  • Hi Hi Nathan. Cool video. I was looking for it, finally found it again. Long search. Anyway can u pls tell me what the low and high cuts are of the 2 upper bass tracks with the agressive brass on top? I wish u could have shown the eq. Lows tend to cause lots of muddiness if not applied properly.

  • Also wanted to add Polyverse's stereo spreader as a great free plugin. It only has one parameter but I've always found it gives me the stereo spread effect I want

  • Nathan this a great video! I do a lot of synth work for fun adding to my friends' projects and bands from rock to singer-songwriter to hip hop. Most videos are EDM/Trap specific so I love that you cover the difference in production techniques you use for different genres.

    I think producing and synths will always be just a hobby for me but I enjoy getting to learn new things that help me add to my friends' visions and bring them to life. Thank you so much!

  • Dear Nathan, thanks for the very good tricks. But if you let us hear the difference between 2 basses centered and 4 basses panned left and right, then make sure you do pan them left and right, not 3 left and one right (or was it 3 right and one left) …

  • Another thing I do when copying a take and using it as two separate takes for the "spread" is not only separating the timing by a few milliseconds but also put a pitch shifter in the copied clip and pitch down about 25 cents.

  • how to turn any sound into chords, and be able to play it on a piano? Like if i clap and record it, how to play it on our midi keyboard?

  • New fan here haha thank you so much! I learn a lot from your videos 🙂 btw, may I ask what vst did you use for the strings in 6:48?

  • Aren't you supposed to like never use stereo imaging effects on basses because it will typically cause phasing?

  • So this video completely ruined my world. I’ve been producing my own hip-hop songs and mixing for three years now and the whole time I thought all bass had to be mono right down the center.

  • What I have heard is that the telltale sign of an inexperienced producer is that the bass is too loud.

  • Great topic. Can you tell me what you reached for or changed in the first tip where you added a bit of sine wave in the 50hz range? I totally get the technique and understand various ways this can be done but It was a bit tough to follow cause i did not understand what the source material was to begin with to grasp what was done to achieve it. Thank you :]

  • Bro you gotta add timestamps to these videos i cant be watching all, bc i know i had to know some of them and i cant be wasting time watching them again

    Reply
  • I was under the impression that low frequencies should be kept in the center of the mix. Can you explain your reasoning for widening your entire bass spectrum and not just the mid and high frequencies?

    Reply
  • Hey Nathan great video as always man.

    Are you using a gimbal that's tracking you on your second camera? Maybe the sensitivity is a little too high, the movements are are a little distracting actually

    Reply
  • Well, for the rock track I would disagree. Layering is no problem at all, especially if you have an aggressive distorted bass. No distortion for lows and subs and pretty high distortion for mids and highs. But not panning, keep it in the centre. And guitar! Yep, guitar should be panned left and right, maybe even quadro))

  • Thank you so much for making these videos. One of the only youtubers with a "logical" and simple approach to explaining things

    Reply
  • hey, was wondering about buying your course, but clearly you use IOS, and im just having fun with cakewalk on windows- does it actually make sense for me to get it?

    Reply
  • This is a bit off topic but for any Logic users out there like me who like to use a compressor to duck their vocal delays and reverbs with the Dry lead vocal signal, that new update to waves studiorack let's you internally duck the output of studiorack with the track input signal with ANY vst you own now. You don't need create a ghost sidechain track anymore. Great tips on bass by the way! My fav bass enhancers are Decapitator and denise audio Bass XL. Also that free studiorack update lets you create a multiband Decapitator…

  • Nathan! This video was amazing! I've learned so much! Thanks a lot! I'd love to see more vids like this! Keep creating man! ????

  • Nathan thanks for really just helping us out in these ways. I started watching about 6 months ago. And my producing has gotten exponentially better very quickly. Thx
