a bunch of artists use reverb on bass...like for example Eskimo. He uses very short room reverbs on his basslines and it sounds amazing

yeah his basslines are cool, but his kicks sucks really often instead... they are simply to muted often imo...
sometimes i think i just hear the sidechain-comp. on the bassline, what makes me think i can hear the kick

Can anyone recommend some good overdrives for use on bass and kick?
I make breaks too and the bassline often has to be long sweeping tones and I can never get them 'thick' enough |

have you tried the D16 Devastor ?
its a multiband distortion , reeeeally crunchy and dirty if u want, brings a lot of harmonics to the surface,, but i cant understand exactly what kind of overdrive you need or the thickness ,, maybe open the decay of the amplitude envelope & the release a little more at this spot to have more room for the sweeping?

@Tomos >
for breaks, the most efficient way to build phat basslines is to create 2 group channels, one with a tube comp or smthing like that (with some drive), and one with a distortion or fuzz unit. Then route your bass signal to these groups (sends) and adjust your three levels : the dry one (punch), the compressed one (warmth and drive), and the distorded one. you're done.
D16 devastor, AudioDamage Fuzzplus (free) and Kombinat, Ohmforce stuff, CamelPhat, etc...

The tip of day:
If you are experiencing an acute exacerbation of "I need more hardware devices", do the following.
Read a reviews, watch videos of hardware synths, browse the forums, online audio-gear shops for a couple of hours,
then you will suddenly understand that you are wasting your time right now (if you don't have a couple of free kilo$ of course), and will get back for making music with what you have

install a bed or a mattress in your studio near your workstation.
just lie down when you want to listen the whole track in process.
this position helps to focus on listening.

best way to record your tracks and hole mixes (a little pro trick)
well lot of people use the export function to export their loops , leads , bass etc etc
basically when exporting a midi or audio file with fx or dynamics on the track ,,
these inserts doesnt play "live" during the export
this means that the inserts are in a sort of stand by mode and the program reads the algorithm of the current plugin and TRIES TO RECREATE IT !! (DANGER - ITS NOT THE SAME ALGORITHM AS THE ONE THAT'S PLAYING - END..)
That's why the quality is much worse than the sound you're listening in comparison with the track before exporting
Solution??
If you have an audio interface with digital outputs like SPdIF or Optical (though SPDIF is preferred)
you take an SPDIF cable (75ohm with RCA connectors) and route the it through the in & out of the SPDIF .
One side of the cable goes to the IN and the other to the OUT of the sound card
Then in "VST Connections" of Cubase/Nuendo
make a STEREO BUS IN and choose to take the signal from SPDIF -IN- (two channels for stereo of course, example in RME TotalMix channels 9+10)
And again you make another STEREO BUS in the
OUTPUTS and route to take the signal from SPDIF out .
Rename the buses something like SPDIF IN and SPDIF OUT
Then make an Audio Track (NAME: RECORD OUT for example) in the working field and route its IN & OUT through the buses you've made
You just route the signal internally through digital , which means there's no AD/DA involving
Now you have a track where you can record(by pushing rec at this track ) everything that's playing in the mix , separately by soloing or the hole mix together.
In this way everything is recorded "live"
and the quality of the sound is much better than the exported one
Try it and make a comparison between the two ways of the sound and you'll be impressed .
Im very happy with this way and you wont believe how quick it is ,, lets say you have a hi-hat from Battery you like play it for a couple of loops,, push record and then take it from the "RECORD OUT" track to a new you will make(probably "HI-HAT") & there you are, you have your audio in no time and better quality than exporting it and think of how useful it will be with all these leads with fx's and for me the most important of all the EQ's of them which has to be precise (not to mention the bass , hehehe)

I have heard from some Cubase users about such issue, but
That is very debateble and i think it depends on the sequencer maybe...
I experience just the opposite (using Reaper). The track after mixdown sounds slightly better than while playing live. Maybe, because some plugins and/or Reaper itself use kind of oversampling when rendering offline, don't know. Also, some plug-ins (e.g. GlissEQ) automatically switch to better quality algorythms when they are informed of offline rendering.

sounds great but, i wonder how can that be since in offline and generally the plugin , does not work, and its algorithm is recreated by the program, you cannot have the same outcome, it can come very close but wont be the same.
anyway my results is much better and i love this way of working now,, hope it helps other ppl too

you don t need external cable to route the out/in of a rme card with total mix, you can do it via the mixer with ctrl-click ,also in most sequencer you can bounce in real time but you don t even need to do that cause i m sure every plugs use the same or a better algo when you bounce them .if your export sound different that what you hear your sequencer is crap . |
