I like stereo bass (300-100hz). It's give the song more beef and the transient kinda get beefier.

This was actually a wonderful video. Watching the difference in perspective on stereo width between engineers is always super interesting. Like how Luca Pretolesi monos all the way to 300ish, his colleague who works in his studio goes down to 80-120ish because of a metal / rock background, and here you're saying somewhere 50ish. Every engineer has their own experiences, background, and a damn good reason when they personally choose how to do what they do and at the end of the day it all comes down to combining personal preference with some kind of ballpark reference and it's always material dependant. Thanks for the insight Streaky :)

go away it depends on the music and I don’t think Luca pretolesi always does it. He even says he mono’s the super highs.... that doesn’t always work either. For minimal arrangement stuff like trap I think it works but for dense stuff I think mono at 300 and mono super high( whatever that means) won’t work and will make a dense track thin. Then again Luca has some serious gear that might just do this stuff in some magical way that sounds great?? Different perspectives are great to learn from

Bass seems so tricky without really good monitoring to me, the hardest part from a mix point of view. There is a plug out there called 'Bassroom' which looks great from the reviews and videos I've seen, would be really interested in your take on it. Got a demo but not sure if it's just fake boosting of the nice frequencies without hearing it in a decent room. Got a few to test playing out, but still feels risky.

Vinyl, was it? 😂 I see a lot of people (especially in the EDM world) swear by the mono the bass ideology because of it is meant to translate better to club/PA systems. Do you find this to be a correct/valid reason or is it a bit misinformed? Also i'm curious..what do you use for controlling the mono/stereo information in the lowend? Just the FF Q3?

Yes House music producer here, you have to mix in mono for dance music, you don't want to show up in a club with phase issues in the bass. The majority of clubs also have a mono sound system, believe it or not, stereo doesn't make much sense for a night club its not like you are gone stand in a prefect triangle listing position when you are at party. Only hearing the vocal or bas on one speaker would be a disaster. On top of that a rockband normally only have one bas player which means its a mono sound. I rather have a tiny mid as he describe in the video then losing bass power. (Also stereo bass sucks lol) That's how I view it anyways, hopefully this was helpful.

I mean isn't bass a mono sound to begin with? Normally In a rockband we got one bass player and one kick drum. In house we have one kick drum and one synth bass. The sound from a bass player comes from one direction. And if you listen to a band on stage they sound more mono then stereo to me since they are staying roughly in the same area, the drummer is siting more or less behind the bas player and the distance from the crowd reduce the stereo image. oh, and then we have the fact that humans have a harder time to tell the direction on bass sounds compered to the mid frequency. Where dose the stereo sound fit in to this? Just keep the kick and bass in phase and your good, That's how I view on it at least.

Should you record bass in mono and do two separate takes to make it like stereo? Or bypass that and just record 1 mono bass track?

Hey Streaky, if you love the fusion to open a bit your masters, why you don’t have it anymore in the studio? Love to hear about that.. thanks for the amazing content! 👏🏻👏🏻

So to clarify you're saying don't put my entire bass track in mono but instead roll it off into mono using an eq so the low mids still have stereo info? Hmmm

Hey Streaky, Some software elliptical filters add gain and EQ bumps to the low end, when mono-ing the low end to account for the loss of forwardness.. Are you adding EQ bumps to the mid or sides? Is this something you do? Sometimes I feel the Low is tighter but can lose punch...

Greetings and good day. I would like to know do drums and bass always need to be mono? Some of my tracks sound really good like that while others seem to sound better with bass and drums in stereo.

What do you make (if anything) of the sheer amount of bass on the sides of Strangers by Sigrid..? I've never seen/heard anything else like it. Seems to work though...

Interesting... Im going to revisit that track in my open backs later. I wonder how this sounds in clubs as opposed to hifi systems giveb that supposedly most club systems are mono. In fact, il drag it into my DAW and mono it later. Good shout 👍

@@homebrewinstrumentals7700 Another interesting one is "I Got You" by Bebe Rexha. If you look at the side information in SPAN you can see in the chorus that the sub information is clearly louder on the sides than it is in mono. I'm sure there's lots of other examples. This idea that pro mixes / masters are all mono below a certain point is absolute shite repeated by people who aren't actually paying attention.

@@kye903 im going to hazard a guess here ... So maybe the 'mono the lows in every project' is just a safeguard that is quite reliable. Obviously, mastering for vinyl is its own beast so i get that with regards to the limitations of the needle. But i suppose that otherwise its just a case of whether the low stereo mix happens to translate well to mono for whatever reason... Im just off to bed but on the flip side im going to load up the sigrid track and see how it holds out in mono 👍

There are plugins that can do that, Ableton's utility have that for example, and mid/side eq will do it to.

Many plugins. One good one is Mongoose by Boz Digital. Really simple to use. If you want to get more fancy there one at Plugin Alliance called BX Digital V3. Mono maker feature on the V3 allows us to choose the frequency we want the spread to start. I use them on the master bus. Both very good and a great time of year to catch sales.

If you use FL Studio, you can do this in maximus. Be sure to turn compression off on each band(including the master band). Then go into the low band and you will find a knob that controls the stereo width for that particular band.
