Hi guys,

What are your favorite tip on making the bass sound good in mixes? I do a
lot of different music styles from, plain rock, to RnB to house/transe...
but I always seem to screw up in the mix, especially the bass.

I find it extremely difficult make the bass sound, warm, with the right
attack, and not "smearing" out the mix so to speak... Strangely enough I've
gained best results when using an empty EXS24 sine...

Anyone?

Regards,

Obi

I've noticed that recording a bass guitar does seem to have a lot more punch 
than synth basses  - especially the softsynth basses. I record it straight 
in, using a DI,POD,or other guitar box.
