no need to low-cut the master at 30hz - as long as you're hiPassing out the sub of other elements and making sure nothing is in the sub range 'cept your kick and sub. And also yah, cause an EQing low-end can mess with phase, and might take power away from the sub. Of course go with whatever sounds/feels best to u

@@sharkadelic8799 yo thanks for the thoughtful reply! That’s exactly my reasoning also. Why try an fix a problem that’s not there. Like my low end I get right wayyy b4 mastering. Another idea I’ve heard in this topic is bouncing two versions of ur track. One for live use where ur sub is only one harmonic and one for streaming where u add other harmonics to the sub. The reasoning here is speakers can only go one way at a time. Out or in. so on a big system a pure sine wave would be cleanest cuz the speaker won’t have to do as much. I see the phase of sine waves like this.. when it’s at its height, it’s telling the speaker to push air out when it’s low, it’s sucking in. Adding harmonics is gonna make the speaker suck out and in more, producing a less clean sound then one pure sine would cuz a pure sine is only saying out and then back in. This is only on big systems tho, adding harmonics is something I fully agree with and do in all my tracks. Also should note, im lazy and don’t do this myself haha Just fun to think about

@@merrickk7949 3:55 alot of mastering engineers do it if your track is 100% perfectly mixed there wont be anything to cut if distortion is introduced through mastering cutting can be very helpful if youre worried about phase shifts then design the phases with it on if youre worried about linear preringing use a gentler q test on a subwoofer, i can say the lowcut generally makes subs hits harder in practice do what you want trust your ears

@@BuntingMusic thanks for getting back to me! I hadn’t thought of the eq idea, designing the sub and kick with it on, I’ll definitely give that a try. Yea in my mastering chain, I rarely apply noticeable distortion. I’ll process channels heavily all day but my grp processing and mastering chains I like to keep pretty simple. I’m gonna experiment with this low cut idea and see what method works for me.

👍👍🙏

your music is fucking rad!

Mr Bill is the man. Been watching his stuff since 2013. My music still sucks but I appreciate what he’s taught me

@@jasongravely7217 He's the goat and a super chill dude to hang out with

90% of the tyne u want it mono son

@@LeePuu keep telling yourself that if its what you need to sleep at night.

It's not stereo. The bass is made using layering techniques. The sub frequencies are always placed in mono, while the harmonics are added on top using stereo widening techniques. This makes it seem as if the bass is in stereo.

​​@@turbochargedfilmsNo bass should be in stereo. This is a common fact.

i usually like my sub response flat, and yes i scoop mids

@@BuntingMusic So are you stilll hitting 0 true peak on the sub? Just a tiny scoop? Seen the technique explained but never demonstrated in practice.

Wow. That's interesting. 🤔

thank you

Stereo sub bass is more for heaphones than anything. Most PA systems run sub bass in mono so if you have stereo sub bass in your mix, you have to make sure you dont have issues with stereo phase cancelation when the sub is run in mono. This is one of the reason why you should always check your mix in mono, it also one of the pitfalls of mixing on headphones. Due to the seperation of left and right on headphones, the soundwaves dont interact with each other in an open space and this can mask huge phase cancelation problems in the mix. This is why you should listen to your final mixes on a proper monitor system in a treated room before release.

Ha already has fam

@@yuhyuhtheindigo7085 oh shit i didnt even realize my bad

I'll add even on AUX run subs. I don't want that board giving any high end.

Dont let everyone know the secret! For real tho, stereo sub is where its at. Haters don't understand.
