    section & kingsteven don't know shit about bass, or mixing it properly apparently.

    Trust me, high passing your tracks and especially the inaudible rumble around 15-20hz is good. Each track in this mix was HPF'd - INCLUDING the 808 kicks.

    These days I don't HPF as much as I used to on the mix bus - but I do the "dip and boost" trick on the Pultec EQ (uad version), where you cut around 20-30hz while simultaneously boosting. Tightens up the low-end on master busses properly!

    As with anything, do it to taste & consider the nature of the track, but this is what works for me.
