Hello guys.
I've been working solo on an album for a long time and I'm SO CLOSE to finishing it. It's metal, and I have everything how I like it, but I just can't seem to get a bass tone that I like.
I am using DI and have tried matching countless online tutorials amp simulator, eq and compression methods, but I'm starting to think that the problem is the bass tone. Whenever I listen to someone elses RAW DI bass, Mine just sounds so different. Like real muddy. But I only brought my bass for recording
Bass is a Fender Precision bass, DI into a Presonus AudioBox 44VSL. The sound I'm getting is this: https://youtu.be/PbTXAY0lxrc
From what you hear, is that too muddy? If so, do you recommend any new pickups I could get to fix the sound. ----OR---- maybe the bass doesn't sound bad at all and it's all in my head?
This is the only thing holding me back, and once I get this done, it should be smooth sailing. I got it sounding satisfactory, But I'm not satisfied with satisfactory, funnily enough
Thanks for your help
Scotty
