i tell kids bass drops are retarded but if they MUSTTT have them, i take the entire finished master project and the very final final step i do is bass drops, and the reason being is that i re-import the finished master .wav onto it's own track in a new project, create a second track for bass drops, and then bounce again. this is because i want the bassdrops to go around the master bus, and i'm sure reaper's routing functionality can do this one way or another...maybe...but this is just the crude and cumbersome way of doing it that i have employed in the past. sounds perfect. no pumping, no fart, sounds exactly the way you want it too. limiters always freak out when you smack them with a bassdrop and the result is what sounds like the cone of the speaker shredding right in front of you. awful. gutwrenching, even.
everytime this thread pops up i believe it's necessary to quote andy:
"bassdrops are gay! JUST SAY NO!"
I agree with your post 100 percent
