I've problems with my Low End...hehe

Hello!

When recording bass, either bassguitar, or upright bass, or kick drum I can't seem to get a real punch. I use an AKG D112 either at a distance or upclose to the source and it still does not make much of a difference. Often I need to cut a couple clicks off a freq around 120hz to 100 range, and it clears it up a little, but then I loose a lot of the sound.

PreSonus M-80 meters misread low frequencies

Just a note of caution to all M-80 owners, the meters on my M-80 do not read correctly for frequencies below 200 hz. I have noticed this on two other M-80's in our area and I am wondering if they all do this? To test you take a test tone oscillator and feed the M-80 a 1 khz tone at 1 volt, adjust the gain to read 0 db on the M-80.

mixing with Sonar low volume

when i get done mixing something with Sonar 3.. the levels look good, the sound wave levels dont look too loud or soft.. they are about 75-80% at their peeks. but when i mix it all down to a wav, the sound is much too low. how do i fix this. and can i increase the volume on each track by Xdb without it distorting? should i mix with them at their loudest level or what?

best 1k monitors for acccurate low end

Bass is very crucial for my recordings and i've narrowed my monitor search down to the KRK V8's and the Mackie HR624's. These will be used in different studios and environments so a consistent and well translating bass response is needed. Anyone who has had experience with these monitors chime in... :lol:

thanks,

What's up with the Low End on John Mayers Heavier things?

Any one notice the low end distortion on John Mayer's latest CD?
It sounds like it's just the drums & only the Matt Chamberlain tracks.
Chamberlain told me they used a woofer/mic to record the ultra lows
but there's a clipping sound as well it seems.
Listen to "Home Life" especially.
