[@billaveda6408]

Thanks for showing the dB levels of kick and bass.
Most video tutorials don't even talk about dB levels on the tracks. I don't know why they leave out that kind of useful information.

[@papakias3922]

true, I always have to pause the vids and check what the db are.

[@robertsimoesmusic]

The idea to create a separate sidechain channel on the kick and link up the bass to this was great. I'm assuming the channel would have the sidechain kick playing through the whole track then in order to get the sidechain to trigger the compressor during break (it's still muted)?

[@DaFresh]

Yes exactly, and always muted

Thanks! Noticed that when I want to freeze a track because of cpu load I cant sidechain my bass anymore. Is there a workaround?

[@DaFresh]

If you are on Ableton 10 that's normal. But on Ableton 11 it works

[@thomas_rellum]

J’ai hâte de voir le tuto comment mixer les groupes

[@DaFresh]

Groupe de ?

[@camilledibano2502]

Groupe d’instruments je pense style Drums group, synth group etc bref quand on groupe les pistes, je pratique beaucoup ça aussi et c’est vrai qu’une vidéo dessus (si tu pratiques effectivement) serait top 🙂

[@DaFresh]

J'en ai fait une sur les drums, si tu ne l'as pas vu 😉 ruclips.net/video/UtsZ8sB2FUk/видео.html

[@camilledibano2502]

Moi si justement et c’était top, je parlais plus pour des synth et autres 😅

[@DaFresh]

Honnêtement je ne groupe que mes drums, en tout cas quand je groupe mes synths je ne mets rien de particulier sur le groupe. Mais je me pencherai sur la question pour un futur tuto maybe 😉

[@sutadyerk]

is this applicable for a split bass as well?

[@DaFresh]

Sure

[@blaisedessers1904]

Waw, super les techniques de mix!!! Big merci à toi. Si on a un layering de 2 ou 3 basses , on procède de la même façon pour chaques basses?

[@DaFresh]

Si layering de basses ? Yes idem pour chaque basse par rapport au kick et par rapport aux autres basses aussi (pas toutes dans les mêmes fréquences)

[@korenmcintosh5112]

Your videos are amazing thank you so much! Can I ask do you always have your kick @ -10db? 😊

[@DaFresh]

Thanks. Yes kick always at -10dB. But that's not a rule, -12 or -15 is ok too, as long as you don't go in the red zone of your channel volume and master channel volume.

[@CrohnEdits]

You are the best.

[@DaFresh]

[@alexisdess128]

Bonjour, à partir de 30sec vous montez le gain à +-8bd et vous montez le Q à 1.09. Y a-t-il une raison particulière de monter le gain à 8db et pas 5 ou 9db et le Q à 1.09 donc de ne pas le laisser au réglage d'origine qui est de 0.71. En gros, comment savoir les petits détails à régler et à quoi servent-ils? Sinon, super tutoriel. Merci bcp pour votre réponse 🙂

[@DaFresh]

A 30s je boost à 50Hz l'EQ au niveau du pic du kick juste pour montrer visuellement où il est. Peu importe que ce soit 5 ou 8 ou 9dB de boost puisque après je supprime cet EQ sur la piste de kick pour le coller sur la piste de bass et inverser le boost en cut (c'est là que le réglage compte). Et je ressers aussi le Q pour mieux "cibler" le pic plus précisément.

[@alexisdess128]

​@@DaFreshSalut et merci pour ta réponse. En fait tu dis : je supprime cet EQ sur la piste de kick pour le coller sur la piste de bass et inverser le boost en cut (c'est là que le réglage compte)... Moi je me demandais de combien de db il fallait justement diminuer pour ce réglage? Combien de db doit-on diminuer pour laisser la place au kick? Toi dans ton exemple c'était -8db (+-); Est-ce toujours environ -8db et si oui, pourquoi -8?? si je diminue de 1db, est-ce assez comme place pour le kick? et inversément, si je diminue à fond ( donc -15db ) est-ce que je ne laisse pas + de place pour le kick justement? Désolé de te déranger mais j'aime bien savoir pourquoi je fais ça et pas juste recopier bêtement. Un tout grand merci pour tes réponses :-)

[@DaFresh]

Ok j'avais mal compris ta question 😅 Ce n'est pas systématiquement -8dB, ça va dépendre de ton kick et de ta basse. Ici je montre la technique, après il faut l'adapter selon les sons que tu as. Parfois -2dB suffiront, parfois il faudra couper jusqu'à -10dB ou plus...

[@alexisdess128]

@@DaFresh -2, -8 ou -10, j'imagine qu'il n'y a pas de technique à étudier, que tout se fait à l'oreille alors?

[@DaFresh]

Ça c'est la technique, après il faut savoir la doser à l'oreille yep 😉

[@simoTiiy]

Is it better when the kick and the bass are in the same
Note ?
Please answer

[@DaFresh]

Same key you mean ? Not in my opinion... If it sounds good not in the same key, let's keep it like this.

[@nawothnig]

what if my kick has the exact main frequency my bass is playing all the time? better to use sidechain compression?

[@DaFresh]

Yes, sidechain will work nice 👍

[@eddyf4426]

I was often told not to eq bass especially with sharp cuts like you did at 18 hz as it would introduce artifacts and resonance issues, thoughts?
Despite this, the bass/kick seemed to sound ok

[@DaFresh]

Yep, today I would say to try softer curve. But it depends on each bass, just try and hear what works best for you, there's no definitive rule.

[@mravocado1283]

Enjoyed your sample pack. I have a question about kick & bass. If you are mixing a bassline that is a continuous tone with kick, like every Ben Bohmer track for instance, does your mixing change?

[@DaFresh]

Glad you like my sample pack. To answer your question : yes the mixing doesn't change

[@mravocado1283]

@@DaFresh thank you :)

[@jonnyk2091]

[@DaFresh]

🙏😌

[@impolitikful]

I dont get how you can set bass -3 under kick. Mine is -20 and and still loud enough to hear.

[@DaFresh]

It's -3dB based on the peak of each channel, not the volume on the Ableton's faders which can be totally different depending on the source / vst / sample you use.

[@impolitikful]

@@DaFresh I will look into that. Thank you!
