Honest video, I appreciate the fact that you acknowledged all the years of learning and building experience. Glad this wasn't one of those here's how I did it in one hour only :). Good stuff chief.

Cool concept it was cool to see you younger in context and even if it short and simple Its inspiring, even after the fact that I already heard some of this

Really great insights and advice Justin - thanks :)
Also, I was just re-watching your excellent recent video about mixing at low volumes, and how this can affect the ability to listen to bass frequencies effectively when mixing.Generally, I'm okay (but not great) at trying to apply saturation of bass frequencies in various genres to create higher harmonics in the mid-range, as well using bass layering (for example with synth bass music) to have one bass 'element' play notes which are more detectable on small speakers.
But specifically when trying to mix reggae / dub bass (1970s style, such as Aston family man Barrett's tone on Wailers / Scratch Perry records), I struggle to get this to come through on modern day laptops / phones which cut the bass frequencies.
Please do you have any advice about mixing reggae / dub bass for smaller speakers (and still keeping the tone reminiscent of such a unique genre)?Is it possible, or should I just accept that the particular tone needed for reggae dub bass will not cut through on such playback equipment, given the genre's style of a pretty clean bass which isn't much-saturated?
Mixing reggae dub 1970s style bass always seems like the compromise to either: a) keep the 'clean / pure' tone of Aston Barrett (and others') bass tone, or b) create a higher-frequencied bass tone which does come through on laptops / phones, but then has moved significantly away from the tone that I am after (due to its much more mid-range / saturated sound).
Many thanks in advance.
