About the bass on your productions:
Are you typically using DI and Amp combos?
Lots of eq and compression going in?
Any favorite pre amps, compressors , amps, effects, pedals and mics?
I'm sure you have so many tricks from tracking to mix down if you don't mind sharing.
Thanks! |
In my experiences with BV, it's a combo of DI, amp and Sansamp RB1
Not much eq going in as we get the sound from the bass and amp first. On the last couple of records we've done together the DI has been the A-Designs Reddi into a LA2A and the mic has been either a Blue Mouse, a U47 Fet or a small condenser like the jospehson es22. The preamp has been a Chandler TG-2, Groove Tubes Vipre or Neve 1073.
For rock, nothing beats a great old SVT and 8x10.
For the Garbage stuff, it's pretty much always been a B-15.
Effects-wise, the Prescription Depth Charge, the sansamp and the EH bass microsynth are usually the first things to try!
