What's the rule of thumb when it comes to getting a "good" setting on your EQ for bass guitar and drums? :w:

Wow, I just bought a lovely SansAmp bass driver. Beautiful tone. I turn up the tone on the bass and driver to get that lovely high-endtwang I want from my bass.

Im trying to figure out how to get that deep bass sound like them boys in tha dirty south. If any body knows what I can use please help me out, all I'm really using right now is a Korg triton

I need some advice on what to listen for when mixing Bass Guitar for southern gospel music. All the parts are locked very tight with the kick drum. Bouncy low end has been a struggle for me. I guess I am asking for some starting points but more importantly why something is a starting point. in other words, what part of the bass sound bounces with the kick drum?

Hey all!

I'm looking for suggestions on plugins, specifically an amp simulator plugin (DirectX preferred) that does the Fender Bassman and/or Electro Harmonix pedal simulation (Big Muff, etc).

Developer URLs, etc are appreciated!
Thanks for your help!

I know that this topic has to some degree been previously discussed and I have searched (and read) previous responses. Please allow me aks this question anyway as it might (?) have a slightly different angle.

OK, I have near field monitors and head phones as my tools for mixing. For the most part I can get everything to sit well in the mix until I cut to CD and play my work on other systems.

The problems is I do not know how the bass levels will turn up on other systems. Is there a rule of thumb that might help at setting bass levels using near field monitors.

I've heard that there are physical groove reasons why the bass must be dead-center for vinyl pressings.

I, like everyone, dig the punch of a mono bass in lock-step with a kick, but...

There are times, though, that I run across either the urge or the need (!) to do a *really* wide bass either split-delayed l/r @10ms, or actually 2 different hard-panned bass sounds.

I was just wondering what a good mic to mic a bass cab was. I have a Shure beta 52. will that do the job. if not i could use some suggestions. thanks, jeremy

I am starting to research my options for good bass chanels (mic preamp, di and a mic for acoustic bass). I will be recording both electric bass (di channel) and acoustic bass (di channel and mic channel). I also need to pick up a good mic for recording acoustic bass. The music I am recording is mainly jazz.
