It’s funny, if you soloed the bass on a lot of my tracks, you might think it sounded distorted and over saturated, but in the mix, those are the exact things that allow the bass to cut through. You have to find a happy medium, and the bx_subsynth is pretty amazing at that. The bx_subsynth gives you a really clean, driving kick and bass tone that’s not distracting to the overall mix - and you can even focus it only on the middle channel without affecting the left and right sides of your mix - but it still adds a lot of beef.īass is tricky especially with hip-hop, you want a lot of bass in there, but at the same time you don’t want it to eat up the whole track, or the whole stereo field. For low-end, I love the bx_Subsynth Subharmonic Synthesizer by Brainworx, which is great at adding low-end to kick drums if there’s no actual 808 there or a natural sub creator. The low-end is really impressive on your records: meaty, gritty and subby, but very much part of the overall mix, and never swallowing the instruments. We caught up with Bell just as Post Malone’s second album, the 18-song epic Beerbongs & Bentleys, was owning the Billboard charts, with the instantly likeable “Psycho,” sitting right at - where else? - #1. Tasked with capturing and processing his vocals, along with production and co-writing, is 36-year-old Boston native Louis Bell, whose own string of successes - among them DJ Snake’s massive 2016 hit “Let Me Love You,” and Camila Cabello’s crossover hit “Havana”- reveal a savvy, well-informed producer, able to get feet tapping and heads nodding without sacrificing a nuanced, layered approach to sonics.
Part of Malone’s magic is that, along with an effortlessly laid-back rapping style, he can really sing and play. Hip-hop artists tend to be big personalities, and few are bigger or more buzzed-about than 23-year-old Austin Post, aka Post Malone - the wily, smack-talkin’, weed-smokin’ young firebrand whose #1 hits “Congratulations” and “Rockstar” have turned the worlds of both pop and hip-hop on their collective heads.
