i like it,and please don't take this wrong but the bass
might as well not be there because you can't hear,sense,
or feel it. the bass drum(s) yea.but not the bass guitar.
i don't know how you monitor when you record and mix. by
that i mean do you use speakers or phones or both? rarely
do i blame the bass guitar itself when this happens 'cause
i believe you can get a good bass sound from just about any
bass. but when i listen to your recordings my ears have
always screamed were's the bass? i think that because of
the heavy nature of your music that your recordings would
sound way better and way more dynamic with a more heavy
and dynamic bass sound. love the song itself though as always.

Thanks Myke \:\)

I dont have any nearfields (although I have some on order finally). I bought some headphones recently (Hi x15 austrian audio) and this was recorded and mixed on those.

The bass guitar itself is a cheap aria pro 2 passive pick up bass form around the mid '80's. It goes direct into my scarlet interface and then in reaper it's eq'd and compressed. I also have a free plugin called BOD which I used on this to add some drive to the bass. I always struggled with the bass sounding muddy, even with new strings.

I also have a small Yamaha thr10x guitar amp which I use as monitor speakers but I didn't use it on this .

I often struggle to stopp the bass drowning out the drums when Im mixing. I think my eq skills leave much to be desired still. I'm trying to change that.

Hopefully when these nearfields arrive this will help. I do wonder however it being a guitarist first simply leaves me wanting to push the guitars more lol!

BTW way, I sent the wav file, Hope you got it ok ? \:\)

Thanks for helping \:\)

Myke I went back into the mix and worked a bit on the bass. The link above has been updated. I think it should sound a bit better?
