Does anyone use MaxxBass?

It's usually really fine if you use it mainly on just one thing. But, if you feel like you have to use it on multiple peices in a mix (kick, tom bus, bass guitar), it's really helpful to have the plug-ins all enveloping different frequency areas. Like a kick should be the lowest area, like 20Hz-40Hz, then a bass guitar would be nice around 50Hz-60Hz, and toms usually do well around 80Hz or a little higher. It's not a great idea to have them all the same, that's when you start to muddy up a mix. I would say keep the RBass plug on the bass guitars, but be gentle with the MaxxBass, unless it's only on the kick, if so, crank that sucker up :p. It's so awesome when you have a system in your car, and that kick makes your heart stop everytime because it's so thick and juicy and just pounds you.

Just one question. What's the order of the effects you use?

Compressor -> EQ -> MaxxBass (or R Bass) or

Compressor -> MaxxBass (or R Bass) -> EQ or

None of This?
