Visualizing Beats with RedMeansRecording

Jeremy dives deep into the wild world of bass and kick dynamics, a zone where novices often flounder. With a house track as his trusty companion, he uses EQ tools to pinpoint the sweet spots for kick and bass. It’s a revelation—different genres mean different bass placements, and thanks to a ‘super steep low pass,’ your EQ becomes a treasure map. Sub frequencies peak around 42.6 Hz at about 11.7 dB. That’s your bass map, folks. Knowing where your kick hits, and how much you should let your bass breathe is key. Jeremy’s got your back with those insights on how sub-bases differ across genres. For him, it’s all about that fundamental kick-bass relationship, the invisible handshake shaping your jam.

Let’s switch gears to a drum and bass track, where the kick and sub-bass engage in a dance of frequencies. Jeremy pulls Dj Science tracks to showcase how bass often sits beneath the kick in drum and bass—contrary to what some might suspect. He notes that while there’s a wild stereo image, things stay mono in the low end, as dictated by genre norms. If your kick holds a softer punch than your bass, you’ve guessed it right—that’s sidechaining wizardry. With visualization, you can literally see the sidechain action, a game’s hidden move that’ll elevate your mix from novice to nod-worthy.

Welcome to the LUFS warzone, where loudness meets finesse. Jeremy navigates you through setting the right LUFS with tools like the Yulian Loudness Meter. Aligning your track’s loudness with reference tracks ensures your mix isn’t the sonic equivalent of a whisper in a noisy bar. Stereo imagery gets its due—seeing how certain frequencies unfold across the stereo field might just blow your mind. Diffusion over monophony, that’s the ticket. It’s a deep dive into stereo details, where a well-loved track wraps around you like your favorite blanket. Unpacking stereo scope myths, Jeremy shows you why stereo info is golden. Get your low end mono and make those higher frequencies fly.

Ever wondered how visual tools translate into real-world beat mastery? Jeremy introduces the Vision 4X with the love drums he holds for drum and bass. This plugin lets you dissect sounds—pinpointing if your snare is snappy enough to belong in a jungle rave. Whether it’s the bass’s pitch drop or the sidechain smears, Vision 4X lets you see it all. Jeremy walks you through using this tool, displaying how elements of the mix like transients and stereos aren’t just heard but are practically drawn for you. Another cool view? Harmonic mixing helps you match the genre’s flavor, perfect for the beat chef wanting to get those house vibes right in the pocket. It’s a neat trick—add these to your toolkit and watch the magic unfold, no crystal ball needed.
