Bass Question

Hi,

I'm having a problem with a bass pattern. I use a Subbass and a bassline when I listen both in solo mode they sounds good, but in the mix qhen they reach the higher notes of the patter they go "out of control" I mean hte higher notes seems to sound higher and even unpleasant. Does everyone have had the same prblem? what can I do to solve this?

Compress? EQ? change patches?


thanks in advance

I'll post a sample when I get home.

I think I know what you mean, have you tried lowering the velocities of the higher bass notes? I usually have to do that when creating octave jumping basslines. That and EQ would be useful, but as mentioned before, just upload a quick sample so we can have a listen.

I have two answers :

1) I am guessing you need to sidechain them with the kick.

2) You can look up the art of "psycho-acoustics" in the net, as it might help you...

Good luck figuring it out !

turn key tracking off.

Poor melody construction is usually the problem, go back and work with some other bassline melos.

yeah what steff just said is normally the main reason why people cant make good basslines. try a simple of beat bass pattern over a bar and before thinking of eq compression ect. use the piano roll and hunt for different notes and take it from their.
