Sometimes i put a litle Compression on it when it is to soft..
To much ,will destroy the sub...
If u make your bass with a VSTi, you most likely wont need to compress it. if you had any dynamic problem with it you probably fixed it with the envelope without even noticing.
if its a streched percussion sample, than maybe you will need to compress, maybe not. depends on the sound youve used and what you want. if you want to hear and feel the end of the percussion than yes, if not than no.
Jamal wrote:Are there people? send the sub tot the Drum Group?
i always send the bass (sub or not) to the drums group and compress them togheter. drums and bass are the heart of any dance track and i want to glue them and make them move toghter. if you wont do it the bass might sometimes sound out of contect with the drums.
Jamal wrote:What kinda compressor you use fore the Drum Group, Multi etc , ore a simple one ?
personaly, i use a very expensive one. usualy i use the LA-2A or LA-3A from my UAD-1 cards. they have fixed Ratio and fixed attack and realese time, but they always sound great on the drums group.
but i can recommand some other compressor that i use that can sound very good on drums:
Golden Uni-Processor (GUP-1) by Kjaerhus audio. i always use it for sidechain the bass on the kick beacuse it adds something to the low freq's, some kind of warmt. so it can also sound realy good on drums group.
SV-315 by Sonalksis. very smooth and subtle compressor, especialy when using the soft knee.
Camel Phat by Camel Audio. this plugin is not a dedicated compressor plugin, but the compressor that comes with it sound very good and in some ways reminds the LA-2A that i usualy use.
also check Voxengo's Maequis. never used it myself, but i heard only good things. you might wanna check Sonnox Oxford dynamic. it sounds very very good, but IMO its too overpriced beacuse of its good reputation.
