On a bass track for a song, either due to the playing or the natural resonance of the bass guitar, I'm having really nasty low-end boom on a specific note. It completely muddies up the low end, and in order to get rid of it with a high pass filter, I have to scoop out like <110 Hz, which completely kills the good sounding low end of the bass throughout the entire song. The boominess appears to be in the 60-90 range, and is at least 3 times as loud.
My chain on the bass track is just RComp into an EQ. I tried automating an EQ high a higher high pass for when those notes are played, but it's pretty ghetto sounding. I also tried throwing a high pass around 100 Hz before the compressor in the event that the compressor was adding to the issue on the low end, but after a first try (still gotta play with it some) it made no difference.
Is there any way I can tame this without re-recording the bass track? Has anyone else experienced this and is able to offer some advice?
