Yeah, I don't know how the threshold on the bass got bumped all the way up...down?...(still confused on how that works), but it was squashed flat and lost all it's pluck and livelihood. Fixed that.
Seems that if I just turn on a limiter it squashes everything to oblivion and I can't hear the difference...funny about that, I have pretty decent ears from what I've mentioned correctly in others' songs.. Maybe I should just work without if I can't catch what it's doing.
I know I like what the C1-L1 does to thumpy (bass and kick) to get them leveled out, and I like what it does to voice to keep things even when it goes from single to multiple. Maybe I'll just stick to that.
1.4:1 on a final bus compressor is obviously WAY overcompressed and limited to death.
Maybe there's something else going on I'm missing.
Anyway, thanks for the listen, Trip!
Fixed the bass yesterday, hopefully it got better. I've considered taking the kick down just a tad, too. It really grabs my attention every time the song starts.
Thanks for the compliment on the voice. It's getting better now that I'm singing and practicing decently again. Still not where I want it, yet. But better.
Trying to work with the guitars, but may completely retrack. They get buried in part by the strings when they come in...trying to get that elusive mix of the two that sounded so good in Whitesnake songs...
Funny thing with guitar tones. I listen to a lot in the thread on such topic and I really don't like the sound of most of the guitar tones there, but they sound great in a recording. When I record something I really like on the guitar, it sounds ... well, not bad, but not great either when I get it in the mix... Something my ears are still missing.
I'll just have to keep listening, keep learning, keep experimenting, keep trying. That's what the game's all about!
