A acoustic ballad rock/metal tune, BLS/southern style..

Hey Hermie, funny you like this so much. You had a piece in it. I totally stole your bass recording technique you wrote up a couple of years ago with the patch. Used it ever since. Works like a champ on almost everything!!! If you listen, I recorded the bass with your technique but Bob mixed it. :)

Scott, that is an honor to read :notworthy
I am absolutely stoked to think I've contributed to something this awesome. I know exactly what technique you're talking about, although I gotta say I doubt I came up with it, but MAN... If it can help churn results like THIS...
I've got to start using it again. Any chance you can tell me what the patch name is? I seem to have misplaced it :rock:

Cheers, dude :kickass:

Again, well done on this jam.

I doubled that track and did a LOW bandpass starting around 80hz on down and left that panned center. the 2nd track I did a highpass around 500hz and then some compression. [thresh-10 /20:1 / knee 50% / fast attack / release] adjust out-vol to taste & panned 5-10% left

On this track I used the patch listed above but Bob mixed the bass. He might have to chime in on his secrets.
