After receiving a lot of requests, I finally got around to creating another mix tutorial this time focusing on bass.

This tutorial uses our recent live performance of Hexes at Metropolis Studios as an example. I take a look at Mos' live tone with his Kiesel and also a recording I did with the Warwick FNA (which I used to track Altered State and Polaris).

I have some new ones planned (mixing live drums/sessions, bass guitar and ambience/synth/clean guitar type stuff). I hope to have a new one ready by the end of the year or the start of 2017.

I may also do a video recording with no narration. Just a long video of mixing a song (probably a live mix) from scratch if this is of interest to anyone?

Think of a whistle like sound which masks the vocal sound. Removing or reducing these harmonics helps smooth the sound resulting i...
