I love the analogy of "vision" representing sound!...seriously...I felt a tickle all through my neurons! I've never heard it used, and I think it is a potent and effective way of illustrating sound mixing. Thanks Much!

You should keep them separate as you need to level them separately. Also you may be applying other effects that work for one instrument but not the other. In a digital studio, you can copy a channel's settings to another, so it only takes seconds to apply a compressor to both, then it is best to fine tune them individually.

A great little trick to use when mixing is to hit the MONO button (if you have one) and turn the volume LOW just so you can barely hear the bass note and judge the thump of the kick with it.EASY!!!

In other words, don't put a lot of low freqs in the kick but rather keep them like: +2 @80hz with wide Q, bump it up around 150hz or so, boost at 3 to 4 khz - really 'thumpy', not 'boomy'.Then, get your bass to cover the very low stuff with solid performance (even) and compressing/limiting and a bass enhancer plugin. But, make sure you bring out the upper mids so you can hear what the bass is actually playing.

Try this - keep the kick thumping around the chest area while the bass fills the gut.

you read well.

Exactly. If the kick and bass guitar are dead center, or even on top of each other elsewhere in the pan, then one will cancel out the other.

wot do u think about routing the bass and kick into the same audio channel and compress them together? |
