2 x Tutorials on Bass Processing from Rob now in the Bonus Tutorials (mixing) section. He's looking at how to process Kick Drums in these sessions, focussing initially on the different bands of bass frequencies, sub and bass, and how to EQ them, then moving onto saturation, with a comprehensive look at series, parallel and multiband application.
Join Paul next Thursday (26th Jan) at 18.00 UK time for a member only stream looking at techniques for getting fat bass in your mix when making House & Techno (and most likely other genres too!).

This is all good stuff. Maybe it's time to do an account area refurb!

Huge sound! Really well put together. Great job! Extremely satisfying drops I can see rocking a dancefloor 
Nice one Shugzi! A fine tribute!
1. No, you don't need to bus tracks for mastering, you can just have Ozone on the master channel. Buses allow you to group certain tracks together, e.g. drums on one bus, bass on another etc., after which you can apply group mixing (some people do call this mastering) of those tracks with whatever effects you want but not normally Ozone, which is reserved for the master channel.
2. n/a
3. You do need the master channel strip, just lose the bus
4. Ozone shouldn't be distorting the sound. This is dependent on a lot of things though, so not an easy question to answer!
5. Did you check out the beginners mastering rack we've provided for members? It's a good way of getting to know the basic processes you should be thinking about if wanting to apply some mastering to your tracks.
Also, check out our mastering courses.... Producer's Guide to DIY mastering. Also, Ozone tutorials.
Hi Abhi,
1. There's no function in Logic for automatically nudging or shunting audio regions to remove gaps in the timeline, like you have in video editing apps for example. You just need to drag them manually.
2. Go to the File menu and then Export and then All Tracks as Audio Files. There's also a keyboard shortcut for that (SHIFT + COMMAND + E). You can't export as mp3s though, only professional formats like WAV and AIFF. You'd need to convert to mp3 after in Music (iTunes) or some other way.
3. Same Export option in the File menu but then choose Selection as Audio File. Before choosing that you need to select the bit of the arrangement you want to export, by dragging over with the mouse, or with the marquee tool.
Hope this helps!
Wishing our community a happy and healthy 2023 filled with inspirational beats! 
Keep an eye on our schedule for more member livestreams and new courses, starting from next week...
