Episode show notes:

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: The low end of your mix. 

Get it right, and your mix will sound massive, professional, and tight. Get it wrong, and it’ll fall apart faster than your drummer at 3 a.m. on tour. 

So, how do you actually nail it? That’s what we’re diving into in this episode.

We’re sharing our tried-and-true approaches to crafting a low end that’s not only solid and punchy but also consistent across every playback system - from crappy earbuds to a festival PA.

If you’ve been struggling with muddy bass, boomy kick drums, or a mix that just doesn’t hit hard enough, you’re not alone. This is one of the most searched and talked-about topics in mixing - and for good reason. We’ll break it all down step by step so you can stop Googling random tricks and start trusting your ears.

Whether you’re a bassist trying to lock in with the kick drum, a guitarist looking for a big tone without stepping on the bass, or a DIY producer piecing it all together in your home studio, this episode will help you make sense of the low-end madness.

PS: We love hearing from you! 
Please join the conversation and help us grow the show by leaving a comment, or a rating and review on your podcast app.

Let us know what’s worked (or not worked) for your low-end struggles. And feel free to share your mix in the community, asking for feedback.

Again, if this episode helped you, leave us a review and share it with your friends and bandmates. Let’s make the world sound better - one punchy mix at a time.
