Quit Using Aux Fed Subs (Do This Instead)

I’m going to come right out and say it. Aux fed subs are the wrong way to manage your low end. I’m not saying you should forego control of your subs, but an aux or a bus is the wrong tool for the job.

Today I’ve got four reasons why you shouldn’t use aux fed subs, then I’ll walk you through how I set up my console and system processor to handle my low end.

We’ll cover:

• Why the mono bus (as well as auxes/buses) set your low end up for failure
• What bad habits we’re borrowing from film world
• How your brain has to think twice as hard about mixing low end with an aux-driven setup
