I have a city and guilds diploma in sound engineering and have engineered for the likes of Stanton Warriors, MC Moose, Michelle Gayle (don’t ask) , Take That and Smiley Culture to name a few
What you gotta know about bass is you need to be about 16 metres away from speakers to hear a whole bass waveform as low frequencies have the longest waveform – that’s why a lot of bedroom producers mixdown bass heavy cos they are trying to get the club sound in their bedroom – it ain’t happening – best advice – get a RAM tune up and look at it on your logic EQ oscilloscope – look at how their frequencies look and try and emulate that visually – eyes can overcome ears if you have dodgy room acoustics!
