Hi guys, I Produce and Compose mainly Rap beats and have had an issue on certain tracks. One track in particular just has too much Low End that is too strong to where it doesn't mask other instruments but it is just too loud.
My solutions to fixing this issue is usually giving it a Limiter to where it doesn't peak up too high and stays where it is.
I EQ and cut everything off below 30-40hz. So Eq'ing isnt the answer and Sometimes I am worried on killing dynamics when compressing/limiting too much. In general is it best to just compress a Kick and 808 every time to control it from peaking too high in the mix? I dont want to lower the fader down too much because then I lose power in the whole mix and it isnt loud enough.
what are some solutions to control that low end? 808/light punchy kick combination? Besides Sidechaining?
I want to control the low end so it doesent sound too loud because that is just starting to get old and looks amateurish as well.
thanks for all the advice!
