Here is one of the biggest low end secrets out there. I've seen sessions from Mutt and Max and this is the kind of work and detail these guys put in to make their tracks sound incredible.

You can do it much faster and more indepth in melodyne. Let me explain it. This is very unique and I don't know anybody showed this here in youtube: Step 1: Record your vst in melodyne. With ara support it is done automatically in cubase 11 and melodyne 5. The computing of a 4 minute bass track takes only some seconds. Step 2: Grab each note (you can even select all the C' or G''' notes at once) and adjust the volume on the note itself. Step 3: Adjust the harmonics of the notes. E. G. Only lower the basic tone, just lower overtones. So the sound does't changes but the resonant frequency is tamed. Keep in mind you only change the overtone of the spectrum in contrast to an EQ which changes the frequency of every tone, because it is static. And you can use the upward or downward compression function to lower all loud notes or boost all lower notes in relation to the average loudness of the track. You can do it for only a group of notes or for all notes. No other plugin can do it. But there is more!! You want more or less character of the recorded bass guitar? Tell melodyne to emphesize the tonal differences of the notes or - the contrary - let all notes more sound the same in character. Isn't this ingenious?! @Bobby Huff - give it a try and let me know;-)

This'll be a cool mix idea with the fundamental of a regular bass Precision in a rock context imo. I've noticed the bottom end drop out when the bassist moves from a A to a D (etc) and often have compensated by having them do the lower octave D in a drop tuning. I'm gonna try to emphasize the fundamental in the way you've demonstrated. Great technique!

Thank you Bobby. Inexperienced engineering question - I think I understand what you're after conceptually but I'm having trouble understanding the technique. Specifically, what I think I see you doing is boosting the freq around where each note is already pronounced. IE: the IV has a bump at 52, and so you bump 52 up (even farther)! Given my naivety, my intuition tells me you're actually exacerbating the freq differences. I do see that you lower the volume but I don't see how you're actually "matching" the low end across the 4 notes. Naively, I would have expected that on the IV, you would have boosted the freq that the "1" emphasized, and then lower the volume - thereby, attempting to make the freq shapes of both notes more similar. I'm clearly wrong on this since it's been 3 years since this post and nobody else mentioned this so I'm curious if you see this if you could clarify for me.

Hey Bob...so I just mixed/mastered a track for a client on which he used an 808 bass with a running 16th note bassline all the way thru the song. There's no way I could've split each note, so what's the trick to stabilizing the low end in a situation like that? I wound up having to squash the heck out of it, and abuse a dynamic EQ to try and tame it. What's worse is he used a monophonic patch, so there were no transients between notes! I got away with it, but I'm asking for future case?!!
@BobbyHuff
@BobbyHuff 3 жыл бұрын
Without hearing it it’s tough to tell but one of them has to win the bottom end and I’m guessing it should be the 808. It’s very difficult for an 808 and electric bass to co exist in the same track. I would have applied the technique that I used in the video to the 808 stuff and filtered the electric bass out of the way of the 808. This way the 808 covered the low end of the track but the 16th part still has the drive of the track covered. Without hearing it it’s tough to know but this is what I’ve had to do in the past. I hope that made sense and helps man.

I set the compressor with a fast attack, and a higher threshold so the low notes (which had little volume) could come through, and the higher notes got squashed above the threshold, and a moderate release. It was only when I sicked the dynamic EQ (Waves F6) on the offensive frequencies, that I got it at a consistent level and smooth frequency resolution with the F6 ducking the harsh frequencies when played. I would've loved to do what you did (super smart!) but with over 300 notes in the bassline, it would've been almost impossible with nowhere to split the notes. Nightmare to control, LOL.

So I would’ve ended up with 10 tracks of bass with a different note on each track and then done the process that was in my video. Or......... Quit and given them their money back!!! Hahaha.

Thanks Bob. New to this and could definitely do with some clarification. It looks like you're boosting the primary frequency for each note. Is that right? if so, wouldn't that just *accentuate* the difference (in frequency information) between each note? e.g. if NOTE1's primary was 45hz and NOTE2's was 65hz - and you boost NOTE2 around 65hz, surely NOTE2 doesn't get any more info in the 45hz range? It just gets more info in the 65hz range (and a bit either side depending on the Q)? I can hear that it works so clearly I'm overlooking some important (and probably obvious) info. Currently it's got me scratching my head though. EDIT: Half my comment was missing.
@BobbyHuff
@BobbyHuff 3 жыл бұрын
Hey. Good point! I brought out the primary frequency in all of the notes so that the surrounding frequencies surrounding that note, that would mask other notes wouldn’t be as loud, and then balanced the “perceived,” loudness of each note. It’s important not to just look on the meter for low end balance but to use your ear because even though some notes look too loud on the meter their perceived level may not sound loud enough... I hope all that made sense!! Great question and hit me back if I didn’t give you the answer you were looking for!
@loungermusic
@loungermusic 3 жыл бұрын
@@BobbyHuff Thanks so much for answering. Yeah, I think I get it! So you boost the primary, and then lower its 'peak' (ie actual peak, not perceived volume) back down to roughly where it had been previously until the perceived volume sits in line with the other notes - scooping out the surrounding frequencies because now the fundamental is louder relative to the frequencies around it (almost like a form of compression I guess, because you're squeezing and expanding different parts of the note)? If that isn't quite right let me know, otherwise, fantastic. I need to experiment with this!

Would this work well on the kind of music I’m writing? What about on drum Toms? Would this work as they are different frequencies. Sorry If some of these are stupid questions!
@BobbyHuff
@BobbyHuff 3 жыл бұрын
Q means how wide or narrow your eq curve is and how many neighboring frequencies you’re boosting or cutting around the actual “pin point,” frequency you are boosting or cutting. Yes this works on all music and could work on Toms as well but usually I’m trying to duck the ring of the toms shortly after the initial transient so they don’t interfere with bass notes.

Perhaps a great arrangement (with dynamics coming more from an arrangement of contrasting sections/elements), paired with great production gives people a serotonin rush or something. In fact almost certainly! I can see where Donald was coming, too, it's just that I find that I no longer care if the singer was the writer, because for certain types of song I almost see the singer as a vehicle for delivering the producers' songs. The lead vocalist effectively plays the role of a session musician; in the 60s you may get Jimmy Page, or the Wrecking Crew in as your session musicians and nobody has issues with that, but now producers effectively get 'session vocalists' in to deliver their songs, whether that's Katy Perry, Bieber or whoever.

In 1991, he, Diane Warren, Andy Hill, Dennis Morgan, Stan Lynch + Randy (American Idol judge) Jackson worked with Eddie Money! All-star cast! 😎 Sadly 1 the album bombed 2 after visiting Huey Lewis at a concert, promoter Bill Graham was gone, 30 years this October. 😭 The biggest hit from the album was I'll Get By. This was dedicated to Graham. The video states it. RIP Bill Graham, Eddie Money

Or..you can just lopass, add parallel compression+eq and para saturation and you will get better results.

Tried that technique as well and like it!! Not better results and and not quite as refined for me but if they are better for you that’s great!! Great comment.

Def Leppard's Hysteria has no bottom end and is a very tinny CD.
@BobbyHuff
@BobbyHuff 3 жыл бұрын
It has no bottom compared to modern day Urban/pop but its quite an amazing example of Mutt and Mike Shipley's attention to detail. Bottom end and bottom end mix trends have changed a lot since Hysteria came out 34 years ago! It had EXACTLY the bottom end they wanted. Thanks for watching man.

It’s a pitch tracking EQ. I have yet to try it, but it seems pretty useful. I saw Oak Felder talk about it in a video. www.soundradix.com/products/surfer-eq/

Randy Staub gets huge bottom end in his mixes and I think he's a better mixer than the 2 guys featured here. I think Randy gets better-sounding mixes than CLA as well. I think TLA is the better brother. None of these guys are slouches, obviously, just my .02 about Randy.

go back to BSB early tracks, literally no lowend. Crap decisions by labels and radios probably... It was shit. Then later on some stuff definately changed.

It is hard to take audio advice seriously from someone when all you can hear is excessive room slap back in their vocal mic.

Well I tried different mics and setups to match the audio of someone speaking in an operating room. The audio had to match the visual. Notice when I switch to the Cubase screen the audio dries up. I’ve learned from doing film and tv work that the video doesnt work when the audio environment doesn’t match. Thanks for watching!
