Hey guys,
Been a while since I visited last but things look the same. Now off to my new question.
I've lately been having problems getting the bass to sit well in the mix. It usually starts off by sounding too boomy. I try to find the offending frequency using parametric EQ and pull it down. However...when I go back and listen to how it effects the entire mix it now sounds a bit too thin...or the high end frequencies sound to pearcing. This has become very frustrating...and I'm wondering if there are any tricks of the trade on getting a good balance. I keep telling myself "I'll fix it when mastering" but it never works the way I want it.
I'm using CEP2.1....usually mixing blues-boogie-rock. Piano player has a heavy left hand and the bass is usually very loose sounding. "Boomy"
I have the waves mastering plugins.
Thanks a mill guys....you've always come through for me....don't let me down now!!!! =)
