Hey guys, I've been having a bit of trouble getting the "right" sound for my bass guitar recordings....I like a nice deep yet very defined sound,..maybe reminissant of some disco'ish tunes of the 70's....It just seems that you can both hear the bass clearly as well as "feel" it......yet it's not mushy or muddy at all.....but more deep,warm, and punchy...
I've tried both mic'ing my 4x10 cab as well as running direct through my DMP3 preamp......and I've also went as far as using the AmpegSVT plug in software (Which I think sounded the best IMO..) ...
Anyway, I was looking for some input as to different techniques in recording, EQ'ing, and "mastering" the bass tracks.
Just to clarify, I have no need for distorted bass or the honky midrange boink,boink sounds of the 80's metal scene (Even though that's the stuff I LOVE to play on guitar )
I really wish I could find a song that had the sound I was looking for in it, but usually when I hear a song with that in it, I'm driving down the road
Here's a little clip that I made the other day....this isn't exactly what I want, but it's as close as I've came thus far...:
