I’m going to come right out and say it. I think 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.

My name's Michael I love helping you level up your audio and business skills so you can build a career you love.

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
