Do you use a sub monitor?

I have never had one, I find that when i mix my track down
it sounds good on my monitors, but when i play in my car it
seems like it's missing allot of bottom end. I was just
wondering if you use one?

and how to I connect one, does the signal go to he sub then
to the monitors?

thanks

low end is where its all at, haha
of course one of those krk subs would be nice. for now i
just mix it and if theres some ugly stuff going on down
below ill go back and fix it

i think if you use monitors + subs you need a crossover to
separate signal bands, isnt it?

my Alp 5s are 53hZ TO 20kHz so I deffenetly need some low
end, if your right malack the frequency for the sub will cut
off at 53Hz

hmm can someone tell me if this is right?

i have never made tunes with a sub present. you'd have to
sort out a way of making sure it was evened out with the
monitors right. i dont know, i can see myself turning it up
really loud just for the thump and then i go and listen to
it on some other speakers and being shat on by

from what i have been reading today, the sub needs to be
futher back from you than your main monitors, and adjusted
accordingly. the sub I am looking at has a pedal switch, so
you can turn it off when it's not needed

i have tapco s5 they go down to 60
its not bad but id love some 45hz in there..

ive never made a track with a sub present either, i presume
my tracks dont have a lot of sub bass all the time..

interesting, well I think it's worth mentioning because if
you can't monitor these lower frequencies when someone plays
your track with a big bass sub in there boot, you might have
some messy stuff going on.

or am i missing something here? it would seem most people
don't need one.

if you really want some low-end then buy a dedicated
subwoofer for your monitors. in your case the event s100

well you can always avoid extra/unwanted stuff you might not
hear on your monitors by doing a cutoff. software eq's are
great for that

yeah, but then again if it isnt so messy then on bigger
systems with deep bass the track might seem a little thin if
compared to other tracks..
i dont tend to cut off any frequencies like that, i let the
mastering guy do it for my cd releases, and for all the
other things i havent gotten any complaints yet..
