Hi all. I have a poorly recorded but nicely played bass track. I recorded it years ago, and the bassist is no longer available, so re-recording is not an option. This is for a hard rock track, think Queens of the Stone Age.
During recording, there was some problem with the mic or connection that I didn't notice. The signal is strangely faint and fades in/out, almost like a drained battery in a DI box. Compression helps a bit, but the frequency of the track is weird, with the bottom end missing and it being very thin. EQ is of limited help.
I'm using Logic Pro X. I'm experimenting with "Convert to Sampler" which will extract the notes into a MIDI track. That's one route, but some of the feel of the track is lost.
Is there a plugin or technique I can use to recreate the low end? It needs more than just EQ "fattening" as the recorded signal is not sufficient. Essentially, I would like to use the existing track to trigger a plugin or processor, so that I preserve the feel. But the existing bass sound itself proving to be of limited use.
Thanks.
