Occasionally I will use the Fairchild 670 Compressor Plug-In on bass with great results. We used the Neve 1081 to add a touch of bass around 100 Hz and you could really hear it grab - it’s very musical and a little goes along way. I usually add a little EQ and little limiting with the LA-2A - just enough to pull it back a couple dB. Those tracks were then bussed to an Aux that had the Precision EQ Plug-In.įor the low-end bass, most of the time the processing is minimal. I started with the stock settings, which are pretty good, then played with the attack and release time so it was more in time with the tempo of the tune.
Then I pulled out anywhere from 300 to 450 Hz on each individual track where needed and added a bump of 1 or 2 dBs of 8 kHz.Īs for compression, the 1176 Classic Limiter really made the background vocals sit nicely while retaining their dynamics and adding a bit of top sparkle that minimizes EQing. I started out by filtering out low room/unwanted rumble at about 50 to 60 Hz with a moderate slope.
To me, it’s more logical to remove extraneous frequencies before boosting anything that can cause phase shift (I learned that from Ed Cherney). Needless to say, the background vocals really needed to be transparent and crystal clear. I set the EMT 250 to about 1 to 2 seconds with no pre-delay to add a bit of body and extend the drum tone. My favorites for this task are the EMT 250 Electronic Reverb and the EMT 140 Plate Reverb. The threshold was about 2 o’clock and the compression was set to about 2 or 3.įor drum ambience, I used a combo of different reverbs to create a depth of field. I didn’t want to squash it too much - just enough to where the peak of the transient is pulled back 1 or 2 dB.
