HI all,
When I record programmed bass on my groovebox it sounds fine in the mix, but with a live bass I have trouble mixing it in. When I take out the bass track everything else sounds good, but when I punch the bass back in, it's kind of muddy and not clear. I recently got the safesound p1, and the bassplayer went through it to record, and it seems like it's going to be much better, but I didn't sing yet... so i'm not sure what will happen when everything is all done. This has always been an issue. Recording with fender jazz bass was the best.... easier to eq and get it to sound nice in the mix. But my bassplayer has an alembic brown bass, and it's much harder to get it to just blend the way the fender would.
Any tips on mixing in live bass? Articles or links?
Oh, also... the drums are programmed drums... so, we need to get this bass mixed in nice...
the songs are rock/pop style
thanx,
evt
