...ok...im pretty new to the whole recording thing...probably my biggest interest right now is achieving that 3 dimensional stereo sound that comes through on professionally done recordings...i can come relatively close with everything but the bass guitar...i know with guitar tracks (i think, at least) you want to record two tracks and then pan them pretty hard...is this true for the bass as well? it doesnt seem like its done on pro recordings...but ive noticed on my bands demo or when i try to record stuff on my own at home the bass just totally kills the quality of the recording....like it puts a huge fog over everything. any tips or suggestions? (just so you know for my bands demo we didnt use any amps...just plugged direct through a compressor...for my home recordings i generally dont use mics on anything...i just use an amp simulator and plug direct through that with the bypass.)
