Bass is like love. Some like-em full figured, some like-em slI'm and bossy. Some like-em noticed but covered up just enough to leave it to our imagination.

Hi,

I have just completed a song which sounds great in the studio and the studio monitors, but when I listen to it on small speakers, like those of a computer or small headphones the bass just disappears in obscurity.

If you take a DI on your bass track and then proceed to amp that bass track and mix it in with the DI, what if the two tracks are out of phase, but you like the mic positioning on the amped track. I remember hearing about a plugin where you can adjust phase by the degree for a total of 360°, but let's say you don't have this and need an alternate method. What would you do?

Ok, so I am fairly new to recording an mixing. I'm using Logic 8 and an emu 0404usb interface. One thing that I have never been satisfied with is my bass tone. What is the best way to record bass? What's the best way to mix it? How do you guys record and mix bass? I'm playin/recording hard rock and metal type music.

This is another crapper idea, one of those ideas that's either a spark of genius, or total trash. Bear with me...

How do you usually record bass?. I remember reading a post here where this guy was giving some tips. He was always using both DI and mic`ed up cab. Then he would compress the DI signal and boost the low end on the mic signal (or vise versa)... And then blend the signals... I tried to search for that thread with no luck.

hello ppl,

i need to master a song, but the bass has many boom sound.

how i remove a boom bass, in a mixed song?

thanks

Hello to all you acoustic gurus, I'm having a hard time finding a good, solid place for the acoustic bass in my mix. When I listen to the track alone, it sounds relatively healthy, but once it's in the mix, some parts pop out and some just get burried! :(

Would cutting low and add some mid-high help?

Hi,

I was wondering how you guys eq the "mud" area from 200 Hz to about 500 Hz ? Like give the basskick a cut around 400 Hz, and boost the bassguitar there, or cut bassguitar around 100 Hz and boost the basskick there for example.
So which space do you give your instruments in that "trouble" area ?

Thank you in advance.

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