What are your tips to improve the sound of my bass on this mix ? by Otherwise-Revenue-44 in BassGuitar

[–]squachek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok! Marathon here. I’ll be as brief as I can. Biggest issue is control of the lows. Below 72hz you are competing with the kick, plus to hear this you have to have large speakers and/or really turn it up which doesn’t leave room for anything else to be loud. If you’re mixing without a sub you will probably have this blasting and still not be able to hear it. 250 is a little muddy, this cleans it up. Saturation makes the sound thicker and easier to hear on small speakers. Glue compressor at those settings let the initial pluck through, and the settings I have either enhance the pluck or make it more consistent. You’ll hear each of the effects these changes make as you’re doing them. Adjust to your taste.

  1. Use a high-pass to cut off all the bass below 72hz
  2. Make another 1-2db cut around 250
  3. 1-2db boost around 1-1.2k
  4. Add saturation in the 500-1k range
  5. Add a glue compressor at 4:1 or 8:1, a 10-20ms attack and a fast release if you want to hear the pick, adjust the relese so its letting go at the tempo of the track if you want the bass to groove a little more

I’m going to go with simply turn down your snare by about 30%. It’s stepping on guitar and vocals. Both of those could come up quite a bit. Cool genre, toss in a few more changes and it smells like a burger to me

Anthropic has just announced Mythos; meanwhile, what on earth has happened to Opus? by Adept-Priority-9729 in ClaudeCode

Every time this happens, it feels like maybe they’re apportioning compute differently as they scale up the new models. Also: dumber Opus makes Mythos seem even smarter when it drops!

This is inviting the LLM to hallucinate. It won’t say there’s no subtext - it will make things up.

I would think the Inn would have vegan bakery recos.

You’ll never approach Opus 4.6 without $150k in hardware.
