There's a good amount in the sub area compressed as fuck, but guess there's too much to destroy a sub system
Your favorite mix regarding bass frequencies?

Most of mine have already been mentioned here.
Sevendust - Animosity
Dark Tranquility - Fiction
Nickelback - any of the last 3 or 4 albums
Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe (the chorus on Morphogenesis! oh mother!)
Bergstrand stuff usually has massive bottom end - stabbing the drama, shadowland, destroy erase improve etc.
and i too love Jacob Hansen's work (thats why he mixed and mastered my bands new album!): Mercenary - architect of lies, Raunchy - wasteland discotheque and Deadlock - Manifesto all spring to mind.

Wow...did you go in the Hansen studios during the mixing process? I think it's another guy that put the bass lower than kick drums into the mix. I asked him yesterday about this

sadly no, just posted him dvd's with sessions and audio files on (we tracked ourselves). Never even met the guy, only spoke via email.
Album came out great tho! will let ya'll know when we have clips up on myspace etc (my band is Pythia by the way).
And a nice touch is that i think he only re-amped 2 of my 4 rhythm tracks (wanted a different amp in there), which made me feel good

Crap, that's nice! Even though youtube quality sucks ass, that was freakin' cool. Pretty out of control as you say, but I found it to be very "round", not sure how else to describe it, but it certainly wasn't unpleasant.
Mnemic was also pretty nice in the low end.

and why don't you check it from Spotify?"
I see. Spotify? I don't have an account there, for some reason... thought you had to be invited to get one, or that's what I keep hearing all the time but never bothered checking for myself.

knows what you think.
Okay after listening to Korn - Untouchables - Beat It Upright I have to say that is fucking huge sounding, the bass is insanely big.

I can't describe how much I love the bass and guitar sound of Stabbing the Drama. Fucking awesome!!!
Haha that song is legendary... mostly because that's where "BAUOOOW!" comes from
(I love that particular riff, it's amazing!)But as for the production, it's not even close to "Pillars". There is just too much sub bass and it's all over the place... the kick has a longer "tail", maybe from compression, on the sub. On "Pillars", it's very tight but still subby and fat.
The overall production is also quite thin apart from the overly abused sub frequencies, doesn't have the same thickness in the lower mids (lower mids is so hard to get right... most of the time we just wanna scoop 'em out because we are sensitive to it, but without it, it just sounds ass).
Edit: But once again, I wanna add that exactly on that "BAUUUOW!" is like... wow... I just LOVE that thickness that occurs exactly on that note. Yum yum. (I think that riff starts at 0:21 if I remember correctly...)

Hahahahahaha, yeah, that's the origin of BAUUOWW, isn't it? Legendary status
mnemic is pretty nice in the low end, but nowhere near what jens bogren or peter staub achieve in terms of tight low end IMO.
crossfade`s self titled album has super tight bass as well. all in all, I think its my fav of randy`s productions! I just cant get past how shitty nickelbacks music is, but crossfade really showcases randy staubs work!!
also, in utero had some phat bass, although it was pretty muddy!

I'd say my favorite bassy mixes are The Death of a Dead Day by Sikth and Audio Injected Soul by Mnemic.
The Veil of Maya album isn't bad, in that you can hear everything cleanly and they have a sick and different guitar tone, but overall I thought the mix was pretty bland..

Ok I definately need to check out A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step - "Pet". 3 posts in a row hailing it? It's gotta be good
Edit: Checked it out, damn it's heavy! It's awesome when they get such powerful bass without overpowering the whole mix.
