Want to make sure your production efforts pack the necessary bass punch? Then make sure your monitors have enough woof.
Keeping your bass in check is an important part of mixing in all genres, but especially so for would-be wobblers. Sub-bass is all the audible stuff under 90hz, so you’ll want monitors that can manage a fair way below that.
Eight inch woofers should be plenty, as a few artists on the latest Rinse CD are known to use monitors with six-nchers. If yours are smaller than that, you’ll want to invest in a separate sub-woofer for under your desk.
W is also for:
Wobble: (i) Automate your LFO rate. (ii) Assign to filter cut-off. (iii) Job done.
