In this mix breakdown for Victoria Monét's "On My Mama," Teezio dives into his approach to processing the 808 and bass.
He starts with subtle use of Waves R Bass, followed by surgical EQ adjustments with FabFilter Pro-Q3 to remove unnecessary frequencies and maintain the demo's vibe. Teezio employs MV2 for balancing low and high elements, and uses iZotope Neutron and Waves C2 for smooth, transparent compression.
He emphasizes the importance of tackling resonant frequencies to avoid buildup and improve clarity. By layering different bass elements, Teezio adds depth and body, crafting a rich, cohesive low-end that pairs seamlessly with the drums.
