This is by far the most clear explanation of glue compression / pultec eq ing and saturation for low end while seeing the results clearly on your screen.
you're actually my favourite youtuber at the moment - you're so good at what you do and the videos are incredible. SO useful! I would love to see you cover some other genres like minimal drum and bass, I would love to see what sort of stuff you could do!
Hey absolutely love your channel, just wondered if you ever thought about doing a series along the lines of making a full track from scratch? Like several different episodes of different stages of making a full track from start to finish? I think it would be really cool to see :) also wondered if you have or do any pigments tutorials as I noticed you use it in a lot of your videos? Thanks keep up the great work
Quick question: Would I be able to do this with something like NI Solid EQ. It has pretty much the same function but I’m not sure if there’s a different algorithm involved. My thoughts: This video has been recommended to me 3 times and now and each time I didn’t bother watching because these “secret sauce” videos usually all teach the same basic tricks. I knew the tip of the VC compressor, but the tip with the Pultec EQ is genius. Up until this point I’ve pretty much only used my Pultec EQ for added character in drums and vocals. I never imagined to Attenuate and Boost at the same time. This is genuinely a great trick, with technical knowledge involved. This is the kind of thing I’d expect to learn in a pro course. Thank you Yalcin!
Yalcin, as usual, super helpful !! Thank you. Quick question - Is it more beneficial to have the chain on master bus? Reason I ask is because your chain seem to have the blackbox on it, won't it affect all frequencies if placed on master ?
Super interesting. I found the FX off to have a more punchy kick, but the FX on (with Arturia VCA and pultek emulation, that is, less dynamic range) to have a fuller sound with greater emphasis on the rolling bass. The punch of the kick was lost some (especially the thump), but the rolling bass was more foregrounded. It’s a tough aesthetic choice, I think! I guess it all depends on what’s going on outside the low end, and whether or not you need a bigger overall bass presence or a punchier kick I suppose. Thanks for this video! Your quality is very high and the A/B tests are absolutely wonderful.
i have a question. Would you consider using a multiband compressor in this case a better option? Since you can really control the low end in seperated way. Especially in our genre, natural sounding is relatively irrelevant.
This is similar to a technique I picked up off another mastering engineer, who used a serial compression technique, using a FET --> VCA compressor, and I typically will saturate it with Decapitator before heading into the dual compressors. the sound result is similar, with a little more warmth and body than what I was hearing there. This is interesting, and something I'll look at, using a single compressor and pulteq instead, as it's similar to a second compressor.
@@paddy9066 kind of, but different depending on what I wan the bass to do. Like if I want it more bouncy, I'll set the attack faster on the 2nd compressor, if I want it warmer, I'll have both on slow attack so that the effect is more rounded. It just depends on the track.
this video shows how many people actually want to learn about the music. 5.4k views and 49 comments :DDD Thank you for teaching me Yalcin. I really appreciate this
@@No-to4kd you mean it can be both according to our work flow or it HAS to be on both? I ve tried it on a bass group and worked like a charm. I also tried on the master bus without having it on the bass group but result wasn t has good...
@@siegfriedmasson2466 i meant it can work on one or both, in different situations. if you're boosting e.g. 3 db on your bass group, you can try reducing that to 1.5 and adding another 1.5 on the master bus
Tried this on a group with my kick + sub grouped, seemed to really improve my low end. Is this the correct way to buss it? Couldnt tell if you had it on the master or a group with kick/sub.... looks like a few others asking as well. Thx!
great video, I usually have my drums and bass in different groups. Could I group both together (drum group and bass group) then apply these techniques at the end of the chain ?
I believe the idea of this technique is just low end together...Kick Bass and low percs like toms..the other drums like hats claps ect. In a different group.
You're not changing any of the dynamics of the sound sources, just making them quieter. As he mentioned in the beginning of the video, he wants to smooth out some of the dynamics on the low-low end. I assume you would use this technique after mixing the kick and bass.
Good question! I suppose this is ultimately compressing the kick, and trading some off it’s punch for more presence in the rolling bass. If the kick was lowered, you would also lose some of its transient. This method keeps the transient at the same volume level (the click), but combines together the kick and rolling bass low end (all below around 150hz). Perhaps you could compensate after lowering the kick with a transient shaper to boost the transient. But I guess a transient shaper is essentially a compressor in disguise? Anyway, with this method you get a good kick transient with a lot of rolling bass. I would be curious to see this approach with some more aggressive sidechained frequency specific ducking on the rolling bass with the kick.
You fast talking just makes two things. 1. many not even understanding what you say. 2 me personally the information... which is good by the way... can not sink in and i have to go somewhere else! Thanks😊
Cool ! Mais s’il faut dépenser des fortunes en logiciels pas cool ! Déjà avec ableton live 11 et komplete de native et des indispensables comme diva y’a de quoi faire et en cherchant bien créer des racks pour sculpter les sons! Après à moins d’être en studio pro avec des enceintes de ouf la réalité des homes studios fera que les sub Bass etc tu les entendras même pas… Bref y’a un côté déballage matos et propagande comme dans pas mal de trucs du même genre ici…
If Alice had a follower for every useful trick she's shown us she'd be running youtube's biggest channel. Legend!

probably my favourite one of your videos so far. thanks
youre legend, No one ever explained the pulltec trick like you did
This turned my Big Mac into a double quarter pounder with cheese
The techno Gods bless the day this man decided to hop on TH-cam

Some of the best content I’ve found out there. Please don’t stop!
Best kick and bass tutorial ever! cheers bro :)
Glad you liked it!
What I love about this is that you show how to do all these in Ableton w/o having to get all the VSTs. KUDOS.
Nice to go the extra mile and explain your whole kick/bass mix chain. I like to use a tape-emu for saturation!
FANTASTIC TUTORIAL!!!
0:01 already loving this video
Best channel on mixing bro
Makes such a difference
Hey Biskuwi,
Nice Clip! Like always...
Thanks 4 the Driving Project!!❤ ..
Excellent video, are you putting this chains in a low end bus or in the mastering process in your tracks? thank you!
grouped low end (kick n bass) pretty sure
You are the only channel that really shows the secret
that sounds sick. I wondered why you did not use a multiband to select the low end for compression before the pultec eq ?

Great 😃👍👍 tutorial. Thanks
Excellent Yalcin !
so helpful, right amount of explanation and super practical examples, another great video!
Those visualizations are killer. I can learn a lot from your videos. Keep going!💪
Brilliant 🤩 finally deep and clear explanation, thanks 🙏
Glad it was helpful! 😊🎶
This is gold! Didn't know you could imitate a pultec eq so easily. Thx
Hi Biskuwi, this video is actually gamechanger, thank u so much 🙏
amazing as usual! and even showing 3 different ways ! THANKS
Did you split frequencies and use compression on the lower frequencies separately? I didn't get that.
me too
this trick is insane
AMAZIN SAUCE!!!

I haven't subscribed to any YT channel this quick!
Aww welcome to the club! 🎉🎶
Such great teaching! Thank you!
Thank you man!! Just thank you!!
brilliant
Thanks so much for your awesome tutorials!
I really enjoy your vids much love and respect from South Africa
Thank you so much for all your work ! Always clear and usefull
Everyone loves your video
i have a question.
Would you consider using a multiband compressor in this case a better option? Since you can really control the low end in seperated way. Especially in our genre, natural sounding is relatively irrelevant.
I was wondering how could you get similar results with just ableton effects.
Dude just apply the technicue and i was WOW AMAZING, thanks dude you are going str8 to paradice :)
THANKS!!!!!
precious content bro! your amazing
do you put these Plug ins on the Master Channel? Or do you use an extra bus for Kick and bass? Thank you for your answer!
This is gold!
your channel is a treasure)
tnx mate that was rly helpful.
Gimme that knowledge. Bros a certified beauty
Great stuff!
Just bought you Vital preset pack, heard that Arjuna Summer preset and was sold!
Hope it brings you tons of inspiration 😊
This isn't Even His FINAL FORM ..lol
Keep smashing them Yalcin
beautifully explained..! i use a similar approach too.

Is that similar settings for each compressor ? O

Thank you Yalcin, again!
WHAT is Mercurial Tones ACADEMY??? Is something coming?
amazing to watch you grow as a channel
Legend
Best video about low end in youtube, Just a question, Waves compressors or Arturia? any opinion its well received
this video shows how many people actually want to learn about the music. 5.4k views and 49 comments :DDD Thank you for teaching me Yalcin. I really appreciate this
Is it Asterism by underbelly in the background at the begiining? lovin- it
Its more a taste thing. At least in this example in a well treated room I do like the non processed result better.
The human gold mine is back
I love you Yalcin Efe!
nice vid. But man these two eq / compressor are expensive ! Anyone here uses something cheaper ?
MASTER!!!
You amazing!) Thank you
I wish I knew this tip earlier 🙏🏽
this is so good content
I didn't get anything from this video. Where should I start around this topic?
Legend! 🔥
That s a silly question, but do you apply the pultec on the master bus or you group your low ends and apply parallele compression?
both
@@No-to4kd you mean it can be both according to our work flow or it HAS to be on both? I ve tried it on a bass group and worked like a charm. I also tried on the master bus without having it on the bass group but result wasn t has good...

Hej!
Är det så att du har kurser eller likande på svenska? Var kan jag maila dig i så fall?
You are simply fantastic. What a tip, holy shit.
Do you have a go to set of headphones to produce? Looking to get a new pair
very nice intro hihihihih
Channel eq is a linear eq?
Tried this on a group with my kick + sub grouped, seemed to really improve my low end. Is this the correct way to buss it? Couldnt tell if you had it on the master or a group with kick/sub.... looks like a few others asking as well. Thx!
Great free Pultec EQ. Rare by Analog Obsession.
Thanks as always!
great video, I usually have my drums and bass in different groups. Could I group both together (drum group and bass group) then apply these techniques at the end of the chain ?
I believe the idea of this technique is just low end together...Kick Bass and low percs like toms..the other drums like hats claps ect. In a different group.
Why my low end always sound mint, evenly loud, clear and pronounced notes
But the mods to high are always a mush
That melody that is automated from 02:47m 😑💥💥💥💥💥😐😐😐😩😩Where can i get a full version of the song by any chance?
Nice :)
first video i've ever turned to 0.75 . that says a lot
What would the difference be if you just mixed the kick to be a lower volume instead of compressing the kick and bass together?

hmmm ... I actually liked without more this time
Sweeetttt!!!

Is there such thing as too much sub?
Yes
Fuck I need Ableton Live 11 to open it :'(
Glue compressor is ugly but sounds awesome lmao

I don't understand anything that you are saying, and I don't hear the difference 😂😂😂
dunno about the nail polish tho bro
dunno if he cares tho bro
