That's actually a horrible way to mix your kick and bass. All you had to do was tune your kick and bass together and side chain you lost a great deal of power from the Kick by cutting it the way you did. Another thing you could have done was cut most of the low end from the bass and add a separate sub bass and do what I said previously. You'll get that nice deep rumble effect to really shake the building up.
What he's trying to drive home is that the VERY first part of your signal chain, the very first tool you should be employing in mixing is your choice of samples/instruments. He also should have tried to get people to realize, if shits clashing that means you suck at A: sound design B: selection of samples C: song writing and arrangement, but more than likely, all of the above. If your mentality is to side chain every thing and eq everything, then i'm sorry you're not going to get very good at production, because you're not going to get very good at song writing/arranging.
If you do that you get that ducking effect from sidechaining, that is not always wanted, especially in non EDM tracks. This is just another form of mix Kick & Bass.
In my 10 years history on youtube,this is the first channel I am hitting that like button before watching the video.Because I know I'm going to like it...Ok so check it!:)
No, you still need to eq. Sidechain doesn't remove frequencies it make one instrument quiter when other plays at the same time (i.e. kick and bass), you can make that unnoticable or have that "pumping" effect from dance music
@You Suck at Producing Are you doing this on all your tracks? What about applying this method to techno music? Would be nice to see video where you mixing techno bass and kick ...
Hi Underbelly, I like your sarcastically and cynical humor alongside these videos. Keep up the good work! Best regards, Emiel (you can pronounce my name as: A Meal).
Can you pitch up the 1st kick to a 3rd or 5th of the bass note? And then do the EQ? And, is sidechaine comp basically a more intense version of this? It never dawned on me to clean the kicks sub! Much appreciated! :D
My kicks are always Loud in the mix, as in over powering or too clicky. And if I lower it then everything else becomes louder. Any idea how to make the kick in a way so its punchy with nice low end but not overpowering the overall track? Thank you so much in advance
@@artbluevibe6629 I misread your comment. If the kick is overpowering because you have to turn it up, using sidechain compression might work to give it space. Look at sidechaining tutorials
Following along with you video, i intially cut the low freqs from the kick but it didn't sound right. So i swapped it, took the filter off the kick and filtered the freqs in question from the bass line and it sounded much better to me. Now im a rookie so i have to ask, is the way i did not a good idea?
yes! In fact I did a video on it. Definitely a valid technique when it comes to making room for the kick, however it can sometimes feel like a bandaid over a underlying mixing issue.
You Suck at Producing ok thanks mate. Sorry only watched a few of your videos yet. So it is common to use both techniques or It just depends on the samples and so on the hertz used?
Great vid! Thanks, hilarious psycho producer. So how do you choose which one to cut the sub from - is it for technical reasons or aesthetic ones? E.g. would you EQ the sub to let the bass through because the bass has strong melody and character (aesthetic reason)?
hey underbelly, I watched this video, your side chain compression video, and your warmth video but my bass/kick combo just isn't swaggy enough. Should I sign up for private lessons or is there a simpler solution?
Great and funny lesson. Love your content, I’m leaning so much. Note- there does seem to be some static or fuzz and high frequencies on your voice in this video. Might be good to try to adjust.
ive been using ableton for about 6 years now and learnt everything i know from youtube tutorials. most of them are boring af or i have to continually take the video back to rewatch things cos i have adhd and just drift the fuck off. also so many are full of unimportant garbage or the person talking bout how sweet they are. ive watched most of yr channel today + ive learnt so many things hidden in plain sight or i just never thought about or bothered to look up cos yr vids are short, entertaining, funny and just work so fkn well for me. anyways jus wan say thanks! wowsers yr amazing okee so check it xoxoxo

My girlfriend left me because I couldn't mix my kick with her bass well
did you thrust in the right frequency?
he didnt have enough depth in the mix
*dick *ass
sooo, sooo funny! Write it one more time Please!! :|
I think there was some phase cancellation going on in your relationship.
Watching this in 2020 and the beginning of the video got me like, wowzers, good thing this is a 2017 video and Underbelly does not have the corona.
i thought EXACTLY the same thing xD
Same here damm
Corona is a scamdemic.
Thank you,, I was getting tired of sidechain relationships 😂
This is like the best kick and bass mixing tutorial out there. Underbelly really made it understandable.
This guy is crazy
damn right
you are by far the best ableton youtuber out there, thank you for your hilarious content
I love the teaching through metaphors.
Makes learning more enjoyable and entertaining!
Why am I learning 10x better from somebody patronizing the hell out of me? Kudos.

"Just Thrusting Away" by R. Kelly (2018)
Damn
I laughed and jizzed at the same time. I'm concerned and subbing for good measure.
damn that's hot
Does metro trust u?
nah
rip
😂
I am forever waiting for the "annddd wowzers" and I wasn't disappointed, that kick is a fucking war crime
JUST AS I REALIZE THIS PROBLEM YOU COME TO THE RESCUE CHEERS BROTHER LOVE THE STUFF
this guy is the bigmoneysalvia of music production tutorials! top notch etiquette sir!
I think this is obscure and hilarious reference hahah
That false start with the coughing had me in stitches 😂
bro this is solid gold comedy right here
"Sex. It's not for you."
Finally a producing tutorial for asexual people
Once again, super helpful and absolutely hilarious at the same time! Thank you
hey thanks for watching
your approach is so good I find it so much easier learning from your vids than anyone elses. #iamanautist
I think because all this isn't fun to do, especially to learn, and fooling around makes it least not boring to the very death. This guy is awesome.
This is amazing. You're hilariously on point. Thank you.
wait how do you know which one should be placed where? is that just personal preference?
this is peak comedy and also peak teaching
You're legitimately such a fucking lad
thanks lad. fancy a cheeky nandos with the boys?
that intro has aged just like fine wine
So by rolling off sub frequencies in the kick you don't have to sidechain them?
No, you still need to eq. Sidechain doesn't remove frequencies it make one instrument quiter when other plays at the same time (i.e. kick and bass), you can make that unnoticable or have that "pumping" effect from dance music
i fucking love this guy. so much information in a hilarious manor. laughter makes for the best education !
That cough at the beginning was very appropriate for current times
Your channel should have a gazillion subs. Really good content. Reminded me of the now defunct Yeah Dubz.
i was also using ekali gemini kick a lot and it is one of my most trusted kicks ;d nice to se you have the same opinon ;)
We're gonna introduce this new kick we just met on Tinder 😂
Mother: What are you watching?
Me: I'm learning how to produce MOM! and also learning life lessons
tell your mother to be proud of you
best producing tutorials ever! :D
Should the bassline still be side chained to the kick or does this technique eliminate the need to side chain the bassline to the kick?
Wow, I can’t believe allows for this smut filthy language.
using non linear phase eq for lowcut introduce harmonic distortion and phase issues
a good technique for mixing kick an bass is to use sidechain eq
You remember me my German teacher "Petra".
She humiliated all the students but she's the best.
We learned.
This is the best tutorial series ive ever seen on youtube :')
pretty swaggin
dude
2:35 What if I'm not getting anything in the bedroom?
that makes the two of us
dude when you started making those noises to your beat i fucking died
I love this series
This tutorial was very helpful and very funny, thanks brother!
When is your next morning brew video coming?!
next week.
@You Suck at Producing Are you doing this on all your tracks? What about applying this method to techno music? Would be nice to see video where you mixing techno bass and kick ...
Hey can you please share What bass was this, from what vst please
Your incredible, I love your sense of humor and this video was very helpful.
thanks nether
I fucking love your humour bro "lets just neuter the kick thats just thrusting in our faces"
What do you think about pitch shifting the kick instead of eqing it?
Omg. I'm laughing out so loud while watching u man🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi Underbelly, I like your sarcastically and cynical humor alongside these videos. Keep up the good work! Best regards, Emiel (you can pronounce my name as: A Meal).
Oh i missed u ! !
i missed u 2 bb
Can you pitch up the 1st kick to a 3rd or 5th of the bass note? And then do the EQ? And, is sidechaine comp basically a more intense version of this? It never dawned on me to clean the kicks sub! Much appreciated! :D
Is there any way to download the sounds he uses here?
Make a video on remix competitions if possible, nice video tho.
thanks mayne ill consider dat
so the kick we reduce the frequency, but for the bass we leave at 55 Hz ?
I wonder why there's no ads
Well, how about "just rubbing" type of kick and bass?
Loved this and I learned something
brutal. I would love to know where all you hacks get your confidence.
My kicks are always Loud in the mix, as in over powering or too clicky. And if I lower it then everything else becomes louder. Any idea how to make the kick in a way so its punchy with nice low end but not overpowering the overall track? Thank you so much in advance
Sidechaining apparently
@@onetwo6806 you mean other tracks to the kick? I do that, That way the kick will still be powerful as I mentioned
@@artbluevibe6629 I misread your comment. If the kick is overpowering because you have to turn it up, using sidechain compression might work to give it space. Look at sidechaining tutorials
@@onetwo6806 or I think my other tracks aren't as powerful, so that way the kick sticks out. Its a balance game
Following along with you video, i intially cut the low freqs from the kick but it didn't sound right. So i swapped it, took the filter off the kick and filtered the freqs in question from the bass line and it sounded much better to me. Now im a rookie so i have to ask, is the way i did not a good idea?
What's the reasoning beside mixing this way instead of just sidechaining? Or would you do both?
You are cutting the kick even when the bass is not sounding at the same time. Sidechain/automate that filter
Ever heard of sidechain?
yes! In fact I did a video on it. Definitely a valid technique when it comes to making room for the kick, however it can sometimes feel like a bandaid over a underlying mixing issue.
You Suck at Producing ok thanks mate. Sorry only watched a few of your videos yet. So it is common to use both techniques or It just depends on the samples and so on the hertz used?
yeah really depends on the case.
Yeah, I'd sidechain + Eq. But it's whatever makes it sound better, so no right or wrong way.
I think a sidechain and a low shelf on the bass should have worked better here
"because ... look at you ..." LMAO ! BUTT I learned something today, so thanks !
I come to underbelly to feel personally attacked, learn things, and laugh. Always delivers 🤍 edit: wowsers.
"But thats something you dont have to worry about 😂 Because i mean, look at you" 😂😂😂😂😂😂💯💯

hey Underbelly friggin love ya dawg great moves
thanks andy
"Chode-like overtone." Hahahaha
lol u crack me up so much with your analogies
Great vid! Thanks, hilarious psycho producer. So how do you choose which one to cut the sub from - is it for technical reasons or aesthetic ones? E.g. would you EQ the sub to let the bass through because the bass has strong melody and character (aesthetic reason)?
aesthetic reason. All about the dynamic between the kick and the bass and which you think plays a stronger role in the track.
Cheers!
You had kept the utility's signal listen on 'right' in the kick track... Was that on purpose?? If yes, then why??
Dhruv Sharma it is to make sure the kick is in true mono.
It basically takes the right signal of the kick only and doubles it to the left as well
@@martinhensel8737 isn't the left signal supposed to true mono?
What about spoon position?
what phenotype is this
5 seconds in i'm already laughing my little ass off and had to thumbs up
