| Bass doesn't usually punch to me unless it locks with the kick drum.... DBX 160s work with kick drum pretty well and they are cheap. In that price range you might be better off with....um... plug-ins. UAD-1 Fairchild would probably work quite well on both (but I wouldn't exactly call it punchy) as would the RenComp or maybe that sonalksis thing. If the sound isn't in the ballpark, you might need to do more than change compressors. Also, you shouldn't need to compress samples much if at all.
Anybody A/B transient designers with the Waves Trans-x? Trans-x can add punch but it does not play nice with the L2 as it seems to undo what the trans-x does. |
