Table of Bass Frequencies. Here’s an easy way you can remember the basic frequency range of the bass: 40Hz-400Hz-4000Hz. The fundamentals range from about 40 to 400 Hertz; the harmonics go all the way to 4000Hz.

Should I lower the kick or bass?

Traditionally, the kick drum bangs out the lower portion of the low-end while the bass hums along higher. But in recent pop music, largely in techno and drum & bass electronic music, the bass will be the lower of the two. Both options are legit and you’ll need to make this choice first.

How can I make my bass sound better when mixed?

Try saturating the bass in the low mids and above. Because those are the frequencies that are available in those small speakers, the extra “push” of the saturation will help with translation. This way the bass will cut through the mix without having to boost with EQ.

How many Hz is a kick drum?

The frequency range of the bass and drums overlaps in the low frequency range through the low midrange. The attack of the bass is heard between 700 – 1000Hz, while the attack of the kick drum presents information at 3000 to 4000Hz.

What should the EQ be on a kick drum?

Try a boost in the 1500-2500 Hz area too, to add presence to kick drum. While you’re playing with EQ, try boosting 100-250 Hz to add warmth and “round”ness, and cutting 250-800 Hz to remove muddiness. Beware that the 100-250Hz region may also be used by the bass, and by the low registers of other instruments.
