tons of knowledge! a bit of harder and more advanced tutorial. struggled but made it to the last, took notes which I would certainly be reviewing repeatedly afterwards. This shows how refined music production really is. My eyes are widely opened. Thank you so much :)

[ItsSchroderMusic]

Honestly! it is unbelievable with what positive energy and passion you do all this and thank you so much because my level has become much better in a very short time

[bananawarriorprincess]

I learned so much from this thanks Nick. I've taught myself production for 9 months now, and haven't really spent any substantial time tweaking low-end like this. I've tried all of the techniques on the current track I'm working on, and WOW, my mix sounds so much louder and punchier! it actually hits just about as hard as the reference track I'm using. My love of this craft just went up a notch or two based on this! Great content thank you.

Nick has been my mentor for years. He’s incredible, so cool to see him on here!!!

[jayweb]

It's funny how this guy mixes almost exactly the way I do. But I still learned quite a bit. Thanks!

Wow! This is probabably the best music production video I've watched this year! Lot's of priceless gems. Fantastic work guys and thanks for the info!

[djebie]

Wow! thanks Nick. This really helped me, my bass always sounded like I have no bass at all. But after applying this technique my speakers are literally rumbling.

Nice tutorial!
I did remixing for several large labels and was also an artist on them in various capacities. I like my bass with a low cut at 50hz and my kick at 40hz before I do anything else like parralel compression and or side chaining. This lets the bass sit on top of the kick from the get go, anything lower than about 35 Hz robs energy of your track and will mask other elements, I always have my lowest element rolled off below 40Hz and then when mastering have the lows rolled off at 35Hz just for safety sake.

Yours is my favourite channel about music production.

[RolledInARaw]

Im going through playlist and first time I have seen you. Amazing quality from both .

[deepsoul]

I am eternally grateful for this video, thank you very much.

[fromherebeyond]

I watched a whole lot videos on bass level balancing etc. an I really have to say this one covers a whole lot.
And it does it so well! So thanks for the energy you guys put into this one!
Only thing I can imagine is to add informations about using an oscilloscope to analyse phase issues between kick and sub bass.

[JocanMaveric]

this was great thanks. I would love to see an in-depth tutorial on the multiband sidechain compression!

[niemandschuldet]

By the way... you have the most important channel in this topic. THANKS A LOT. It took me years to get a somehow nice result. BUT: You made my music sound better in just a couple of tutorials. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
