Hello.
I am in the process of recording a song, but it is lacking bass guitar. I read on multiple sources that I can use my guitar to record bass by recording the bassline with clean guitar tone and then pitchshifting -12 semitones.
I understand the idea behind that. I just want to be able to get the bass to sound more 'part of the mix'. At the moment it just sounds isolated.
I am also trying to get a bass tone similar to that of Trivium, As I lay Dying, Godsmack etc. A slightly distorted tone that doesn't overwhelm the mix, but still plays a significant role in its success.
If there are any VST plugins or plugins I can use for MP Pro tools 9 in order to get that specific tone, please let me know. Also please provide some advice on EQing and mixing the bass. The tone doesn't have to be exactly like other bands, I just want something in that region.
Thanks in advance.
