I just recently got into music production, and when mixing my sub bass I discovered that it seems to get quieter the lower you go, i.e. 45 Hz sounds quieter than 60 Hz.
To counter this I used an EQ on my sub bass like this.
This way the bass sounds just as loud at both ends (to me, anyway). Is this the right thing to do? I use the ATH-M40Xs, which are supposed to have a very flat frequency response, so I figured that the reason for this is due to the way we perceive these frequencies. But I don't notice this in other tracks, so I'm wondering if it's an issue with my headphones or sound card. Should you EQ the bass like I did to make it sound level or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance!
