hey guys!
so everybody knows the old SC trick where you compress the bass guitar to the BD so the BD won't lose energy when the bass guitar is playing, right?
so i'm mixing this project where the bass guitar and BD play simultaniously almost all the time if not ALL the time and i got to thinking:
if i'll SC the bass guitar the old fashion way it'll just be compressed ALL the time, so what's the point? i might as well just compress it more than usual and that's it....
but of course than i will be...well....over compressed...
so it's obvious when both bass and BD are palying together something's got to give, but how do you keep both of them clear without killing the BD?
one thought that crossed my mind is inserting a multi-band compressor on the bass guitar and boosting a certain frequency while cutting it on the BD and vice versa....
what do you think? how do you deal with those situations?
