The LOW END of the pros is WIDER than you think (Try this)

nice one

@@musicmakesmefeelgood-b4e thanks :) glad you liked the video!

[@andypatbath]

That's my favorite filter too. Good taste. Super great video and overview. Learnt alot.

[@solarj]

Thanks mate :) happy you liked the video!

You have to put Metric AB AFTER your final limiter if you want to do A/B comparison against references, otherwise the reference tracks will be limited again on top of their own limiting.

@@amg5656 Of course, that’s exactly how it is in the video ;) check 0:54

Nice 🔥

[@Melkaba2021]

just use the unison knob and get it wider than you have now and more clean!!

[@solarj]

Thanks for chiming in 😃 What you suggest will make the bass wider for sure, maybe cleaner, but definitely..less mono compatible! 😅 Try this: 1. open a serum with the init patch. 2. put a Utility after it 3. compare switching on/off the utility 'Mono' button while playing some notes (you should hear no difference) 4. now add more voices to the init patch (e.g UNISON=2) 5. repeat step 3.. Mono-ing a patch with more than one voice (unison > 1) changes the sound dramatically, meaning that your bass will sound very different when played in stereo or mono. I find it easy to make things wide, the difficult part for me is to make them wide AND mono compatible (same sound character and similar intensity when switching from mono to stereo) like the pros do :) (Also the procedure you suggest is Serum-specific while with the reverb can be applied to any audio source e.g. a recorded external mono synth)

@ShaanKapoorSuperstar It's just an emoji lmao

So we can tell who cuts to vinyl and who ignores that medium

[@R3ND3RR0R]

It’s probably only the low low end that’s mono

[@solarj]

@@R3ND3RR0R in the examples I show I am only analysing the low end - with a low pass filter on metric AB, filter at 80hz -12dB I think. And it’s surprisingly not always mono :) Check the ARTBAT track example, the low end is super stereo, it’s crazy!

[@rebirth4119]

At the end of the day, it comes down to sound system(like a club's stereo speakers) you aim for and if you're actually phase cancelling. You can actually get somewhat wide with really low frequencies without any phase cancellation happening. But one thing you do have to be careful is not making your low frequencies feel lopsided by having more emphasis on one speaker than the other.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmmqoIaDlK-Cf9k is also a bonkers example of low frequencies all over the place where you'd least expect them.

@@emilbergh cool track too!
