Hi guys,

Can anyone give me some tips on doubing bass tracks. My bands bass player insists on it but everytime we do it I get this awfull muddy chorused bass sound. It works great with distorted bass but anything else sucks. Is there a proper way to do this or should I just stick to the distorted sounds.

Thanks.

I have been using a technique for big bottom bass and it works really well.

I use Adobe Audition. These are completed stereo mixdowns.

I isolate the low-bass, then pitch-stretch down 1 whole octave.

Then I boost that up +3 or even +6 dB, then mix-paste with the orignal file.

MY QUESTION(S):

I have a couple questions for some gurus out there.

First of all, what is the best way to mix two guitar tracks when they are both playing melodic lines (a la Killswitch Engage, Trivium etc)

Should they be panned to the extreme left and right or maybe halfway, or between half and extreme?

I don't have one but wish i did. Does anyone have a link to a good guide?

if I am using Pro Tools and running bass direct...is there any plugins that you guys would recommend to get the best sound? It's acoustic driven rock. thanks for any knowledge you can pass along!

Hey there all, I am using reason and wanted to make some new orderish type of basslines any one no what would be the best way to go about it? The subtractor?, what key?, basslines are becoming a pain. Is there like a certain pattern you are suppose to follow when making them?
Thanks

I'm in a new band and we'd like to record a simple demo. Our orchestration is violin, viola, steel pan, bass, and keys (I'm playing only keyboards now; no acoustic keyboard instruments yet).
