Cheers!įrom a The Mix review of Rudimental - These Days in Sound On Sound:ĭespite the unusually crispy vocals, there’s a recognisably chart‑centric profile to the overall tonality of ‘These Days’, with significant troughs in the 150‑300 Hz and 3‑6 kHz zones, combined with boosts below 100Hz and above 8kHz. Having all of these options available is a blessing for us all and I’m grateful for the camaraderie we all share. This sub has definitely played a hand in that. You’d think after almost a decade of experience I wouldn’t have to ask about things like this, but I’ll be honest I learn something new every day. Any low end tricks to deploy, My gain staging is good.ĮDIT: Wow, thank you all so much for chiming in! I see a lot of helpful information here. Now I could try explaining to these guys about headroom etc, but I doubt they want excuses. I can’t push the final limiter too much without getting audible distortion. The result is a good mix, but a quiet one. I’m able to make the tracks boom, but when it comes time to master, my headroom is gone, hence my loudness is limited.
Getting a regular kick, an 808, and bass to work together isn’t always that easy. I was hired to do a few mumble rap type songs and they requested “lots of bass.” Understandable, but it’s not that simple is it.
