Leadfoot Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 You definitely want to compensate on the low frequencies so that it compliments the kick. I also like to add just a touch of overdrive to give the bass some grit so it stands out a little more in the mix. I record through a POD HD Pro into an Audient interface to get my sound, but any saturation/distortion plug in can get you the extra bite. Just be very light with it so it's not too distorted.

Mult or duplicated the bass track Run a high-pass filter on the mult/copy Apply the distortion after the high-pass filter This gives you a tone in the realm of Chris Squire and Geddy Lee. You get that nice sounding distortion... without the bottom-end losing definition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
