Tremendous Bass Tone - How To Mix A Bass Guitar

I deleted it in the hope that it would let things cool down a bit. I figured you would resurrect it eventually. I just wanted the thread to have a "time out", as it had drifted into personal insults.

I have no problem with someone posting a process that they've discovered works for them. As long as they understand that when doing so, they are opening themselves up to a critique to the process.

If you can't accept that, or are gonna get pissed off if someone disagrees with you, then you're better off not posting.

hee hee hee ...... he did get all bunched up there at the end didn't he? lol ..... cracks me up.

as soon as he resorted to person attack i knew he had nothing left. there is a post where he got very outside that is missing. did he delete it or did a mod do something with it?

oh well, it was fun.

 

Chris, Kurt, check your PM's

 

it's the ease. you can heap on compression, eq, image shifting, pitch shifting, more eq, limit... etc... on every single channel, and again with multiband crap on the master bus.
It's too easy. Kid in a candy store. No soup for you.

Maybe one of those windows (tm) warning popups for newly installed softwares so when you go cranking the ratio too high or threshold real low, or Q setting too tight, or boost an eq more than 3 or 4 db or using a damn exciter *at all*... a window pops up "THESE SETTING ARE KNOWN TO HAVE A CRAPPY EFFECT ON SOUND", please select ok to continue

Have you ever ventured out onto a forum that would appeal to young "beat makers" or "producers" or whatever the hell they call themselves now? It's a damn mess of bad information. Horribly bad info. Lump all this together and you get tutorials on the ultimate bass processing mess.

 

i think a lot of people suffer from placebo effect when it comes to processing. plugs or hardware. someone spends a butt load of cash on something ...... so of course it has to have a positive effect. not so grasshoppers.

any processing of a signal degrades said signal. processing may make something work better in a mix but it doesn't make something sound better. how can that be, you might ask? best case scenario; the way classical music is recorded. mic(s) to pre(s) to tape (daw) to speaker(s). it doesn't get better than that. anything else adds noise and interferes with the fidelity of the sound.

but much like soloing a track out of context and tweaking it to sound it's best, the purest signals may not sit well in said mix. so the gods of recording developed and invented signal processors. (ok, e.q,'s were invented to "fix" certain issues in long distance transmission lines.)


there's no such thing as a "goodulator".

all the plugs this guy used to achieve this so called "tremendous sound", it's no wonder it sounds like ass.
