the idea is to eliminate the note entirely from the original bass track, and replace it with the clean sine. you treat the original bass track like any other bass track, add grit or distortion or whatever you wanna do, even apply normal eq's like you would. then at the end of the chain, high pass the shit out of it and then low pass at the same frequency on the sine wave

Why would you low pass a sine wave? What are you... low passing?
 
I started this sine wave thing this morning and I am still fucking going. Will share mix when band releases it. Don't get to excited though, my mixes comparatively suck.
 
oh my fuck.

you certainly make a lot of work for yourself man.. (though i guess the ends justify the means) i'm curious if you use a VST synth or if you make the notes by hand and copy paste..?

knowing you, probably the latter.. aha.

thanks,

if making cd's was easy, everyone would be doing it....

oh wait...
 
Wow, that sine wave trick is genius. I'm gonna have some fun playing with that, thank you so much for the tip! I wish you were recording TDWP new record, I really hope Adam D. doesn't make it bland. You've been putting a lot more "life" in your recent mixes, it started with Zombie EP. So I hope I still hear your creative input in the new album.
 
yeah you just program all the notes they played. the only bitch is matching slides and bends. but spend some time and it can be done.

Why not just use Cubase' fuction to export midi from monophonic instruments?

Edit: or Melodyne's midi export

yeah, i'm worried for the same reason. if they choose me to mix it, i'm sure we'll be safe. but we'll see! the guys have many more options and much more money now. so they can probably afford chris lord alge if they wanted something ridiculous like that
 
You tell em' Joey! Never give away the secrets that make the "Sturgis" sound, people are already getting pretty close. But you surpass your previous stuff every time you release something new, you one of my favorite producers to follow because of that.

Aren't you having 2 different recording sessions for WCAR?
 
lol...

I don't see myself doing the sine wave (or programmed with Trillian) thing any time soon. There are plenty of great producers out there who use still use the good ol' fashion bass guitar for bass guitar tracks. I was just curious.

The sine wave blended with distorted highs thing does sound more natural/realistic than the programmed Trillian stuff on the I Am Abomination cd though. I guess it works well for bringing out the notes of super low tuned stuff.
