Fantastic videos Jon! No nonsense, just technical, insightful, and meaningful step by step tutorials on working with arrangements and sound. Please keep them coming!
I just finished an exercise in writing a Vangelis-style trailer. I was struggling with managing growly but bass-saturated synth pads. Volume and panning weren’t getting me to clarity and maximum impact. Removing a layer wasn’t an option. I introduced Channel EQ and it did help, but I wasn’t fully understanding the forces at play. The simple concept of competing bass frequencies - the right framing - was an epiphany. I now have a way to sort this out. Thank you! Again! I nominate Jono for Logic Pro Teacher of the Year. Cheers!
Agree with other commenters. Your tutorials are awesome. Learned more in last hour on your channel than several days on other channels. More please! Keep up the great work!
Hey Jono, happy new year and looking forward to more great tutorials! Being a bass player, this was such a cool video, quite a lot going on to get that bass sounding nice and clean, but you have given me so much to look into on my recordings and I can now, with much more confidence get it right for the different types of bass I may use on different genres of music. Thank you so much for such a great tutorial as always.
More to come every week. Make sure you subscribe and turn notifications on. There's also a huge playlist with loads more Logic Tips on our channel page!
so i finally understood side chain! there is a lot of situations where i need to make one setting or plug in mirror or respond to other systematically. Automation for example, how to couple automation? So if you have more on this i am more than thankful!

@Jono ..already subscribed a while ago. Was a huge fan of yours before RUclips came around...back in the day - reading your "How to tips' in music rags. :)
@@MusicTechOfficial (Jono) a good tutorial on Mid/Sides EQing/Compressing, mixing, 3rd party plugins versus stock plugins for various task, summing, effects in electronic dance music could be a hit. Cheers.
THat's the clearest description of mixing the bass I've come across. You mentioned at the beginning that the other approach to mixing the bass with the kick is to give the bass the priority-do you have an example of when you would do that?
Thanks Jake. I've got a new channel here if you're looking for more content like this. New videos every week: ruclips.net/channel/UC-RFQtqWAG6kFPRkumqn7rA Cheers, Jono
Brilliant tutorial ! well explained. I just have one question. If the synth bass in your example was to play more than one note in a sequence (which causes the frequency wave in the EQ to shift), would further EQ reduction in the low end then be required ? I ask this because when I have tried doing this myself, but I notice that other notes the synth bass plays end up sounding louder/boomier than the one at 60hz, due to the frequency of the new notes no longer being at the 60hz spot ? If that makes sense.
Hi Ryan. Many thanks. It does make sense and the short answer is yes, depending on the tone of your chosen bass sound, you may well need to EQ each note/frequency carefully, if you're looking for ultimate precision. I have a new channel: ruclips.net/channel/UC-RFQtqWAG6kFPRkumqn7rA so if you're looking for more content like this, do come and join me there. Cheers, Jono
hands down the best for logic pro x tuts

I think it’s a great idea to mix with your eyes since many speakers and rooms hide certain elements. I love logics analysis tools.
Many thanks for another extremely complete, clear and professional experience.
You are very welcome
I agree with A.I.D. amazing and valuable video on masking - really, really, really helpful!! Awesome Jono!
Superb clear concise vid more please 👏

Very clear and helpful explanation. Happy New Year.
Thank you! Very helpful and to the point
You sir are an excellent tutor...thank you so much for this 👍🏽
Well done! You have identified a key problem and strategic solutions. Very useful!
Thank you, Mark! Let us know if there are other specific topics you want to see covered and we'll get them on the list for future episodes :)

Excellent video- this channel is truly outstanding!
Ridiculously helpful! Thank you. Also... You don’t happen to have release your own music anywhere?? The sample track was incredible by the end.
That was excellent, as always.
This is just so beautiful.

Well done. I already knew this but it's the best and thorough video on frequency management. Cheers.

Your bass line is only playing one note what if it playing more ?
