Fat And Wide Bass
How To Create Fat And Wide Bass In Your Mix
Bass sounding flat in your mix?
Do you find that when you bring the bass up to the level of the guitars in your mix that it seems to dominate especially in the low end and sounds muddy?
Try this simple fat and wide bass stereo method to really make your bass pop in the mix….
Duplicate your bass track or send the signal to an aux track.
On your new track add a high pass filter in the region of 200 - 500hz. (I find a gentle slope works best)
Now add a stereo widener or pitch modulation plugin to the filtered track. (The classic method is to add chorus)
Blend a little of the resulting signal with the original track to taste.
It’s as simple as that!
