Production Techniques • [Video] Mixing Low Frequencies: Why Bass Should Be in Mono

Hey everyone,

We just dropped a new video on our YouTube channel discussing why bass should be in mono for a tighter, more controlled mix. If you've ever had issues with a muddy low end or weak bass, this might help clarify what's going on.

In this video, we cover:

• Why low frequencies should be centered in a mix

• How stereo bass can cause phase and clarity issues

• Using tools like Nugen Audio's Monofilter and iZotope's Ozone Imager to keep things in check

Would love to hear your thoughts—how do you approach low-end mixing? Do you keep bass in mono, or do you experiment with stereo widening? Let’s discuss!
