Grate mixing tutorial from ForTiorI

It kinda basic EQing but way how he approached it was one of best videos I've seen.

So I've watched this video and it went against a few things I've been doing. Putting a high pass on a bass a thing? I usually set it to like 36-40 ish but I've never set it to the point where it would clear way for the bottom thump of the kick. I usually just have a compressor that ducks about 0.8 db of the bass guitar when the kick hits. I've also never boosted any lows on my Rhy guitar like he did. This is making question what I've learned so far lol, in a good way I guess.

I don't think there's necessarily established dogma on that point. High-passing the bare minimum of the sub-lows will get you a warmer, thicker sound, but high-passing around 70 up to even 90 or 100 or so will let you play around to introduce exactly the amount of that area that you need/want, which is what I tend to do. Plus, with the different tonal qualities of basses, pickup differences, different HPF slopes, etc., one person's HPF @ 35 hz might not sound anything like another person's.
