Managing excess bass / low end from Rytm Mk2

Never had a problem.
Nothing that can’t be sorted out with proper internal mixing, or it’s own HPF.
Easy to tame with the compressor as well thanks to the fast attack and switchable SC settings, not to mention it’s p-lockable.

Ample tools onboard to get a good mix.

Sorry, I thought I’d read that but don’t take my internet-word for it. I might have mixed up with what I indeed have read about the A4 having had work on its low end in the mk2. Might be true or not for Rytm, sorry for maybe mixing them up.

This is a good tip to read. There’s many things to take into consideration - so even though you should always follow your ears, these kind of quantified tips help a lot!

On another note, méga noob question: Is there anything against running the Rytm through my mixer, and cutting the Low EQ a little bit there? I can simply run the Rytm back in OT via a Subgroup of the mixer. Or would you people advise for learning how to fix it with soundsculting in the Rytm?

I feel like I’ll take some more time before plocking the Compressor, but cool to know that will again give another layer of low end / transient control.

You kidding? :wink:

Running instruments through mixers for eq’ing has been the standard practice for a very long time :smile:

Do both. No harm in making things sound as good as possible in Rytm first, then fine tuning things via a mixer if you have one :slight_smile: Tho I wouldn’t advise buying one just for that purpose.

you could use up a channel on the OT to process the kick separately. Something I’ve just done - I put it through a Boss overdrive pedal and into the OT for eq and filtering there. Lovely.
Sample/resample for ever…

This is perfect y’all!

And no @dtr ofcourse I had an idea but I wasn’t completely kidding haha! Maybe it had a downside or something:) I only know what I know lol, haven’t had any background or friends in electronic music so I’m finding out as I go:)

Yeah I’m back and forth with that one, but I kinda like the Rytm compressor more then the OT comp, so running the kick separate would remove that from the comp in the Rytm. Currently I run the kick separate into an OT track just for full wet reverb on the kick, to have at least some dedicated control on that part of low end!

Say what??? No wonder you’re having trouble managing the low end. Is this for a special effect or something?

No I mean I run the normal kick via Rytm main.

But if I use the normal Rytm reverb on the kick I can’t fine tune it, cause I have that reverb more set up for higher frequencies reverbs (hats and clap).

So I then I ran the kick into the OT, on its own thru chanel, with a dedicated reverb for the kick to fine tune it to its needs. But then I lost the kick in the Rytm comp (I assume).

So now I run the kick-out into the OT, set it to full wet reverb; and lower the amp volume:) So I have the reverb for the kick on its own channel, with specific reverb filtering for the kick etc. But just as softly in level as otherwise.

You get what I mean?

Aha, gotcha. Personally, I never add verb to kicks but I’m not sure what’s done in different genres.

Oh i m happy to do it, usually cutting the low on it, but there are exceptions, especially with the weirder reverb/delay types on my H9 and Space pedals.

Ah you do cut the low? I’ve been cutting the high but not the low. Will have a look/try

Yeah definitely people use it in the techno I listen to - albeit a bit more successful :wink:

It’s been a while since I had the mki so can’t recall what settings but all I remember was using the hpf to boost the lows to give the kicks that boomy sub bass because it was essentially disappearing as the tun went down. Wasn’t trying anything out of the ordinary, just say 50-60hz kick for example. I found it too fiddly and a bit vibe killing so I replaced it with Tanzbar Lite and Tanzmaus.

I meant i usually cut the low on my reverb and delay return channels, to not muddy the mix.

But if any of my instrument channels is too boomy (or too light) in the lows a quick fix i use is the channel EQ on my mixer. Sure.

Use NS-10’s

I tend to eq out alot of low-mid energy (200-800hz) to remove mud when using the rytm, when using the stereo out configuration.
