What is a good EQ for bass?
What is a good EQ for bass?
60 Hz to 200 Hz: Low frequencies requiring a bass or lower drums to be reproduced. 200 Hz to 600 Hz: Low mid-range frequencies. If you play the lower end of many musical instruments such as guitars or a piano you’ll hear this range of frequencies. 600 Hz – 3,000 Hz: Mid-range frequencies.
What level should bass be in a mix?
Subbass should be peaking at -12dB, so you keep enough headroom for the rest of the song. If mixing with headroom is not working for you, a general rule of thumb is to keep the subbass lower than the kickdrum by about 2 to 5 dB.
Where should bass be in the mix?
Try saturating the bass in the low mids and above. Because those are the frequencies that are available in those small speakers, the extra “push” of the saturation will help with translation. This way the bass will cut through the mix without having to boost with EQ.
How do I make my bass more punchy?
Re: How do I give the bass more punch and power?

- Counter-intuitively turn down the bass.
- EQ, also not on the fundamental region.
- Compression (Gentle!)

- Parallel Compression.
- Make sub region mono as early in the signal path as possible.
Should the bass be louder than the melody?
The bass should be loud enough that the low end is big and powerful, but not so loud that it overpowers the kick drum. Remember to check your reference mixes often to make sure you’re staying on course.
What Hz is punchy bass?
Do Lower Hz Mean More Bass? In any music setup, subwoofers are considered the best when it comes to reproducing the best punchy bass. One rule of thumb is that the lower the Hz, the more the bass you’ll get. In most cases, some of the most powerful subwoofers can reproduce deep bass at a frequency range of 20Hz.
