Have you been using Subquake by The Cargo Cult? Get the low end to cut through in your mixes, in ways you were never able to achieve before. We have all used many different low frequency generator plugins over the years, but Subquake is an entirely different beast.
This is not a music plugin that we all have to adapt for our purposes, Subquake was designed for post production, by people working in film and series, to solve the problems that other plugins were never built to handle. Subquake pushes sounds forward, making them feel huge, but it keeps everything in spec, with its own built-in filters and limiters, all within this single plugin. It is also repeatable and reliable, meaning your rumble wont change each time you playback the scene. – you can even punch-in on a rumble tail, with no snaps or clicks. Gunshots are suddenly tight and they PUNCH, explosions can shake the room and rumbles can have ridiculously long tails.
Don’t fall into the trap of delivering boring, ho hum sub. Add character and shape to your mixes by having more impact from less signal. Get Subquake, and shake the plaster right off the walls. Head to https://www.thecargocult.nz/ to learn more
