this is absolutely wonderful, my only question is why is your gain staging so low? is that just to make it easy or do you not typically have bass coming in around -18?

[paulyester]

I do have to agree that on all these videos, (even with decent reference monitors, or using cans) the over all level of narrative to instruments could be adjusted for a better experience... just sayin'...

[SteveStockmalMusic]

So both channels panned straight up the middle right?

[jonniaviles]

Hey bro, , I really appreciate your videos… I will say- U ARE THE FIRST OUT OF MANY MANY IVE WATCHED THAT IVE SEEN USE THE GAIN in the Dynamics/Compressor(at the 3:20min mark) please please explain why? I’m new to sound engineering and I’ve wondered what it is used for. I’ve attempted to use it kind of like a back up gain so that the MAIN gain doesn’t peak on each channel. Again, please explain. Thx 🙏🏼

[prograven]

compressor is very important for bass... nice tip... thanks

[tmangkim]

I’ve got it in two channel but how can I make one of them make the dirty sound?
Gain? Compress?

[dadivozo]

Very informative videos about sound engineering. Thank you and God bless!

[SwaponMia-kwdc]

Valo lage apner video thanks 😍 asob video debar jonno

[mbangisenimphaga]

When compressing the base we really don’t hear you talking about attack is how much, release, ratio, threshold etc unlike on drums you were mentioning

[cemarapkirlioglu]

Why is the voice louder than audio from the track ? Can't really hear much to be able to get stuff about 'Mixing'.

[janetflores]

so are you using two channels, direct or how i can duplicate the same signal? and i realy thanks for you help

[MySadowski]

How would you do the routing of the bass amp, so you get the two outputs from one amp?

[Прозвук-эп]

why you use so small gain on source, (yes, digital give good headroom)but it not universal, when you on tour (
transfer of scenes, repeatable results...).
thats why we see so strange thresholds
i find similar problem in x32.
gains of recorded sounds from DAW, much lower vs. live signals. virtual soundcheck is not posible, before you calibrating levels.
familiar with this problem?
by the way, perfectly understood without translation into Russian

[stevethomas]

What if you don not use an amp for the bass but run direct. Is there a way to get a solid sound out of it still.

[ogundeleobasanjo]

How do you duplicate a bass guitar into two channels?

[mootsym]

When controlling the dbs of the bass channels at the end, you lowered the dbs on the compressor instead of using the channel level slider. What's achieved going that route vs. just using the slider?

[BjorgenEatinger]

I guess we have to assume that the "bass amp" channel means a microphone on the bass amp, however later when setting up the compressor, you say "bass is not normally miked." Confusing.

[abiodunoluwafunsho]

Thanks, my question is is the bass guitar a stereo type or you
mic the combo alongside with it

[izziOnBass]

Hi. Have a question. When you mix Bass with a studio monitors lets say a HS7 or Rokit5s, which have requency response from 55Hz above, how do you really mix the 4 string bass open E which is about 41Hz or a 5 string low B which is about 31Hz?. Thanks

[sammichel]

I thank you for using my favorite chord progression my good sir ^_^
