Part 30 of 31 – Looking for a more consistent, upfront, bass response in your mix? Or perhaps you simply don’t have enough low end at all? A multiband compressor can help.
Compress Just The Low End
With the power of a multiband compressor, you can easily process only the bottom end of your mix, giving you a more even response, tighter bass, and over all fatter sound. It’s a great tool, especially if EQ alone isn’t cutting it.

Hi Graham, hi everyone.
Do you put your multiband compressor after the “glue” compressor on the mix buss?
-3db of GR then -3db again
It’s a lot of compression, isn’t it?
We could imagine a 2-bands compressor with 20-100Hz and 100Hz-20kHz bands, which could replace the two distinct compressor.
What do you think?
Once again, excuse my english 🙂

Yes, this is usually at the end of my mix buss, so after the “glue” compressor. If it sounds good I go with it!
Hi Graham
thanks for every little detail in all your videos
you have made of me a better mixer!! 😉
Good video Graham, be sure to add all the videos here!
Nice. Just curious what the attack/release times were for the low band you were compressing?
Hi Dan, I honestly don’t remember. I just left them at the default setting.
This tutorial helped me to have a more shaped bass , everything I did just added muddiness and I was too scared of using a multi band compressor 🙂 Thanks Graham, best teacher ever.
Glad it helped!
