Have you tried sending the bass through a separate bus with Overdrive on it? This can be nice as you can then blend in the two sounds, usually only a little of the od to add depth and grunt.
It might not work on this track but could sound good.
Yup, recorded a DI bass and ran that through a B7K Ultra. Really sounds good, probably mixed it too low.
Yes, and HPF that blended-in overdrive version so as not to risk any phase cancellation with the low end of the bass, which can thin it out / make it more light-weight.
My MacCrap™ speaker's mono, AJ, so I'm reluctant to make a judgement on the panning, bud.
I do believe that shortening 'verb tails for faster-paced programme material is the way to go. Don't be afraid to remove the tails altogether and use only the early-reflection component of the 'verb either.
I HPFed and LPFed it as well, Nicky, something I read Andy Sneap does.
I'll try to figure out how to shorten the reverb tail, thanks for the tip.
