Most of the space in the bass comes down to Downlinks in-depth manipulation of splitting into four.... yes four bands and treating each band independently. Im going to hint that stereo spreaders and choruses were also used.
He made the main 'meat' of the track. I then edited the song into an arrangement, added extra synths, changed the kicks n snares and I did 70% of the mixing.
The key to space on this track is by using a minimalistic approach, we didnt want too much happening at one time, so when a new part of the track in introduced, and older part is dropped out subtly.
You actually wont believe me but the final track with all the band splits and extra single fx, came over 70+ audio/midi tracks NOT including all the bussing

Hi there, im sorry I don't have any questions about your service even though it does sound awesome. Just wondering what you meant by that statement "splitting into four"?
Actually maybe I do have a question about your service. How does this work? DO I just send you my Ableton project file or something? Im a little confused as to what you ACTUALLY are doing to it.
THanks

Splitting the bass into 4 frequency ranges

Interesting, so that means the same bass sound would be on 4 seperate tracks just occupying 4 different frequencies? Thats madness

I do this in 60% of tracks. Its common practice for the midrange-wobble-arsonists.
To answer your question, No i wont take your ableton session as i wont have the same plugins etc... as you. I will either need a stereo bounce with plenty of headroom (-3db or less but no less than say -10), or for a higher donation i will take 4-6 bounced/rendered parts of your tracks, like all the drums, all the synths, all the basses etc.. in individual stereo audio bounces.
Btw, please make these allll the same length, im not going to even try to re-arrange your project for you. Select the whole track, solo parts, bounce em and send em.

Ah ok I understand, thanks for the replies!
Don't have anything worth sending at the moment but the last time I finished a track I did send it to get mastered and told my mixdown sucks bigtime. It was a combination of poor quality monitors and inexperience. It would be interesting to see how you would handle the same situation. Definitely will keep this in mind for the next one I finish up

This might have been answered already but does your offer extend to mixdowns, possibly 5-6 stems or something? I don't have monitors you seeeeeee.
Obviously a bit more money involved.
