Hi all!
I'm recording a bluegrass/folk type group and on some of my early mixes I'm having a hard time getting the upright bass to come through without just cranking it, which is wreaking havoc on my dynamics (which I generally struggle with anyway). Should I just compress the crap out of it and denoise it (recorded main tracks to 2" and the levels were slightly low, so a bit of noise there) or what?
I can probably upload some of my mixes if need be, but I don't think they're really necessary. FWIW, the notes are pretty even, its just that uprights have so much attack and such a fast decay with no sustain... kinda hard to make it sound like a bass...
Now that I think about it... maybe its just my perception... maybe I'm trying to mix this stuff like rock... hmmm...
Any thoughts are much appreciated and welcomed.
