Thanks for posting this link! I found it useful -- especially all the info about compression.

Invaluable lesson, thanks Relativity - "The reason the kick and the bass tend to be mortal enemies in many mixes is they can literally occupy identical sonic space from a frequency perspective. So before reaching in with any EQ, listen to both and decide where one will take the lead over the other, and in which ranges."

I use Waves J27 Tape Saturation and even though its a saturation plug in, it has a marvelous preset called "Mix-Mids" and brings out the lower mids resulting in mixes that come thru great on phone speakers as well as on pro studio monitors. Not quite sure how it does that but it works great for it. Eq'ing lower mids is the ticket for consistant good sound across multiple speakers from good to bad.

Excellent example of real time frequency boosting and cutting and how it effects the vocal. This video also illustrates EQ terminology like "nasally, honky, boxey, warmth, presence" etc....:

Found these frequencies for bass on a reddit thread.

Saving it here for now

I cut'n'pasted this ages ago from somewhere. It's for recording, but it could give you a few ideas to try....


E.Q.ing
Start by rolling all the bottom off (from 100Hz and lower) then use the "low-mid" E.Q. to find the bass sound you want. Then slowly dial back the low frequencies to taste. Most of the "punch" comes from the "low-mid" range.

Cut "highs" during mixing. A bass track that sounds good "soloed" is NOT appropriate for many mixes. Cut the deep lows (150Hz and below.) They can swamp the playback equipment. Boost 1 to 2kHz for "fret noise" (may sound ugly "soloed" but adds articulation in the mix !) Try to cut and bring level up rather than boost. Make sure "kick" & "bass" aren't in the same area of the spectrum.

The lower the volume the quieter the low frequencies. Check mix at different volumes.
E.Q. settings should be finalized in the context of the complete mix.

BEATLE BASS - Boost 100Hz by 2 or 3dB, (if you don't use a pick then boost 3kHz by 3 to 6dB.) To make "smoother & warmer" cut 12 to 18kHz ("hi eq") by 6dB.

SILLY LOVE TONE (McCartney) - (Similar to Beatle Bass with more warmth.) Boost 100Hz by a few dB then boost 500Hz by 6dB or so. Cut 300Hz by about 3dB and cut 12kHz by 6dB. [Good for ballads, rockin' blues or shuffle.]
BASS IN YOUR FACE (Aggressive John Entwistle sound.) - Boost 1 to 2 kHz by 6 to 9dB. Cut 200Hz by 6dB. For more "brittle" sound cut 100Hz by 2 or 3dB. This will help a busy bass line to slice through the mix.

TWANG THANG (C&W"ish") - To accentuate "twang" : Cut 200 to 250Hz by 6dB or so. (Good for reducing "mud".) Boost equivalent amount of 1kHz for "twang". Boost 100Hz by 1 or 2dB.

MO-BETTER MOTOWN (OR REGGAE) - (Smooth muted tone.) Cut 1kHz by 5 or 6dB. Boost 200Hz by 3dB. Boost 100Hz slightly. Cut high end ("hi eq") by 6dB or so. For "reggae" sound - boost a few more "dB's" of "low end".

This is the Silly Love Song bass
