I just listened to Baby Keem's Ca$ino album, and I noticed that the low end was really punchy and hard hitting, despite it not being as sub-heavy as, say, songs mixed by engineers like Neal Pogue.

Is this a decision made during the mixing process, or is it during mastering?

Another thing that comes to my mind is, was it done through a high pass filter or a low shelf?

Sorry if it seems basic or obvious, I'm trying to study as much as I can from these mixes as I really love how the transients sound on this album.

I'm trying to apply for audio jobs around my country, and most of them require either Pro Tools or Logic Pro X experience. I've never had any experience with both, as I've been using UA LUNA and Ableton Live to mix. That's why I'm thinking of getting Intro, but my question is will I be able to learn/access everything I need given the limitations of the Intro version?
