In this video, I explain and demonstrate some considerations about controlling and cleaning up your low end, in the context of the CTZ approach. This is episode 15 in a series about how to mix for loudness, in large part by using a specific approach to gainstaging and dynamic range control that I call the "Clip-to-Zero (CTZ) strategy".
