Silent Killer Low End Mix HELP!
Gang!!!!
Thought I would share a mix I’m working on and ask for some feedback?? Put this post on the wrong board, so my bad if you see this twice… I’m really looking at the low end of this mix currently. Anything you are hearing (mix wise) though would be of great help. I need to hand this in yesterday ( haha typical engineering timeline) so hopefully I’ll have the time to implement any suggestions.
Thanks to @dana and the whole Mix Protege community for allowing this to happen.
Love & Respect

Alex,
I took the initiative to extract the bass and kick from your 2 track mix. The separation process does leave some artifacts and we’re dealing with mp3s so there’s some fidelity issues. The RIP-X software is not perfect but the point I made about the tonality of those two instruments is shown to be true. I rest my case.

Hey @Gage and @detective! Been merging in our threads to this discussion so that other members can find the full shebang in one place and follow along. Thank you both for your excellent shares and contributions! ⚡️🤘
Alex!! Love this! If u have it in u, could u copy\/paste what u wrote and reupload the audio to the Member Spotlight forum? 🙏🏻. Meantime, here’s an explanation on how to do that, as well as some mix thoughts. The mix is fantastic, as are you!
Thanks a Milly Dana! Sorry for being a tourist and not uploading correctly whoops. I will do that correct next time. Also, thanks so much for taking the time out and listening and giving great feedback. I will totally attempt what you said and think it really does just need that aggressive punch. Kicks a little flat comparative to the wide bass. Mucho respect!!
Alex,
First listen and immediate reaction…
I’d bet the reason you’re questioning the low end of your mix is because how different it is from the wonderfully controlled mid and top end. Your arrangement allows the listener to easily navigate back into the mix to find the stereo percussive ear candy and into the vocal reverb without having to machete through density. It’s a pleasure to listen to. Vocal articulation is paramount to my biases. Super clean and accessible.
The bass guitar and kick drum have a wholly different vibe. Comparatively I hear them as woolly, the direct opposite of the rest of your luscious mix. They’re (kick and bass) not as available to my ears and other listeners. I’m thinking bass and kick with a mid and high end component would compliment what you’ve got cooking and make it even better. Great work.Detective Tucci
Detective Tucci,
Haha I love this. Appreciate the beautiful detail of your listening notes. Absolutely agree with the low-mid and low-high end clarity. Exactly what I believe Dana was alluding to so that’s what I’ll clean up. Push a little more aggression into the kick. Thanks so much for the listen, compliments and energy detective!!
