I am now using a convultion reverb. I am not sure where a channel eq comes in line but I assume it's before being bussed to the reverb. There are some good peices of advice here. I am going to keep trying to improve.

Thanks.

You know, I'm not sure I agree with myself when I say "especially on bass drums," because they're used so sparsely and are therefore not likely to be causing your boominess problems.

That's the way it is!

Dietz, as part of VSL, be honored too (begrudging is not positive).

We love your VSL library, would even say Bruce is a fan of it. Since
a couple of months MixMasterDeluxe's standard question is:
"Are this strings made with VSL?", well, the question sounds more
like a request, almost a order... [:)]

Thank You!!!

I have to admit - I'm seriously impressed.

Man, I´d really love to hear how Swedien is mixing the VSL stuff. No chance of posting something? Or could you send me something privately?
I´d really appreciate that!

Mathis ---> No chance of posting something?

Angelo ---> Mathis, i can't do that. Once the first production using VSL is in the store, i may place a link to a *.mp3 or two.

Just rolloff the very low frequencies (50Hz down), then compress the bass and turn it up.It works for me...

Welcome Keybo -

I think a (hard, steep) roll-off below 50 Hz is taking away too much real bass. Especially for a "cinematic" experience my mixed go further down for almost an octave (i.e. I roll off at 25-30 Hz). Any monitoring system deserving that name should be able to reproduce this frequency range, at least above 35 Hz.

Compressing the low-end is crucial for a tight bass, in this case you're absolutely right.

Kind regards,

I am not talking bass guitar. I am talking timpani, basses, tuba, bass drum etc... that covers a wide spectrum of mics or mix channels making it a little more complex.
