Woh now tgats some nifty and handy techniques!!! Thanks doc! Loving the end credit quips too! Keep up the great work! Please! COMMENTS LOVE HEADING YOUR WAY!!! Have a great week!!! 😎🙏🕊️👼
Recently, I did something similar when mixing my kick drum and bass lines. I wanted them to sound massive, So I separated both from the mix and gave them their own buss. I EQ'ed the low end buss differently and it worked pretty well. I'm not a pro so I'm still work on taming the overall thunder, but I am pleased.
Great tips and very usable. I was "playing along" when you described the problem and my thoughts were Octaver on the bass which is close to tip 1. Second thought pull out the silk kimono and the Moog Taurus and make like Rutherford or Geddy.
Can’t wait to try that bass technique. Ive worked on some stuff that had a lot of busy bass fills. I think I’ve tried every everything EXCEPT this to maintain the low end. Feeling a little embarrassed haha. Thanks for another great video!
I do this on almost anything, often use reaper's reapitch plugin to try a blend of octave below on vocals, back vocals, guitar, bass, thin keys etc.etc. the formant tweak can get it sitting even better. Mostly want it at "notice when i turn it off" subtle level.
Great idea on the bass- just what I need on that neo pop punk tune! 👍🏼 I've already got a nice deep snare sample (and some of your room snare samples plus that rim shot) going, and way too much drums like the Poison record. Plus- I put a separate snare send with a brickwall limiter in parallel just to make sure the snare truly is twice as loud as anything else😅 and a ton of gated reverb.
you definitely improved the low end punch with those techniques.. good tricks for future reference.. this I assume was something you thought of.. but maybe not.. and that is to copy the bass guitar parts with a bass synth.. and then mix to taste using it sparingly.
Great tip! How did you pitch down the bass without the glitchiness? Sounds super clean but usually when I try it in Pro Tools I have problems with glitchiness
Interesting. Do you know if the Beatles used that Bass trick? Did they ever speed up the tape as fast it could go and record a bass overdub and it would sound thick at normal tape speed?
Just wondering if I could email you or contact you about helping me produce an album and what that would cost . If you are still doing that kind of work?
I can't get enough of jeff lynes production
You and me both!

Excellent! Way to think it through!!

Love Geddy!!
Nice! I will definitely be trying these.👍🙂
Please do!

Go for it!
Absolutely excellent! Thank you so very much!
Excellent information. Going to use it on a song. I’m working on now. Look forward to the next.😀
Nice. Also not unheard of in the 70s to add a Moog bass to give some low end.

Great! 😎
Thanks! 😃
I thought it was going into a modern more straightforward version of Saturday in the Park 😅
It does have those chord changes…Isn’t She Lovely by Stevie Wonder too among others…
Fantastic
Thank you !
Thank you too!
Hi BOOOOOOOOOB!!!! Hope your doing great!!!
You too JAAAAAAAAVV!

Yes that is also a great technique!!!
SSL drum strip has a low end deal that is my favorite low end
are you Dr Robert? lol. good stuff. if in doubt just ask what did the beatles do...the answers are always there.

The bass reminded me a bit of A Trick Of The Tail. Did they use brass on that, in order to fill the low end?
Do you happen to know which strings program Jeff Lynne uses on his solo work in the studio for the times when he isn't using real strings?
That’s a great question and I’ll see if I can find the answer!
When you talk about Jeff and The Beatles I am reminded of the God awful snare sound on Free as a Bird. I mean I love Jeff, but what was he thinking?
Interesting. Do you know if the Beatles used that Bass trick? Did they ever speed up the tape as fast it could go and record a bass overdub and it would sound thick at normal tape speed?
I don’t think the Beatles ever used this trick. It’s just something I do to Beatles type bass parts to give the track a nice low end.
Did you play drums for the kinleys in the early 2000s? I played bass with a friend of yours and opened for you in ciny
Do you have any ride and bell samples hidden in any of these
Just wondering if I could email you or contact you about helping me produce an album and what that would cost . If you are still doing that kind of work?
Well... I didn't like the added snare thing at all; _completely_ changed the snare sound.
Still, as always. thanks for sharing!
Fair enough!
At the end of the day I can’t help but feel Jeff is just a big rip off who forced himself to become friends with the people that he ripped off.
I think you're ruining the great sound of the ELO !
