ADSR tuts are usually for sound design. Really learned how to use sylenthfrom them!

I use parallel compression to usually fatten a sound. I have an aux send of the same signal thats heavily compressed then slowly mix it in

I just put very small amount of wetness only 2 percent so far it works well in glue things together

Sound Design / Re: Dealing with "emptiness"

Layer! Even very thin layers with low volume combined together can fill the emptiness

What helps me is if i cannot create a great drop but i have a good verse is that i wait awhile. Then i try again but sometimes i try the drop in another key then transpose it back. Also if i cant find anything in the key i try using modes.

I personally use a Subpac to mix my low end with Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones. I used to have a subwoofer as part of my set up but that just caused a lot of issues from poor room acoustics. Your 8" monitors may be too large for your room as well since they have a frequency response down to 35 Hz. (I use 5" monitors since I'm in a small room).

For the kick/bass relationship, tuning your kick to the key of the track will help clear up a lot of things. I also tend to keep my kick short, so I don't have two big sub elements fighting for space.

You have a subpac? How are they? Planning on getting one myself

Using a dedicated sub to play under 100-120 hz will clean up your low end a lot. Eq'ing your leads and chords properly so the mid-bass can sit between the sub and leads/chords is super important too!

I've been wondering about this a lot with my recent productions....is this the general school of thought? I find that it's definitely easier to control low-end dynamics when I have just my simple sine or triangle wave cutoff around 100hz and nothing else but the kick is allowed down there, and then the energy of the "bass" in the track comes from a mid-bass around 100-500hz which has the sub either cut out of it or didnt exist originally.

Is this how most people do their bass or is there some merit to the alternative: having just one bass patch that has a sub oscillator carrying the low end?

What i usually do is the other way around haha the sub bass is the only one allowed below 60-70hz then the kick is the next then the mid bass. mixed well it sounds amazing

You would never guess by my productions but im using Rokit 8's

great speakers! thats why you cannot really hear the 25 to 50 hz, Monitor speakers alone do not have below 50 hz in their frequency range. Would you have headphones to try and mix the very low frequencies?

often times my low end bass sits at around 25-50hz, pretty low. at that frequency it can come across being quiet. How do i make a frequency this low be known in the mix without being overwhelming?

Its usually quiet. its a sub bass so when layered with the agressive higher bass it will sound as one. Btw what are you using for mixing? speakers or headphones?
