So you’ve produced an epic track with an awesome sub or 808 bassline, and it’s release day. People go online and hit play - but it’s on their phones with a speaker the size of a fingernail. Zero bass.

In this handy Tech Tip, we welcome back Taylor Franklyn with some super useful tips on making your lows more audible on smaller speakers or low-end headphones.

Starting with a tip on mono compatibility, we move on to processing our basslines with saturation to increase harmonics, creating more headroom, and some mixing techniques - duplicating and raising the pitch while using EQ to keep the channel in the lower frequencies.

Check it out and claim back your basslines!
