even a lot of DAW functionality people struggle with until they know the term for what they are asking about.
If not sure what those keywords are, don't be afraid to ask. Perfect bass timbre absolutely CANNOT be achieved without 5 Harmors all layered to individual frequencies, with a couple Fruity Parametric EQ 2s and Fruity Choruses and Waveshapers all pounding back on each other. Each of those is its own topic, but he briefly explains them and demonstrates the 'why.' There are a truckload of tutorials out there, so very specific keywords in your searching will help you find things. Salivating, you think back to the years of your life lost, watching every single one of SeamlessRs How To Bass Videos. Compression is almost its own topic and a bit more complex, but definitely something to learn the ins and outs of.ĮQ is another topic to understand, and this video I tend to recommend most just because of the information/explanation crammed into 10 minutes (mirror EQ, audio microscope, frequency masking, etc.). Any 'compressor' that goes to a ratio of 10:1 or more is technically a limiter, but the one to protect your (g)ear(s) is strictly set to limit with a threshold high enough not to engage during normal mixing (i.e., it shouldn't function at all unless for protection). I didn't check out what the Fruity Limiter is until now and that is not strictly a limiter and has other functionality to it.
+1, the 'struggling with mixing' part slipped by, so John's comments are definitely good ones.
