Stage 4 Mixing & Transitions Course 1 of 5

EQ Mixing and the Bass Swap

Beginner 5 lessons · 54 min

Two kick drums and two bass lines at once is the single commonest reason a mix sounds like mud. The bass swap is the fix, and it is the first transition technique worth drilling properly.

By the end of this course you will be able to

  • Swap the bass from one track to the other without a gap or a lump
  • Use the mid and top to bring a track in before its bass arrives
  • Keep the overall level steady while you are moving EQ around
  • Hear when two bass lines are fighting
