Is this all in EQ? For example, the open Low E, as well as many other notes are dwarfed in comparison to the 4th and 5th frets on the Low E. These ones rock the subwoofer and then makes the other notes seem puny. Is there any remedy for this? Thanks.

Hi guys, I have a really annoying problem with my bass strings and was hoping someone could give me some advice.

I play in a modern hard rock band, it sounds really heavy and aggressive and I tune my 5 string, like the guitar players, in D flat, like this:

5-Bb
4-Db
3-Ab
2-Db
1-Gb

I'm delving into mixing some multitrack live recordings of my rock band. I'm Micing a Bergantino 12" cabinet with a Beta 52A, and taking a direct off the bass player's 5-string Modulus bass.

How do you pros manage to get that deep, solid bass tone that you hear at a live concert, or on a good studio recording? EQ? Compression? It's proving elusive to me.

Hi. Next week I have a session booked next week where I (may) have to record an acoustic bass. I have plenty experience in acoustic guitar miking, but was wondering if anyone could offer me advice on placement, and mic selection, this being a very different beast. The guitar has a pickup, but would want to capture some of the guitar body sound as well as the direct sound.

on the final mix of song before you send to get mastered, how much energy (volume/thickness) do you want in the bass frequencies?

let me know if I need to make this question more specific...

thanks!

Hello everybody!

I have exciting question about recording bass drum. Assured a lot of You met this.

Tinkling drum beater on drum head!

Ordinary drummers play on bass drum with pressing drum beater on the head and in that case beater provide little terrible tinkling sounds.

Here's a question for all you folks up on current trends. What is considered a good bass sound? I'm an orchestra guy so all my training and impressions are based (pun alert) on very nice 3/4 or 7/8 symphonic instruments.

When I tracked guitar with my band 2 weeks ago I used an sm57 & Behringer C-4. which surprisingly sounded pretty good. I was just going to use the same setup to record bass.

But I also have an Electro-Voice EL33 and an Apex 120. Would it be better to replace the sm57 with one of those?

Hey all.

Been reading around a few forums now regarding getting a good bass sound, but I've realised I'll probably get the best answer by explaining what gear I currently use and my budget etc

I've recorded about 20 songs using Audacity from an audio receiver. The highs and mids are good but there is too much bass on each. Is there an effect in Audacity to reduce the bass? It has effects for bass boost but no bass reducer. I tried the high pass filter but the results weren't good. I've reduced the incoming bass for future recordings.
