How I Process / Mix House Bass

[@Bthelick]

I forgot to mention if you have a stereo bass that collapses badly to mono, remaking into stereo with any of these methods still doesn't improve the mono, instead you can use a utility plugin to playback only the left or right side as the middle instead of the mono sum , that is a usually a big improvement, and then you can re-stereo it I also totally forgot Steve Duda (Xfer) made a free dimension expander plugin, I had already figured it out by that point and have just been in the habit of using a delay to do it. You can just go grab that instead. At least you know how it works now though!

[@EspiriG]

@@Bthelick I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. the sub track, in this case.. in wich frecuency do you cut? Between 41Hz and 82Hz with LOW Pass filter? Or on the same Frecuency that you cut on the track of the Bass (62Hz)?

[@ampersand64]

4:26 one thing to note about the phase shift comment... you're using a 24db per octave slope on your highpass! This creates two points of 180° phase shift! One of those points occurs ABOVE the cutoff, so that filter is actually rearranging the phase quite a bit! Not that it matters. The phase relationship of a bass sound is not as predictable as "phase shift bad". Phase shift is bad, but ONLY if the phase has been carefully tuned to maximize headroom previously. Phase shift is also bad if you saturate your bass before you use the filter. It's simple enough to find a good phase relationship between your bass fundamental and its overtones. Just buss the synths, just tweak the phase of the sub, while inspecting the waveform through an oscilloscope, until the peaks are minimized. The reason it's a good idea to separate sub-bass instruments SPECIFICALLY is because when the notes combine, they can cause really long cancellations. Its the same phenomenon as dissonant notes creating "beating", except low frequencies' beating sounds way more noticeable.

[@Bthelick]

Regarding panning, I just don't tbh. It's a personal choice but for anything essential to the groove I don't pan for the reason that I don't want people on one side of the club getting a different thing to those on the other. If I have lots of backing vocal layers I usually pan those across the spectrum. For the rest I usually just let stereo things be stereo and that's where the track gets its width from. As for where stuff "belongs" , that's up to you, Do what feels good to you! There's no rules in art (although most might tell you to keep the kick and bass down the middle haha)

[@San7hos]

I was going through this one more time and I can't stress enough how well the content is structured and how you build up from the bass fundamentals (literally) to the stereo field. There are subtle and simple notes (e.g. chorus is practically a delay or distortion energy distribution) that add up to the huge difference in comparison to other similar content out there. Again, happy new year! I am personally looking forward to your future recordings.

[@ampersand64]

20:02 quick correction. Sample rate reduction doesn't cause any ringing! When you just reduce the sample rate to introduce aliasing (which is those higher, metallic tones), it doesn't have any effect on the timing or length of the tones. It simply shifts the higher frequencies (already present in the signal) around the spectrum, similarly to frequency shifters. Still a good tip to use the transient shaper & gate on the aliased harmonics. It sounds unnatural for these high frequencies to sustain so long, because in nature, high frequencies decay faster. So this technique reintroduces some natural sound.

[@ampersand64]

19:07 to clarify: distortion ITSELF does not destroy phase relationships. When the plugins have their own mix knob, they just blend in the regular dry signal. However, if a plugin has OVERSAMPLING, then that's what destroys phase relationships. The plugins blend the parallel signal before the downsampling step, which is the part that causes phase shift. If your distortion plugin avoids oversampling, it will be OK to use for parallel distortion. It will produce exactly zero unintended consequences. Most plugins let you have your cake and eat it too, though. Mix knobs that work with oversampling are fairly common in well-built plugins. Interesting, distortion itself actually changes no existing phase relationships. It adds new harmonics, whose phase relationships are perfectly tuned to decrease peak levels. Distortion is the best louder-maker tool available, even in parallel!

[@Bthelick]

Yes. But even with no oversampling many processors use eqs / crossovers and other tools pre/post to shape the distortion behavior, and not always in a clean pre/post emphasis relationship. For those new to this I just find it easier to tell them to steer clear unless the drive itself has a mix parameter (although I've heard of few of those get it wrong too) because they won't have the ears to spot the comb filtering. Thanks for the clarifications though 👊

A little bit of compression can help too. But I agree that soundesign + tone shaping using effects, stereo effects are the more important part of anything music related actually

[@Bthelick]

Sure, for a live bass guitar player, but what is there to compress in edm? Most bases produced by a synth don't have any dynamics to compress at all. I haven't needed to compress a bass (or drums) for over half a decade now. I find most who think the compression is helping are usually just getting fooled by the fact it's simply been made louder by the make up gain.

Hey B. Might be a noobie question, but what constitutes a bass going too wide? Let's say my bass (not my sub - would never touch that) has been widened by ping-pong delay, chorus, and stereo touch (Voxengo). If my bass sounds much better/more interesting and wider in stereo than in mono (there is a significant difference), but I have made sure there is no phasing (sound doesn't fall apart or get quieter when I switch to mono - and just barely dips below zero on goniometer correlation metre), does that mean that I have upset the stereo-mono balance and should reduce width? Or, would you say that if there are no phasing issues and if the correlation meter never dips below zero, then the sound shouldn't sound too different in mono vs stereo to begin with? Thanks! - Sam

Voxengo sound delay is really good for stereo manipulation. I have been using it for many many years to add a we bit of stereo offset to higher frequencies. It can require more filtering to keep Bass clean but i find it works well instead of stereo touch many times.

[@Bthelick]

Are you saying you add it back to the dry signal? Because Sound delay just delays the signal in time. Stereo touch is just a delay too, but added back to signal and phase inverted per ear. So sound delay does exactly the same thing , minus the wet dry mix, phase and filler options.

[@ahdziz666]

@@Bthelick I just enjoy the "hands on" options of sound delay. It's a handy tool for many things and does one thing very accurately.

Hey B! Regarding stereo imaging of bass, I have a (probably) noobie question. Let's say you have a bass top layer that is pretty wide and sounds great in stereo, but sounds weak in mono. However, upon checking for phase issues, you find there there are none at all. What would be your solution in a situation like this? A) Use a mid-EQ to boost centre frequencies (this makes it a little muddier!) B) Use an imager to simply reduce stereo (but this will come at the cost of making it sound less nice when playing in stereo) C) Its a top layer bass (with barely any frequencies below 100Hz) - there are definitely no phase issues! If there are no phase issues, then it shouldn't sound "weaker" in mono - you're overthinking! Little MCQ for ya! Many thanks from Canada 🍻

[@Bthelick]

Hmmm, well first, how are you checking for phase issues?

[@samuelhamilton5245]

@@Bthelick The bass in question is a Serum bass roll/pluck with a soft HPF (Ableton EQ8) at 147Hz (so not too many low and likely phase-cancelling frequencies). It is a pretty wide sound, generally speaking. What I did to check for phase issues is solo only the bass roll + my sub, pan one all the way to the left, and pan the other all the way to the right, then observe SPAN's correlometer. It hovers at around negative 0.20 to positive 0.10 when I do this. This indicates no phase issues right? My method could be wrong - you know best! I also repeated this for my kicks, toms, and any other instruments that produce low frequencies (and compared them to my bass rolls). Same results - more or less hover around 0 in the correlometer. The only thing I can think of that may be causing phase issues is the Serum sound (bass roll) itself, since I have a lot of delay and reverb on this sound. But I can't pan/solo Serum's reverb effect or delay effect to test it this way. Here, I rely on keeping the bass roll as is (no panning), and observing SPAN's correlometer - it hovers at around 0.50 to 1.00. Is this indicative of phase issues? In your opinion, what is the best way to look for phase issues? Am I doing it wrong? Thanks again!

I’ve been loving watching your videos. Your commentary makes them so valuable! Super impressive how you clearly explain what and why you’re doing things. To clarify your comment about distortions and phase, I’m guessing you’re only talking about distortions that apply some type of eq/filtering under the hood? Simple distortion processes like soft/hard clipping or any sort of waveshaping shouldn’t affect phase whatsoever, yes? Distortions that don’t apply colouring via filtering should be A-ok to mix in parallel, I believe.

Amazing tutorial. Great stuff here.

[@young_neal5947]

I would like to add one interesting detail. Before you can navigate the pink noise on the spectrum analyzer, it must be properly configured. The analyzers have a Slope parameter that allows you to rotate the spectrum. And it must be adjusted so that pink noise shows a flat horizontal line. This is due to the fact that in pink noise all frequencies with the same time fall into our "zone of attention". And by adjusting the analyzer in such a way that the noise is horizontal, we make the analyzer work as our "zone of attention". What will be the correct display of the operation of frequencies. That is, we will see them as they are read by our perception. Meld's analyzer works like this by default, by the way. After such manipulations, you can already turn the noise itself, balancing between high and low frequencies to our taste using the Tilt filter in any good equalizer, be it Pro Q or Kirchoff. And as always. Great video!

[@Bthelick]

Thank you! I thought white noise was supposed to measure flat? I have the slope on my Span set to 0 for that. Well that and to be it always looked more like what I was hearing.

[@young_neal5947]

@@Bthelick It's quite interesting that you use white noise. For my taste, it sounds quite aggressive in the upper frequencies. And pink is very close to all sounds in nature. It is enough to go outside in this wonderful summer and listen to how the leaves rustle with the wind, and you will find that everything is suitable for pink noise. In general, this gives a more matte sound. But in your case, a very good technique would be to raise the upper frequencies on pink noise, which will sound the most pleasant.

[@Bthelick]

@@young_neal5947 I agree, that's why I used it, pink is much closer to a natural distribution. I meant using white noise to calibrate a meter only. Because that resulting slope on sound is how I perceive it irl , in a good room with flat calibrated subs I perceive more bass at equal level naturally, probably because bass vibrates the body too.

that STFU is also free, worth mentioning if you didnt, i did not hear you say it, if you did my apologies. this should sound a bit better than just using sidechain shouldnt it?

[@Bthelick]

Thanks for pointing it out yes I try to mention they are free as that's a big part of the channel most of what I use is. (See waves video rant haha) It can sound 'better' in some scenarios depending on context. Because it is not a real side chain it has a different groove. if the kick uses a different rhythm then this won't follow so that can be bad. In a mix context it gives a little more control especially when treating sub elements. I still use both options as sometimes you want things to react to the kick and kick changes and sometimes you just want a consistent pumping effect.

[@JeremySilesi]

who are you and where did you come from? your knowledge is astonishing. this will for sure be one of my favs music production channels. question: did you program the bpb saturator plugin to automatically reduce the output or does the plugin do it by itself? if you did it, how?

Thankyou. Yes I used the rack system in Ableton to assign both parameters to 1 macro knob (with opposite value ranges) You can do similar in logic, reaper, and FL studio too as far as I'm aware.

[@EmilWoxenAndersen]

Maybe you could boost the music a bit in the "listening" section, so i wont have to turn up the volume to listen, and then get my ears blasted by your crispy delicious voice

[@Bthelick]

Sorry yeah it's always a tough balance. I have it set so It does boost when I stop talking but it can't adjust for subtle sounds. If you're talking about those sub only sections that's a sign your listening environment might need some improvement, the levels to my ears are mostly equal.

[@iambadd]

On your ducking examples via STFU plugin (at around 5:55) you would have static ducking on all bass notes, even the ones that play when the kick doesn't. Would it be better to trigger it via a sidechain or does consistency help in a way?

[@Bthelick]

Good question. To be clear they only duck on kick drums , no other notes. Unless you mean that they remain when the kick is pulled out for turnarounds and breaks etc? Because generally I remove the sub when there is no kick drum as the purpose is to lift the bottom of the track there anyway usually. A real side chain on a compressor is a valid option. I just find this is easier to show newcomers this method and is generally 'tidier'. Compressors need a lot of tuning and are a bit less accurate as the release time can never truly follow the kick shape without intermodulation distortion. Especially in the sub range. There are benefits like they don't need to be automated and can even change in response to kick effects like high pass filters. Sometimes the break from the pumping when the kick stops (in turnarounds for example) is welcome and sometimes it's not it's just a groove thing.

[@jibberism9910]

I like the approach... Laying out conceptual groundwork can be done just fine in the simplest of manners, then work out the technical details when people understand what the hell is even going on :D This is lost on many well-intentioned mentors. I've been fiddling with FL on and off, and being a wise-ass (ironically speaking anyway) I never gave much thought to the concept of actually trying to learn something.

[@joedoogan1874]

Really great video! The example bass/sub bass you use in the first section stays on the same note throughout, meaning the range of frequencies where the "split" occurs is static - what would you do with a bassline that changes notes, thereby moving that range? is there a way to keytrack your EQs accordingly? Thanks!

[@Bthelick]

There are some eqs which attempt to follow pitch , like some in izotope plugins, but I haven't found any reliable enough. If the jumps are large enough to warrant it I will automate the cutoff. It's not usually necessary though as the kick is not changing in pitch So the side chain length below that static threshold is fine.
