Mr Mig & Mike Rizzo
GLOBAL GROOVE ENTERTAINMENT
Production duo Mr Mig & Mike Rizzo of Global Groove Entertainment (Cher, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift) talk to us about getting the bass to cut through a mix
Thumping low end
Modern dance and pop music frequently relies on a thumping low end as its main driving force. The kick drum or bassline cutting through can practically make or break a track.
It is therefore important to maintain a good balance between a wide stereo image and solid mono bass frequencies.
In order to achieve this, having tried a wide variety of tools, Mr Mig and Mike Rizzo frequently choose NUGEN’s Stereoizer and Monofilter plug-ins.
Trade secrets
"We have other producers hitting us up saying 'What are you using? How do you get it to cut like that?'"
Enhancing the bass
“I came to Steve I think a couple of years ago and I said ‘we need to enhance the bass, whatever, more of the European quality the way they’re driving it on the electronic sound.’ Next thing I know, he sends me a couple of tracks, I’m like ‘how did you get it that deep, to cut like that?’ And it was NUGEN.”
Flexible tools
"In the last several years there's been a few tools, but definitely on this front for the stereo enhancement and bass control, NUGEN is the company that has the products that we use."
Essential to your workflow
"There’s two products out of the whole bunch that really are essential to us, and that is the Stereoizer and that is the Monofilter.”
"To get that low end tight with the kick... it's awesome to open up a plug-in like the Monofilter and just see where you're gonna cut really easily."
