One way to reduce the mud is by identifying audio tracks that are emitting bass information when they shouldn't be. This can be more obvious around 100-350Hz. The lack of clarity is generated when more than one audio source is trying to occupy a certain frequency range. It's actually very easy to clean up the mud during the mix stage. It's a frustrating problem that many producers come across. The 'mud' in a mix is when there is a lack of clarity in the sounds. Reducing the attack of the kick is best achieved using either a compressor or a transient shaping plugin (such as SPL Transient Designer) you can copy the settings I have dialled in below and tweak to your taste. This will give your long bass notes space to be the prominent feature in your mix. Similarly to adding a fade as discussed earlier you can compress a kick to lower the level of the tail. We can achieve both of these characteristics by compressing the kick in different ways. By reducing the attack of the kick we give space to the bite of a punchy bass.

Alternatively, If your bass is playing short stabbing notes you may want to control the attack of the kick.

This will free up that space for your long bass notes. If you have long bass notes you may want to reduce the tail length of your kick. How you do this will depend on your source material. You may want to have the bass dominating over the kick. Below you can see how IвЂ™ve used a multi-band compressor to select only the lowest bass note to duck it out of the way of the kick. If you have a bass synth that has a lot of detail in the mid and high frequencies then you may only want to reduce the conflicting frequencies. Kick dominanceДЇor the kick to stand out, the low frequencies in the bass need to вЂduckвЂ™ out of the way of the kick. In most scenarios, one must give space to the other. For that reason, it is important to choose which element is more important to your music, the kick or the bass. Overlapping low frequencies make a track sound muddy andВ use up valuable headroom. This is a small amount of physical spaceВ compared to mid and high frequencies that have a range of thousands of hertz. The low end spectrum only covers about 250Hz. If your original bass sound has weak low end energy, a low end EQ boost will only get you so far.

Much like the kick, its better to have a full and deep sounding bass that you can cut and sculpt to your taste. ~Hold shift and click around the area shown in the picture to make a point.The genre and vibe of your track will be factors to consider when choosing your bass sounds. From the pop up menu mark an X by clicking on 'Shift (full range)'

So on your track click on the 'env' button. We'll automate our sample so that it's pitch can decrease slowly.

~So we want our sample to fade out, to do this, pull the fader at the end of your sample inwards It also has to fade out slowly, AND it can't be TOO loud. IMO, it is not a sub drop unless it has a fast attack, but it's up to you. ~Sub drops can either have a 'mid-speed' attack or a fast attack. ~Now that you recorded your Sub-Drop, we can go ahead and remove the 'tone generator' from our FX chain. ~Arm your track to record and record as long as you want your Sub-Drop to be. How Do I Do This? click on the button that says 'in', then from the pop up menu select 'Record: output', then select 'Record: output (stereo)' ~Next set your track to record its output instead of the input. The sample I posted in my recording above, I set the note as A. If you want your sub drop to be even better the note should be set to whatever note your bass guitar is playing at the time the Sub-Drop starts(If your not using a bass guitar, simply set it to whatever note the guitar is playing when the Sub-Drop comes in). In the sample I created and posted above I used 63Hz. The base frequency can be anywhere from 40 to 70 Hz. ~In the FX list, under the 'JS' plugins (included with Reaper), search for 'Tone Generator'.
