I'm mainly thinking about this in the context of the eternal kick vs. bass battle, but are there major downsides, in phase weirdness or otherwise, to using a notch on an instrument to completely carve out a frequency, as opposed to just using a tight bell curve with a large amount of db reduction?
I've experimented with creating a narrow-ish notch wherever the kick drum peaks and removing those frequencies entirely from the bass guitar to make room for the kick, but I was wondering if that's a bad idea and I should just be doing db reduction with a normal bell instead. Thoughts?
