Bass Layering and Mixing For Electronic Music

Bass Layering and Mixing For Electronic Music

Every producer has spent hours trying to get their basses to play powerfully and yet still remain balanced with their entire mix. We often think we've got the perfect sounding bass, but when it plays with everything else, it's either overwhelming or doesn't translate on smaller headphones/laptop speakers. 

In this course you'll learn the right way to Layer, EQ and Sidechain the perfect bass for your mix.

Course Overview

1. Discover how bass can be divided into 4 frequency bands, and how they are individually EQed to create a clear and compelling low end. 

2. Learn how to design each layer of your bass so they can easily be adjusted for your mix. 

3. Find out why we sidechain each layer separately and how it creates more room for your kick to punch through dense mixes. 

4. Learn the advanced techniques for getting your sub frequencies to play on smaller headphones and laptop speakers.

5. Every producer must know how to use EQ and compression together. Included is my E-book, "The EQ and Compression Formula." In it you'll learn the step      by step way to use EQ and Compression together.

This course will remove the guess work when creating and engineering basses. It doesn't matter whether its a synth bass, an audio sample or some combination of the two. By using these bass layering techniques you'll be able to create the perfect sounding basses for any mix.
