Haha, yes you are both right, it needs some professional attention, thanks.

Thanks BT, I'll have a look at that.
I should have mentioned, I try and play most basslines on the same string (A) for consistency and there is still quite a frequency poke on different notes. Obviously, frequencies change with notes but these seem to be too different, i.e. resonances.

Also should say that I have a rattle on the open A string that I fixed with a bit of paper at the nut.
Does that suggest the truss needs tightening?

Thanks chaps.
Is there any way I can check for these issues myself?

I normally get my guitars set up locally but I do tweak them occasionally so I can do a certain amount if the checks are simple,
I'm just not that knowledgeable about basses though.

Not to take this post off track (apologies' if I do)

I have a Fender Jaguar bass, quite nice but I really struggle to get a consistent tone from it,
By consistent I mean resonant frequencies just pop up all over the place, so much so that I will record a phrase then
changer Kemper patch (same profile but different eq, dipping out the offending frequencies)
The bass has had a set up and my room is treated pretty well.
I've used all kinds off profiles and quite often DI, different picks, thumb, finger etc.

I usually get what I want in the end but it's a right pain and kills creativity.
Any advice or workarounds please?

Haven't been on for a while but your output makes me feel tired!

All sounds great, keep on doing it mate.

My team never win 😢

Per, your stuff is really good and always interesting.
The creativity, originality and work rate far outweigh any mixing and technical shortcomings you think you may have although I think those shortcomings are in the low percentages.

The depth issue is one that's a bugger to overcome, I struggle with it all the time despite doing what I think are the "correct" moves in a mix.
I hear your frustration - producing a track to a pro standard is the biggest bugbear in my life.

Apart from my football team.

Thanks Don, actually tone matching works OK depending on the material but fair enough re the profiling, it was just a thought.
Cheers!

Could I profile my own guitar from an isolated audio track somehow?

I know I can just listen to the sound and near enough dial the sound in but specifically, could I do this and how?

I get about 2 steps in and then my brain refuses to move any further 😃

Don't know how I missed these but they are excellent!

Ah ok, yes it was a bit difficult getting the balance on those, I'll have another crack mate.

Thanks chaps.

Maybe I mean Depth not Space, it sounds a bit 2 dimensional?

Deadman, yes the vocal needs some thickening I agree.

Which samples are loud? There is some e-bow stuff quite high pitched and a bit spicatto which I should probably bung reverb on

to make less up front.

Per, I like your reverbs.

I did those drums on Superior Drummer and it took days and it still isn't right
A decent drummer would have done that with great feel in an hour or two and with a much better result.

Per, I'm from the same city as the Bunnymen.
I'd prefer the drums to be less punchy to be honest - I like the way you use your drums, they're quite organic sounding.

BT, the synth effect is a an echo tail of a guitar line looped which is in perfect rhythm for the track, in fact it gave me the idea for the song. I know what you mean about the tone- I tried warming it but there is no low end to it at all, I might try an RBass on it.

Deadman: I've thickened the mainvocal with a short reverb, and stuck a longer one on the middle vocal thanks.

OK, did all that here's the new mix and with a touch of compression.

The mix isn't quite there yet - sounds a bit 2 dimensional so any suggestions are welcomed, cheers!

Excellent, thanks mate.

Hi Paul, yes but doesn't a full back up overwrite the current Kemper or have I misunderstood?
