Example of SSL FX384 compressor on bass while tracking & on drum group during mix

UK band Burst... mid 90's Jules prod & engineered

Very nice track, but I think the guitar tone is pretty shoddy. Lacks warmth.

Sounds like wannabe INXS... i'm not crazy about the bass at all... it's too undefined. The snare reverb sounds more 80s than 90s...

I'm trying to find something about this I like and I can't... the guitar playing is tight... actually the timing seems pretty good on everything, that's a positive! And the fade is nice...
