Why does it always seem my own instrument needs little work? Probably because the bass is a fairly simple instrument. But that's beside the point. How to mix the bass? Well, I used, yet again, the multiband compressor within Cubase and used the preset for a bassguitar. That's it for plugin's, unless you want some modulation, than you can edit that. As you can read in our recording posts, we've recorded the bass into two channels, DI-ed and miked. One is panned to the left and the other is panned to the right. This way you get a swell stereo effect which no plugin can create for you. Further more you need to EQ it a little so you don't get interference with the bassdrum. Remember? Boost, high Q, 100 Hz? Boost, low Q, 2 kHz? Same story except the boost becomes a cut. That's it!
Whoa strong story eh? Don't worry. Guitars and vocals are a lot of fun to mix, especially vocals. [insert evil laugh here]
