    90's Filtered Bass Lines - How did they get those sounds?

    Speaking about the classic early 90's East Coast sound here. How did they manage to get those deep booming bass lines by filtering but with out having them sound ''muddy'' for want of a better word? I have an MPC that I use and I end up tuning down the filter and turning up the resonance (to...

    Should I hold back on compression?

    What causes a ringing sound on mixing desk?

    I have the Yammaha EMX 2300 Mixer. It was something that was basically free. A friend of a friend had to make a power pack as the original one was missing/ripped out. The desk works fine to a point. I can't seem to get the send effects to work but at this point am not fussed about them. The...
