Hi there, i'm with a problem and need some opinions...now i'm making a new track, in my studio he track sounds perfect, but when i send to another people, they say that the bass is too much "boom" what can i do to make the bass sounds much clear?? just mastering?? eq? better sidechain?
i'm using Rme fireface 400 with Yamaha Hs80M monitors ...

your bass too loud , it take all the space in the mix , one problem is the mix balance, maybe adjusting the tracks level could fix this |

I don't think the bass is too loud. I think the bass is to much bass... put a low shelf on the bass, from like 120 - 130hz @ negative 1.5 - 3 db. Other than that, it sounds pretty good. |

try a/b with a realsed track with good production imo, gonna help you more than our advice,specialy for adjusting the mix balance that is imo what you should fix in priority .(to give more air and depth to the mix ) |

First thought: Nice sound of the track, as for the bass i think you should filter out some of the subfrequencies below like 80Hz or more.
I Did a little test with REQ from waves, place a highpass filter on the bass at 80-100Hz with a Q-amount of 0.7-.9

hi pass filter @80hz? are u sure ? surely u mean a narrow bell curve

sidechain the pad to the kick , reduce those freqencys in the pad or thicken bass or shorten velocity, send the pad at the back wide spread. try try try

i always heard that in master channel u have to cut under 25hz frequencies, i never have mastered one track, i never listened any track before and after mastered, mastering solve this problem?..dont know the differences...when i make basslines in note G they sounds much more clear, but this one is in D note.... |

Hey man, like the track, sounds good.
I did an interesting test and played it on my shitty laptop speakers (you should try this if don't already) and the result was a rather weak sounding bass, not prominent enough in the mix.
So I would conclude that you should probably filter out a bit in the low freq area and I would say also give the hi freq bass (500-1000hz area) a bit more bite. Its important to make sure the bass has frequencies to make it sound powerful also on systems that do not reproduce bass very well.
Good luck! |

hi dude, thanks for the tip, yes i already made that, lowpass the 500hz area, the bass high frequencies is more powerfull for sure, but the the problem is that when i do that, the bass sound stay over the leads...i will try tomorrow make the sidechain kick+pads or leads like Jizy said and i will upload the link..
really thanks for the tips people
cheers
