Dialing in the Low End: EQ Secrets for a Better Bass Mix
When it comes to crafting a solid, powerful mix, few things are more important—or more misunderstood—than EQ'ing your bass tracks. It's the heartbeat of your production, and getting it wrong can sink an otherwise great song.
In this episode of Inside the Recording Studio, Chris and Jody grab their sonic shovels and start digging deep into the frequency trenches of the electric bass. Whether you’re a producer, engineer, musician, or bedroom mix wizard, this episode is packed with tips and tricks to help you sculpt the bass sound you've been chasing.
Breaking down the frequency zones. From the sub frequencies that shake the room to the low mids that can muddy the mix—and even the elusive "air" frequencies—Chris and Jody walk you through the entire EQ landscape.
When to cut, when to boost, and why. Not every bass track needs the same treatment. You'll learn how to spot the problem areas and when to tighten things up or let them breathe.
How your bass interacts with the rest of your mix. EQ is not a solo mission—it’s about making your bass play nice with drums, guitars, vocals, and everything else.
Plus: Don’t miss the signature segment, Friday Finds, where they share new gear, tools, or resources worth checking out. And of course, expect a sprinkle of nonsense to keep things fun.
So if you've ever asked yourself, "Why does my bass sound muddy, flabby, or lost in the mix?"—this episode is your roadmap to clarity.
