where do you guys usually roll off the high pass filter on heavily distorted guitars without taking away from the grunt of a palm muted riff?
Lately, I've actually taken to boosting 90-100Hz on guitars as per Colin's recommendation as it really does add the life and sound of the cab into the sound. You get that 'oomph' that you generally only get from being in the room, but without necessarily destroying the low end of your mix, if you're careful.
If the bass is sitting just right you won't notice the missing low end from the guitars. Getting that bass to sit right is a bitch though...jeez...
has anyone tried using auto tune or some kind of pitch correction on a bass? i heard that this helps it sit in the mix alot better because a bass is never perfectly intune since the strings are flopping around..expecially in drop tunings
well im doing 90% of my mixing on yamaha hs 50s and the low end sucks on those things...i plan on getting bass traps at some point but i think a pair of 8" speakers would definatly help too
