How To Mix Kick & 808 (Without Sidechaining)

Описание: In this video, I show you how to mix your 808s and why traditional sidechaining often makes your low end worse, and how to fix kick and 808 clashes without destroying the energy.

We’ll compare sidechain vs non sidechaining, listen to real A/B examples, and go through five methods to make your kick and 808 hit hard together while keeping the 808 full, punchy, and intact.

If you’re mixing hip-hop, trap, drill, or any genre with heavy 808s, this is a much better way to approach low-end balance.
