Big Bad Bass - A Tutorial on Low Frequencies. Sub-bass occupies the frequency range from 20 - 100 Hz. It is not so much heard, but felt. Sub-bass is responsible for creating a low-end presence that gives a bassline its power. Special attention should be paid to this layer as low frequencies take up a lot of headroom in a song. Getting the sub-bass just right is an art. Too much and it will sound muddy and eat up valuable headroom, too little and it will sound thin and tinny.

Tip: To accurately gauge sub-bass, your studio monitor set-up should have a sub-woofer. Step 1: Create your sub-bass sound The source of your bass can be a synth patch or a sample. Synthesize: Many synthesizers (software and outboard) come with dedicated sub-bass patches, however, it's easy to create your own.

Sample: Alternatively you can use a sub-bass audio sample, loaded into a sampler. Step 2: EQ / lowpass Step 3: Limit Bass should be as loud as possible and have very little dynamic range.

Technique : Effects / Processing Compressing the stereo bus can give your music coherence, smoothness and, above all, punch — but there are plenty of pitfalls for the unwary.

We lead you through the minefield that is mix compression. Will Haas Mix-bus compression can be a confusing topic for inexperienced mixers and engineers. After all, some great mixers swear by using mix-bus compression, while others prefer to keep the mix bus pure. To set the record straight, there is a huge sonic difference between mixing into a stereo compressor from the outset versus slapping a stereo compressor on the mix bus just before you print a mix. The point is that the same set of fader settings will actually produce a different mix balance depending on whether you apply compression, and how much. Used appropriately, mix-bus compression can be another tool for adjusting the overall balance of your mix, giving you 'glue' to help meld sounds together and make the overall mix balance sound more cohesive.
