The compressor filter that stops the low-end pump
Final master pass without the usual second-guessing. Today's lead video is about arriving at the master bus confident you fixed the low end in the mix. Open it for a referencing frame that's more ballpark than copycat.
▶ Finishing the master without the low-end rescue
A full master pass where the low end stays where it was fixed — in the mix. They show the sidechain filter inside the glue compressor so the kick doesn't make the whole bus pump.

▶ Dub delay choices for the moment the drums drop out
Zen Delay's valve drive adds grit without much gain, and its filter can sweep a tail into a transition. The TC 2290 does the A/B push-pull trick but you'll set it once and leave it.
▶ Cut the fundamental, keep the bass: harmonic EQ
The missing-fundamental trick: cut the low note and boost its second and third harmonics, and the brain still hears deep bass. The pitch-tracked bands retune as the note changes, so it's not a static curve.
◢ free & gear
A 20-second EMT tail with a duck that works(free)
The decay runs long but the built-in ducker pulls the tail down while you play, so it doesn't swamp the phrase. TRUE ST gives you a separate engine per channel instead of summing to mono.
Shimmer that waits for you to hold the note(free)
Bloom is the reason to load it: the shimmer swells on sustained input instead of washing constantly. Day and Night flip the pitch of the tail, and Burn adds crunch to the wet only.
◢ the word
▶ The FortyTwo enhancer: phase, not EQ — but check the vendor
Free plugin that claims phase-based low contour and high-end definition without EQ, but the vendor name in the review looks mis-transcribed — verify the actual download before trusting it.
ReBirth's 303s and 808/909s back, bit-accurate
Open-source rebuild that renders byte-for-byte identical to the original ReBirth exports, with the standard drum kit bundled and no need for old install media — but no VST or MIDI support yet.
