1.Bass Guitar EQ Multiple sources differently to create one great sound.
i. With the first source, the DI, control lows and highs with EQ filters- Using a stock plugin, set around 170-200Hz, and everything above that is low passed away. After that is another EQ, which is a less than 60Hz (this can drop lower to 40hz) and gently sloping, controlling the low end, giving room for the Kick Drum.
ii. With the Bass Amp High Pass at the same point around 170-200hz allowing the high end of the Bass Amp to give the sound personality.
iii. You can also duplicate the Bass Amp and follow the same steps above but also use to add additional Saturation or Distortion to help it glue together with the guitars.
2.Brighten Electric Guitar and Controlling Excessive High End 8:37
3.Creating a great Kick Sound Using Multiple Mics 11:41

Hi Friends, thanks ever so much for all of your incredible support! I love being able to share ideas with you! You all give me such great insight into what you're working on and how you create music. We are so blessed to have such an amazing community here! I hope you enjoy these EQ tips and please share some of your own!
Warren you are a crazy mad scientist! That kick drum trick was a work of pure genius!! The "all in" drum section you showed (kick with the rest of the kit) reminded me of the drum sound on "I am the resurrection" by the stone roses
Hi Tyson, thanks ever so much! I'm so glad to be able to help! Agreed finding those ugly sounds helps massively!
Aw shucks that's very kind of you The Capsicum Kid!! I love the Stone Roses! Amazing band!
Amazing video Warren! So informative!
Marvellous Info !! Lol
Warren, I wanted to personally thank you for taking time out of your busy day and talking with my studio recording class last week. I'm one of the students enrolled in the recording arts program at Butte College. I really learned a lot of valuable tips as well as some insight into what I should expect being an engineer. You're a genuine, funny, transparent and overall awesome guy! There needs to be more people like you in the industry! Cheers 🍺
Wow! Thank you ever so much! That really means a lot! I started Produce Like A Pro to give back and help people, I am so glad to be able to do that and getting a message like this makes my day!!! Thank you ever so much!
Your how to mix low end video literally made my mixes sound so much better. Thank you for dispelling all the high passing myths because so many of us don't know any better.
Wow!! Thanks ever so much!!
Warren, these 5 quick tricks series are amazing. Thank you for sharing your insight with us and such an easy to understand way! legend
Jay, you are very kind my friend!! I am so glad it came accrues ok! Haha
Damn, your material is amazing. You do your channel name justice. This is the stuff I’ve always looked for but couldn’t find. Until now that is...
You're very kind my friend!! Please check out the website as well if you can www.producelikeapro.com
Produce Like A Pro Thanks, I will!
Thanks very much!!
Warren, I never miss one of your presentation. I'm listening to this one from Sarasota Memorial Hospital ER with my buddy Wyatt Earp Kurtz
My Service K-9. Hope to be out of here soon. But this presentation come at a good time. I learn and it's a distraction of being in the ER
Hi Ricky, I wish you and Wyatt all the best and a speedy recovery! Get well soon!!
That de-essing tip is golden! Never thought of that and I can think of a ton of places I could have used it.
Cheers!
Thanks ever s much Justin! You Rock!!
@@Producelikeapro De-essing tip is helpful for me too!!Thank you Warren!
@@Producelikeapro For better control / precision, a dynamic EQ like TDR Nova is great.
I love watching these mixing tutorials where there's loads of boosting going on : ) One of the first things I "learned" years and years ago was "Never boost, only cut" and it's taken me a long time to get past that. Watching people like yourself do it with great results is gives me the confidence to experiment and break rules that I picked up at the beginning.
Dear Warren, thank you so much for this amazing video.
You made my mind explode because, I’ve had some of the same problems you actually cleared in this video.
You have no idea how happy I got when i went back in my mix and did some of these tricks...
Omg what a difference.
Thank you so much!
I wish you the Best.
Thomas
Thanks ever so much Thomas! I really appreciate it! I am so glad to be able to help!
Amazing tips! I can't believe how many of these you have!!!!
Thanks ever so much Matthew! You Rock!
Many thanks Warren! When I first heard you mention this technique for bass, I tried it immediately with an old mix and it knocked my socks off as I had no idea how muddy my low end was prior to. I went back and applied to all of my old mixes and it's a standard template for my new works. Your information is invaluable and because of your resume, I take you and your advice more seriously than ANYONE on RUclips.
Great tips! I recently found that HPing both before and after the reverb can help clear it up even more!
A very important video on eq . Thanks Warren!
Your Channel is fantastic. I have ALOT of your videos bookmarked and I always use them for reference. Incredible knowledge and very helpful. Thank you Warren. Sean
I've always tried to mix sound systems where the tweets do all the highs, mids do mids, and subs do bass, with a little overlap.
Now that I am getting into mixing instruments, I think of it the same way. I am slowly learning the sonic space each instrument takes up, and have been learning alot about the sonic space certain mics take up.
My mixing is by far, not professional, but I have found that I intuitively use multiple tracks to mix specific frequencies and fx..
It makes me feel good to know that I am on the right track. Thank you for your great videos. I have been binge listening the past few days and have learned an invaluable amount about phase, eq and compression.
That guitar got life when you put the Eq back. Great tips as allways.
Thanks ever so much!!
Superb tips! Very good examples. Many thanks!
What I took away from this is "high-pass and low pass all of your low end elements". I love your videos sir. Can't wait to see more.
J Bonez51 thanks for the marvellous comment! Although there’s definitely a lot more than that! Haha thanks for support!! I really appreciate it!!
What a great video! Thank you for your awesome generosity of spirit. I'm 50, a fairly experienced bedroom producer and I learnt something from this. That doesn't happen every day👍
amazing advice warren !! showing us how to use high passing properly is God send !! this really helps cut through the dis information out there !!
You're very welcome Darlene! I'm so glad to be able to help! Yes, too much misinformation unfortunately! Mastering Engineers have been noticing the problem the most, so hopefully we can help people make better music!
I use these same tricks with live PA. It really helps with clarity in most of the medium outdoor venues I have to work.
Awesome and very useful video on EQ tips! Thank you!
Great video Warren...very informative skill sets.
Great techniques Warren. Many thanks. I particularly liked the idea of using both low and high passing the bass, and it is very useful to hear the reasons for that. Makes a lot of sense, and I think I had heard about this previously, but discounted it because it did not make sense to me. It does now. Thanks.
The trick on equalizing 2 areas from the bass was a game changer for me. I have a small studio; I do not have a tube amp for a bass, nor I ever recorded more than one track on the bass, coming from de DI, but I decided to give it a try using my Acoustic practice bass amp with a SM57. Now my bottom end is WAY clearer and the bass more present. Thank you, Warren!
For someone who's done mixing for years, I don't always learn new techniques from these videos, but I do learn different ways to do them or gain more confidence in the fact that professionals use similar techniques to my own. Great video and thanks for what you do!
That really means a lot Rob! I agree! I'm not an expert, just trying to remind us and point people in new directions! Thanks for your wonderful comment!
Thanks, Warren! Great lesson again!
Much thanks to you, Warren.
As a newbie, there are so much to learn. Thanks for the excellent coaching. :)
Warren, thanks so much for your detailed presentations, and kudos to you for your professionalism when interviewing others. You're the man!
Wow! Thanks ever so much
one of the most helpful videos online regarding this subject. i feel like i just took a master class. thanks for posting!
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it
This is a gold mine! Thanks a lot for your videos and tips&tricks :)
Thanks Warren. I love your videos. These have been really helpful for me. By the way, i noticed the Ace book. Rock on
This is so helpful. Thank you!
warren you are hitting it out of the park with this video!! A M A Z I N G !!!
Thanks ever so much Harmony!
Love tip #3. This is one of the reasons I love the API, SSL, etc. emulations, because you don't have a visual to deter you from using odd or extreme EQ if it sounds great.
samsound exactly! Then there’s none of those self proclaimed ‘experts’ telling you can’t do it because it ‘looks’ wrong!
Thank you Warren for all those great advices you give us in all your amazing videos! I've learned so much in the last couple of months from you... you've been a real game changer for me! Each time I come across with some dificulties on my mixes I come back to your videos and everything turns to be ok in the end of the day...thank you ever so much for you time and effort...
Best wishes from Portugal!!! And hope you can keep going forever!!!
Hi Pedro in Portugal! Wow! I really appreciate your amazing support! Thank you ever so much!! You Rock my friend!
Brilliant tips, thanks for the video!
This channel is making my mixes instantly better. Great stuff!
Really cool info! Never thought of using a deesser on guitar and utilizing the pass filters in such a strategic way. Just found your videos and can’t wait to watch more. Thanks!
You're the man Warren. I've been dealing with tricky low end phase issues. This is just the video I needed!
Jon Acord fantastic!! Thanks very much!! Glad to be able to help!
Nice clarification on phase and high-passing. And de-essing guitars saved my skin a couple of times in the past, it's great that you shared this trick! Thanks Warren!
noisesoundtonevibe thanks ever so much! I’m glad to be able to happy!!
Thanks so much Warren - your generosity in sharing this incredible information is greatly appreciated. You're a top class teacher and clearly an all round heck of a guy! Love your bright energy. Thanks again, you're really helping so many of us.
Thanks ever so much Allan! That's very kind of you to say my friend! I'm so glad to be able to help!
I've been using the bass eq since I first saw you do it. I usually just have an amped signal, so I duplicate and send the high end through a virtual amp. I'm finding the bottom end doesn't need so much compression. It's totally sorted my bass sound out. Thanks!
Thanks ever so much! I’m glad to be able to help
Hi Warren,
Been listening a few vids (subscribed of course) and your knowledge is amazing. You also relay it so well. Your hairs cool too.
Thanks alot!

Wow! Thanks ever so much Brad! You are too kind my friend!
Awesome trick, thanks man!
Thank YOU for clearing up the High Pass BS out there!
Thanks Apple! I know I've been getting so many emails from people who are confused, so I hope we can help people out and make great music!
Hey Warren, watching your videos is like going to class in an audio engineering school. Thanks ever so much sir for lessons, I know each one of your lessons is worth its weight in Gold. Thanks a ton again, I've improved by miles since I started watching your vids
AW shucks thanks ever so much Kiran! I really appreciate your kind words!! I am so glad to be able to help!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
You're very welcome Les!
those tips are something I've been doing in my mixes for a while, and I'm aware I learned them all from your previous videos. So long, and thanks for all the fish!
Haha Yes!! A Douglas Adams quote!! You win the internet today!! You Rock!!
Another great tutorial. Great ideas controlling the low end overall and the d essing after high passing. Love this. Also, being aware of the low mid area and detailing with high pass. Great stuff. I know these ideas will help clean up my midi orchestra arrangements. Thank you so much!!!
Hi Thomas, thanks for the great comment! Indeed, controlling the low end properly through High Passing is really important indeed! Low mid build can become a huge issue as well!
Thanks for this video!
You are simply amazing..
The day I learned a about the famous abbey road reverb trick was a revelation - using reverb has never been easier :) I usually even put some EQ after the reverb to further tame low mids or annoying hi end.
Thanks for the reminder with the lo cuts and the bass trick, gotta practice that some more!
I am still looking for approaches to mix upright bass, especially with (picked) acoustic guitars, they seem to get in the way of each other a lot!
You're very welcome Jan Minor! Agreed! That trick is wonderful!
Yes, there are multiple tricks for mixing low end on Stand Up Basses!
Great advice, thank you Warren!
Ynnoxmusic thanks ever so much!! Glad to be able to help!
This is so Very useful. Especially the first one for me. Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you ever so much my friend!!
Another great, educational video from you, sir. You were born to teach, IMHO. Thank you so much. (-:
Thanks a lot Warren. Very useful tips :)!
martijnvandongen you’re very welcome!!
I usually leave everything vanilla and add or take away but not DeEssering that's new to me With Ableton 10 intro it's not that much you can do but use a lot of third party plug ins that some I found were a total waste of money . You have given jewels of information . Cheers from Temecula CA.
Fantastic. This 5 tricks series are very usefull and handy
Hi Alejandro del río thanks ever so much! So glad to be able to help!!

All of your videos are amazing!
So many good tips all the time! every video I learn at least 1 new neat trick to help my mixes!
Great job again!
You're very welcome Edward!! So glad to be able to help!!
I actually do have a question, if you don't mind me asking:
I do understand why a lot of people do use the de-esser to control the high end, and everyone says the same thing, that it is essentially a high frequency multi-band compressor. The idea behind is is pretty clear.
What I don't fully understand, is why not use just a multi-band compressor? Just because of the ease of use and knowing what the de-esser is doing, or do you think it does sound different from other multi-band compressors like C4, PRO-MB, etc?
Hi Edward, I find the DeEsser is a finely pointed high frequency multi band compressor, with a C4 etc you can vary the width of the Frequencies selected, so it might be more useful in that circumstance where you have multiple high end issues!
So useful, majorly helpful information, thanks! 👏🏾👍🏾
Thanks ever so much
The bass and kick tricks, of splitting the sounds to avoid phase cancellation, will be super handy - will try out with a DnB track I'm working on with immense bass that is getting slightly muddied in mix. Great that a lot of this can apply to all types of music, not just rock! Thank you!
ErisianLib thanks very much! I’m so glad to be able to help!
Love these five tricks videos. So much great info! I'll never forget to high pass again :-)
Thanks ever so much Martin!! You Rock my friend! I really appreciate the great support!
Great video Warren. Certainly gained my subscription. Can't wait to go through your other "5 quick ...tricks" tutorials. It's refreshing to hear such entusiastic and experienced advice - in an understandable accent ;)
Thanks ever so much David!! I hope you enjoy all of the other videos!! Also glad you understand what I'm saying! Haha
Very nice! Brighten, then DeEss!!! I forgot all about this technique... thanks for refreshing my memory on that!
Yes, I love that trick!!
This is absolutely brilliant and then at 9:33 "in solo that is the worst sounding schnizzle I've ever heard in my entire life" - I choked on my drink laughing at that. You should have double the subscribers, this is gold dust
Haha thanks ever so much! Well, it's ok I don;t mind owning up to something not being as good as it should! Haha Glad it made you laugh!
I used the bass technique yesterday. Love it.
Fantastic Justin!!
Hi try doing a blend of bass tracks say two one clean, punchy, thick, maybe a touch of chorus, the other a littke clanky growly. Nicely balanced will impress you but get the right sound going in, so they come out like they went in, like Chris Squire did on many songs.
This is new to me. I learned a lot here. Thanks.
Thanks very much Tony! Glad to be able to help!
Awesome tips/advice. These kind of tips from you are really helping me... a lot of a-ha!! moments. Already used the bass guitar one for my bands soon to be released next album (this tip was in an older video too)... I had been struggling to finally achieve one of my goals of having a bass guitar sound that I could really be proud of (5th album and until then, never been happy when putting it up against my favorite bass sounds). Thanks for shining a light on these more difficult areas. I'll be trying the drum room mic low end thing, the deessing thing (genius), and the reverb thing on our next album.
You are very welcome! That's amazing to hear that the tip worked! I'm so happy! You Rock my friend! I wish you all the best in your music!!
De-essers are such a useful tool. Great on splashy/tinny cymbals in drum overheads, too.
Absolutely
You make me want to move from hiphop and rnb To rock or classic thank you so much a lot to think about moving forward
that EQ on reverb trick is fantastic, what a difference that makes
Thanks ever so much
Huge thanks Warren! I’ll start playing w some loops as you’ve suggested (using attack and release settings to tailor/highlight transients per your advice).
Great stuff Jeremy! Sounds like you are getting creative my friend!
This was so good
Nice techniques. Thanks
You're very welcome LAstudio8!
So good thank you! Already my bass sound is tighter, stronger and stays out of the way at the same time.
Hi Warren, another great video with a lot of useful info. Always a pleasure to learn from the best! Have been involved in mixing my latest song with mixing engineer and we had a few disagreements regarding EQ's, comps, etc when after few EQ adjustments the "original" sound was going in a wrong direction. Luckily, I was able to do my "mixing tricks" (and I'm an amateur in mixing), and we got a "desirable" result. Thanks so much for a "crystal clear" explanation of how things really work. Kind Regards. Byolegy.
Thanks ever so much Byeology! Very happy to be able to help and very happy to hear you were ab;e to employ your own tricks and get great results!!
Fabolous video Warren You are an exxelent and super inspiring Teacher;)
jorgen landhaug thanks very much!
