subbass compression

**Col** · 25-09-2003, 05:47 PM

right guys, can you please give me some suitable settings for compressing subbass?

im currently working on an electro track and the subbass i want to compress is reasonably long/sustained.

just looking for some guidelines guys, any help more than appreciated ;)

EQ out everything u don't need from the bass (like Highs and make some extra low freq, probably bellow 40-50 HZ), use a Waves Maxxbass with the laptop preset, but then adjust the original and the maxxbass errr bass processing 2 suit yer tastes (and the track) run that thru antares tube 2 get it ruff-sweet and a little growling, now just Use Rbass by waves and stick 2 the main pre-set... that should do the trick nicelly.. If u use Logic or fruity just use the kick and a side chain 4 the bass compressor so it gives in a little bit everytime there is a kick!!

Hope this helpz ya,

i forgot to mention that i bought a double pack (is it recreations?) and you have a track on their along with the likes of chris liebing, player etc.

good track mate. infact the majority of the tracks on the double pack are really impressive.

Hey m8,

Thanks 4 the support... it's a track all donne from scratch no samples but it intended 2 b a remix as it is on a similar old (internal records) advent style with some sequences similar 2 they're early workz...

It's slightly more hard and minimal then what I generally do but i gues it ain't 2 bad eheheh ;)

thankz,

Next time use the VST Q plugin.
You can ajust as much low shelf as you want.

Mig L When using fruity how to get a really room filling kick. What settings on compression and what other effects would you put in the fx channel to achieve this>?

**DJZeMig_L** · 29-09-2003, 07:36 PM

Maybe compress a bass and a kick together try a little cut around 170-250 Hz... if u want it really heavy.. use a filter below 40 Hz then do a boost around 40 Hz .. u get a heavy phat kick, but u really need 2 choose extra carefully yer bassline so that It doesn't crash with this!!

Try Waves Rbass .. play with the parameters but the presets are preatty good...

In fact a very good kick comes alot from the mix and carefully chosen bass... which is overlooked a lot of times

Guys I have the waves plugins and cubase sx....

I have a kick drum track then a track with mid stuff like toms etc and a track for hi's i also have a track for the bass...

How do i set up compression on the bassline and use the kick to 'distort it'

What is the configuration tracks/groups/sends/returns/insets to get a compressor working in cubase sx that takes sidechain input...

All i have been doing so far is grouping the kick and the bass into a common group channel and just running a compressor as an insert..

Any tips/step-by-steps/wake-up-calls appreciated
Thanks in advance
