In today's Step By Step Mixing hip-hop series, we'll be covering balancing the kick drum with the 808.
Here's what we'll cover:
- Creating separation between the 808 and kick with EQ
- How to find the dominant frequencies of each low-end instrument
- Where exactly to filter the low end to tighten up the mix and how to use multi-band compression to tame boominess
- How to use artificial low-end enhancers to add more power to your low end
- Why you should check your low-end for translation at the beginning of the mix
