Q: good afternoon ive been experimenting with all sorts of mixing techniques for drums, and i found that low cutting all the kick sources anywhere from 20hz up to 40hz gives some interesting and mostly good results. it seems to make very low bass parts easier to perceive. is this something you've ever tried?
A: i've never tried that. i have very little understanding of the "who's who" within the low register. i've come to get a great understanding of what belongs below 200 and what does not. my biggest trick is ruling that separation correctly. but when it comes to what's what within either of those ranges, ........ i have no idea. although using less instruments at a time always seems to help me
