"Cut everything below 30hz for more headroom"

[sunny_b_uk]

id do it on every track i can tbh, but sometimes i forget to do it on certain sounds if i cant b bothered.

30hz is a little high IMO.
I like to hit a low B every once in a while...
Obviously it's sounds turrible if your song is based around B but like writing in E minor that low C and B playing for just a split second can add something cool.
I think 20hz is the way to go.

i dont know about brickwalling below 30.. my 10" subs hit 25hz pretty audibly and i love the sound of low bass. but thats just me.

i totally agree, c and b are very decent sounds with any respectable system

Hitting a low b before the sub cuts out...

Personally i'd say its better to treat each and every track separately. The reason being that its generally better to have lots of plugins doing a small amount as opposed to one plugin on the master doing everything.

With things like hi hats, cymbals etc, they can be high passed much higher than a snare drum or mid bass patch. These things should really have zero sub bass content. I also usually high pass the reverb, as reverb doesn't work with bass too well.

Below 100hz should ideally be mostly clutter free so that the sub and kick drum have plenty of room. A sub is often just a sine, and as such will have no low frequency content below its fundamental. And a lot of people roll off a kick drum to get it to fit with the sub. So doing it this way, there shouldn't really be anything below 30.

This is what i think on the subject like exaclty... except written better then i could write.
