Why Your Bass Is DESTROYING Your Mixes

[@jimmi274]

Bro I’ve learned so much from these videos. It’s crazy, my mixes are now sounding pro level. Thank you Devvon, you’re the truth!

[@reallygreatloops]

definitely! thank you Devvon!!

[@usmanhassan136]

Can't wait for Mix with the Masters with Devvon!

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Ahahahah not yet I gotta start mixing for more than just myself and close friends I need to open up the flood gates

[@shaferproducergod]

Great tips here from Deyvon!! Let me also add that 1. Be careful with the shadow hills because it can get really distorted really fast if you’re not careful so just be aware of that! 2. Rbass algorithm actually includes a resonant high pass filter so instead of putting it on your bass as most do try experimenting with it as a send just like a reverb this gives you more of an additive effect with more control!

[@bayzilian6868]

he has it on a bus already with the others

[@shaferproducergod]

@@bayzilian6868Its on the bass bus in his video hes not using it as a send

[@bayzilian6868]

ah i see what you mean, i dont use protools lol@@shaferproducergod

[@coldskoolbeatz]

@@shaferproducergodSo are you saying he should send less than 100% of the Bass to the Bus he sent it to already? Not being funny. Just trying to learn.

[@shaferproducergod]

@@coldskoolbeatz No im saying use Rbass like. Reverb and put it on its own seperate bus and blend it in instead of putting it directly on the bass. That makes it additive and not subtractive. Rbass adds a resonant high pass filter so if it’s directly on the channel its doing more than you probably think its doing. Look up videos of Rbass and plugin doctor it will give you a better idea if what it’s actually doing to your sound

[@squaddownproductions6264]

great video. been trying to get control over the bass im using in a song im mixing and this fixed the problem. bass isnt all over the place now and taking over the mix. thanks devvon!

[@braxal6983]

Devvon, I really like how you teach us. You are so animated. Please keep up with the great videos. I appreciate them!!

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Thank you so much I really appreciate the comment !

[@zaralove123]

Heard about you through a close friend of mine…have been watching and following along with my mixes (as well as adding my own bells and whistles 😅) and you have helped so much.

[@themadsamplist]

For getting the harmonics out and for nice saturation try adding Unfiltered Audio Dent2 and Elysia Phil's cascade to the chain. You can do a lot of this work with just those two plugins.

[@j.r.a.inthacut8148]

Love Unfiltered Audio Dent 2. I don't hear many people talking about it

[@themadsamplist]

@@j.r.a.inthacut8148 Yes me too. I use it all the time. It's very versatile and usefull in many situations.I'm a big fan of Unfiltered Audio. I have a lot of stuff from them. The way you can modulate anything and everything is just crazy usefull.

[@KleeVeals]

I have been watching you for a couple of years now and you have helped me tremendously.

[@fremadethis]

Gotta love Jaycen Joshua for this.

[@HelpMeDevvon]

He absolutely changed my entire perspectiveeeeeeeee hands down

[@fremadethis]

@@HelpMeDevvon same here!

[@ConnectDaPlug]

I've really just got into it now and i must say i am starting to enjoy the process behind everything i really like how you teach with reasoning and explaining those frequencies a little bit but controlling those harmonics and low end for most my years i had issues controlling my bass frequencies my mixes always sounded muddy and me look like an amatuer in front of my peers

[@JustDaNorm]

As Usual awesome tutorial bro! 👏🏾 I also really love how the studio looks. You did great work on the design. Harmonic Saturation is a great illusion for the ears.

[@Michael-Mosca]

U can tell Devvon really wants us to learn and that's what I love. U gotta explain things to people with the intention that they understand

[@marcito12345]

ay great video my g that jaycen sauce actually go crazy, watching his stuff teaches some gems for sure

[@HelpMeDevvon]

The goats I learned this from Jaycen and Dave!

[@syedzafeer1848]

I love how u teach!!! so so helpful to a beginner like me :)

[@HelpMeDevvon]

I’m super glad it helps thank you!

[@randyhood4528]

I see you with the Jaycen Joshua NLS BUSS trick setup! That trick sounds so amazing!

[@HelpMeDevvon]

U peeped that! I learn so much from those guys! And thank you for being a member I see that record icon 👀👀

[@Joeknowsit-ALL]

I love what you did here and it's all good. But how all these stuff you did interact with other instruments in the mix. I would have loved to hear these moves while listening to your mix and how it affect it. Thanks

[@terryperez7615]

Key point

[@Itsanasmusic]

Dude your tutorials are FIRE. Every thing is so precisely explained and shown!! Just amazing man

[@boutstaxx]

Very interesting my take on this is some plugins are just used to add the character of analog gear while in the box not necessarily just for performance will definitely be adding this trick to my arsenal

[@HelpMeDevvon]

For sure

[@squaddownproductions6264]

that's bryce youngs favorite phrase lol" for sure"@@HelpMeDevvon

[@WassupFred]

Good stuff bro.. This is working on your bass!! Salute

[@celasmonteiro]

4:40 Thanks for teaching me how to add intelligence to a bass so it can do my homework

[@enuf247]

Thank you for driving home headroom, I will try this on my next mix.

[@d.o.b.]

Beautiful job explaining as always🙌🏾 dropping them 💎

[@xander7099]

bro I remember hearing your music from Jmaine on rnbass back in the day your YT channel is dope! good vid man subbed.

[@jdosupreme4185]

Great technique and very useful info love your videos keep it coming !!!

[@deobeatsmusic]

This Was Very Helpful. Thank You for Helping Me Devvon

[@bartsimpson2131]

Great content, as always!!! What are your main studio monitors? (I know its the yamahas and some other speaker that you got next to them) And I'm curious what your recommendation would be for a set of nearfield studio monitors (thinking barefoot footprint 01, KH310, etc) Currently I'm on the Genelec 8040b. Appreciate your time and effort to make these videos, they're extremely helpful. Take care buddy!

[@thekingsmatter5845]

Good tut 👍. Thanks Dev

[@lostee2001]

Thanks Devvon.. you helped me.,🙂👍🏿

[@jeffbridges6110]

Your technique on this is very interesting. I'd have used a multiband comp in there , but this sounds good.

[@5ision]

Lookin’ fresh bro 🔥 always a great lesson!

[@KingsviewENTMT]

That don’t skip shit had me 🤣

[@HelpMeDevvon]

[@TyrenSavage]

Swear I was about to skip right when he said it😂😂😂

[@NathanielBTM]

i've been using this technique on vocals too. around the 2k - 2.5khz

[@876Plug]

Even on phone you could hear the puigchild give the bass some weight and liveliness, when it comes off the bass it sounded flat like no life or character to it.. wonder if this also works for an 808

[@HelpMeDevvon]

For sure try it

[@djjimmskeedjjimmskee1231]

Pause on the “girthy” bass lol fire vid as always

[@DezzyYBR]

6:13 “girthier” is absolutely diabolical/hilarious

[@adamregan4921]

I have all those plugins. Sounds "Girthy". Going to give this chain a go. Thanks Devvon.

[@EDP_beats]

I almost skipped! haha! Perfect timing... Love what you do! Aloha from Hawaii!

[@Griuofficial]

Thanks for a video , great signal chain

[@rosespersonal6727]

The way you knew I was skipping that part 😂🔥

[@richboyizzycash]

Right now you more like a mentor bro ❤

[@dracouave161]

When bro stopped tha vid and said ok ok ok dont skip🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 im dead💀💀💀💀💀

[@oldenmccray1958]

Great info HMD!

[@l1lw4vy3]

Devvon wit another banger

[@damienlewis7882]

I’ve stopped using black box on bass. I don’t like how you lose the sub. Noticed it in your example too. The harmonics can be nice but it always pulls something away that bothers me.

[@soundsofloveinstereo]

Amazing tutorial bro thank you for this keep them coming 🙏🙏

[@jentaro]

The sustain on the Shadow Hills is mad solid but that Black Box really made the bassline angry. By the end your ears will almost start to see that brick waveform.

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Harmonic distortion at its finest!

[@randyhood4528]

Great tutorial!

[@eliyoung961]

I LOVE YOUR CEILING 🤯🔥😂

[@camrenjones1079]

When you were using the RComp, were you targeting just the peaks with the threshold or were you also trying to target the tail?

[@alexbile2597]

right in time, thx bro

[@WavySteve]

What if I’m working with a 2 track from KZbin and the bass is just out of control? What would you recommend doing?

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Multi band compression would definitely benefit you heavily in that scenario

[@ElReyRiaga]

Amazing! This is super helpful for me! Out of curiosity, do you still use the 808/Bass Chain you've used from previous videos on top of the 808 Parallel Compression with this 808 Bus as well?

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Def changed this is my new go 2

[@ElReyRiaga]

@@HelpMeDevvon Super dope! I've been following your Engineering Channel for the past 2-3 Years and they've helped my mixes TREMENDOUSLY. I REALLY like this new Chain and I wanna try it with my newer songs. More than grateful for you King!!!! Thank you for everything you do in the Audio Engineering and KZbin Creator Space!!!!

Jaycen Dropped Some Gems There 🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥

[@maruserumangaka]

I click just because I wanted to see how you will use Jaycen Joshua's techniques 👀even if I do know you befor him. great content

[@Agent56000]

Fundamental freguency is a must know for sure

[@itzjetlife3639]

any advice on how to do this with bass that you don’t have a stem to? such as youtube beats when there’s only a single file

[@WassupFred]

Good video bro.. question… how can we control that bass in a master?

[@Somedei]

Nice Jayden Joshua tuto recap

[@kriLdaChrixt]

Dope! Would love to see a breakdown of your drumbus

[@itsmr14th]

Coulda swore I was already subscribed 😂 thnx for the reminder

Definitely gotta try out those black box plug-ins

[@lexmasbeats]

Devon you are a legend man !!!!!!!🔥

[@hundeaux]

What’s good bro have you ever tried adding Looptrotter SA2Rate at the end of a reverb bus?? 🔥🔥🔥

[@ProfessorSaibertin]

Thx for the tips man.

[@bobmcgee8577]

do you ever soft clip your bass

[@reginaldbastien5617]

Is it better to use a buss for the bass ? Why not putting the pluggins directly to the bass?

[@SajhanWickramaratne]

The only thing missing here is some hard clipping in the end! ❤

[@IKTAJJ]

ur videos are g8 ..loved it

[@bethel2112]

How would mix a spinz 808?

[@agomonstar.producation]

HMD yo bro, I see you're using JJ technic on ya bus, can you explain that, like when to add them (NLS Buss) Like should we add them before mixing or mix all the bass and drum and then later add?

[@zumabeatz]

Devvon I have a question, can I do this same process to my 808 or is that a different process?

[@officialjrduncanpage]

Can you accomplish this with the waves maxxvolume (upward compression plugin) ?

[@Aryamansarkiofficial]

i juz wanna ask this question i hope you answer this or anyone reading if u can help im juz curious to know if an artist has his own laptop and wants to hear the audio through the speakers by using his own laptop what is the way that he can connect his laptop and use the ssl counsel too cuz I have seen videos where producer will bring their laptop and hook it up with the counsel and literally they can use the whole counsel and even rec to it too....I dont know how they do it there is no video of it too that's y I'm asking you I hope this makes sense now.Please these information would help alot

[@harrisonnoblemusic]

Are you using soothe to duck the bass?

[@HelpMeDevvon]

Yea only ducking 60hz and below

[@yangjiyangji]

Oh this approach is jaycen joshua from mix with the masters. Rcomp rbass and shadowhills

[@yangjiyangji]

Actually that rcomp setting from jaycen joshua works very well. And helps in terms of gain staging, overall mix.

[@El_Ngoga]

yoooooo man, 😉👌

[@brandonhuggins1736]

It woulda been nice to hear it in context of the total mix.

[@JakeLewisReal]

that pugichild defaults to adding 0.3dB on the output. that will influence your perception of what its doin!

[@HelpMeDevvon]

I still like what it brings. At the end of the day adding .3db along wont give me that color that i want so im not stressed on that small bump

[@JakeLewisReal]

@@HelpMeDevvon i feel ya, idk why Waves defaulted to adding .3dB to begin with

[@StepanTrnka]

@@JakeLewisReal Because it's Waves ;-) Louder means better, you know...

[@JakeLewisReal]

@@StepanTrnka true that my friend
