Listening to some Andy mixes (Headstrong by Trapt is a GREAT one) and I'm just so amazed at how tight but huge his bass is.
I'm thinking that he does the old trick where he rolls off the low end to about 250hz with the SSL Eq and then puts back a bell at 130Hz and then compresses the hell out of it with the SSL channel comp till that tight 130Hz starts to sing a bit. Anyone know any more details? I'm pretty sure the Alge bros mix bass this way. I also heard a rumor that Andy used a dbx subharmonic on his bass, but that could be BS.
