In this video, I show you how I USE MY favorite Bass Mastering plugin, Bassroom, to help get my Low End just right. I always find Bassroom, when used responsibly, leads to better results.

Me learning mixing, finally things make much more sense:) I have to go over all of Zen videos. lots of ear training in the past 20 days omg. cant wait to re apply all these Thank you for always being the best.

[@zaiologyy]

.. I just love the way you explain things, thank you so much for making the Ableton world a interesting & incredible place 🥂💖

[@weirdcityboi]

Just here to tell you how much i appreciate and am learning from all your videos. thank you.

[@zenoaltea7512]

Amazing explanation once again and love this track man!

[@TONYSPEKTR-qk6ej]

This is definitely one of the best plugins for mixing and mastering

[@Tony_Clavel]

Lets goo bro! def going to try this

[@bostin3535]

Good vid zen, would love to see a tutorial on drum turnarounds

[@afterglow001]

Thanks Zen! 🙏😄

[@hansvos5897]

I have, use it, love it ! Good review, keep on creating and playing man..... and USE YOUR FEET !

[@5T45H]

I sware I tried this demo ofc didn't read the manual and didn't got much far couldn't really understand how it works 😅 but now with your guide will try it again things makes more sense now. I think the way it's layout vertically my mind is use to EQ horizontally 😮

[@edgarhernandez7722]

What a track 🔥

[@MikeSylvestre]

If you have Ozone, put 1 instance of Ozone and turn off anything that has to do with dynamics. Then insert Bassroom, after put a second instance of Ozone with only dynamics on

I’ve found Neumann NDH30 have made the biggest difference in my mixes. Getting rid of the room was a big step for me.

[@jdstarek]

100% agree. I bought both the MM500 and the NDH30. I loved them both. But I felt the NDH was more analytical. The MM500 were more enjoyable (and super cool), but made everything sound “good.” My first project after getting the new cans was far and away better than any of my previous projects using Yamaha HS7 and a “semi-treated” room. Good cans are the way to go.

Can you do a track breakdown on your latest song Hold On? Would love to see the techniques you used

[@nomaddigitalmusic]

Hi Papi. If you reference a already mastered track, where in the chain you put the plugin? Thanks

[@cekirdekci32]

Thanks!

[@Schallkoma_Rockenberg]

hey guys, is it a plugin for the masterchannel ? must i lower the volume of the reference track ? thx

[@iamtygar]

Do you think I should put bassroom on my kick & bass group? or just the bass channel alone? also im assuming last in the chain?

[@5T45H]

Hey Zen quick question. Have. You used the G-Sonique club PA soundsystem plugin? It emulates how your sound will sound in the club.

[@cottoo1]

Will you comment on music ai like suno or udio? Is there a point in developing mixing skills when those ai sites are out there and just going to be better.

[@wraiafeta]

you da man

[@WatchMyShorts303]

Best Plugin when it comes to "make" bass - always in chain

[@cekirdekci32]

" use your ears. if it sounds like poop than dont do it " LOL this songggg .FIREEEEEE

[@alechernandez5506]

Is this the answer to my mud. I can’t seem to get a good low end even with 100% side chain..

[@kurdonoid]

Check da kick

[@heinsterr]

did you get rid of the low end from literally EVERY single other sound besides the bass?

[@alechernandez5506]

@@heinsterr yes. If anyone can help me it would be appreciated :-) I cut my drums at 120hz. Maybe I need to increase the frequencies I cut the lows?

[@shriv3448]

@@alechernandez5506No need to cut your drums at 120hz. Selecting the right drum samples(kick not clashing with bass at fundamental. Having a short tight kick and not long and drawn out that it clashes with the sub), setting your levels right between kick and bass. Side chaining effectively, by setting the curve based on the kick drum which can be done by volume shaping using something like utility in ableton. To be fair one would need to hear the situation to give accurate advice but knowing the fundamentals and nailing them is necessary. Also btw mud usually occurs between 200-500hz, its more of a low mid lack of clarity issue. Anything below that is usually rumble or boominess, can usually occurs because of low frequencies clashing between each other. Which usually can be solved with the solution i described in the beginning. There is more that can be done though. Also make no mistake, modern music production especially edm is for the most part heavily processed in the mixing phase. Alot of modern day producer prefer to mix loud. Eqing, compressing, limiting and saturating individual elements that are meant to be upfront and creating depth with reverb, eq, delay and levels for background elements.

[@AirArtStudiosOfficial]

Definitely helps. But shit in equals you know what

[@krunge]

Where in the mastering would you add this, before or after the limiter?

[@ConnorTostevin1]

"Mastering the Mix" recommends putting it before the limiter, second to last in the master chain. So do your normal EQ moves, Saturation Comp if needed ect, then add "Bassroom" before limiting.

[@samuelbosman9572]

Hi zen any idea whether the key of a track makes any difference when selecting reference tracks? It makes sense that the low end of a track written in D can never sound the same as a track written in A. Does Bassroom take this into account or no?

[@ssmbl]

key of a track makes a difference and no, bassroom has no idea what the key of your reference track is. image the distance between the fundamental frequency of a kick in C and A, if you feed in a reference in A major but your track is C minor bassroom will tell you too decrease the actual punch and increase the boxiness of your low end

[@jesulona7651]

4:06 I love Martin Ikin’s tracks but I always find they don’t have enough sub for my taste. His mixes probably sounds better in clubs tho

[@ZenWorld]

AGREED

[@stelthtenau]

So put this last before limiting? Its always a little strange to me as the reference are masterd but your track hasn't hit a limter yet.. still im pretty sure i need this. Cheers papy

[@ozziereaker]

Let me wrap it this way hermano. I suck, my music suck, however my music suck much less and it’s way more controlled with baseroom. Conclusion ; I still suck.. and in my professional opinion it doesn’t help in rl sadfaze :o

[@stelthtenau]

@@ozziereaker for me its just like zen said. A little too much low and everything else sounds quite and muffled. Too little and the whole track sounds weak. Hitting the sweet spot with low frequencies is pretty tricky in a home studio generally. If you are aware you suck that means you will improve. Sucking and not realising it is the bad one

[@ozziereaker]

@@stelthtenau thanks broski I guess. Yeah I do suffer bass balance problem. It’s close to Impossible to get right acoustic in my studio. I do have few good sets of headphones tho. I’ve used to use hornet vhs plugin for sound correction. That was horrible experience for me I couldn’t get any instrument to sound close to right. Sound selection is a key, no plugins, kits, hardware or any other piece of .. thing. You may get away without knowing the music theory. It’s Like Zen and many pros say if it’s sound good, that’s good. But if your SS is like my music making skills, it will just won’t sound any good. GL on your journey!

[@stelthtenau]

@@ozziereaker yeah i have sound id reference but dont use it
