Eq and finalizing up sub bass

Music Production Music Tech Discussion

I am trying to finish off a riff with a booming sub bass. its already pretty boomish, but what i really am looking for is that HUGE sub bass.

Is eq and compression a good way to do this ? currently i am not using a saturator or any eqs or compression. I just am using an operator with an autofilter.

try to eq the kick and if you have a heavy sub bass. i would suggest to roll of with a HP filter the kick . then try to sidechain the bass with the kick . try to check the sa tutorial videos . it shows how u process Bass

You generally want your kick to be the subbiest part of your track a nice way to clean up your whole bass is to cut it between 40-50hz giving it a nice roll off. Also try to keep your kick and sub bass seperate and/or sidechained. Use an eq to find sweet spots of boom in yoir bass and kick and cut/boost with an eq.

everything depends on:


  1. if u have a subby Kick, than u Bass should not be too subby. And other way around.
  2. Look into Spectrum analyzer of Kick & Bass. If they peak at the same Frequency

    you could EQ the Bass a bit by lowering at that peak.
  3. If your bass sounds to heavy. lowering some Frequencies around 200Hz will give it some space.
  4. Don t use too much Plugins like RBass, BassBooster etc !
  5. Mono Everything below 300Hz with plugins like Basslane(freeware) : [url]http://www.toneprojects.com/products/plug-ins/basslane[/url]
  6. If your kick doesn t fit with the Bass, change it instead of over-EQing it.

    here a tut how to EQ it:





    have fun,
