How to bring out Bass in Beats

How to bring out Bass in Beats

Postby BumShiv » Aug 22nd, '11, 02:24

So when im making beats i always have my beats by dre studio headphones on. I can def hear the bass through the headphones but when i play it through speakers i cant hear it. That is def a problem because not everyone is gonna have headphones on while listening. So, any one got any tips/advice on how to bring out the bass more? any help would be appreciated :y:

Usually bass/any other sounds shouldn't be any louder then just below half the dynamic range of a WAV file.
Kicks and snares should be at full volume.

Ehh.....When I wanna just pull bass from a file and reinsert it into the middle I usually use a resonance filter or vocoder..
Depends really..

You Shouldn't be using your heaphones only, you should use both, your speakers and the heaphones. But most importantly your speakers. The Dr.Dre Heaphones are not really made for beat production. yes it might sound better to you, but then you are creating the music specifically for those headphones so other people will not enjoy it.

The bass and the very booming kicks like on the 808, should'nt be too lowd. you should EQ both of them and try to identify the frequencies that are causing distortion and phasing out with the rest of the song and attenuate them accordingly. Don't remove all the bass tho', just make sure its not interfeering with the song. :y:
