hello everyone, I have a problem when I record my BASS GUITAR.
I have a set up as follows:
[BASS GUITAR] ---TO-- [YAMAHA NE1 PARAMETRIC EQ] ---TO---
[DBX 266XL COMPRESSOR] --TO-- [VS 880XLWORKSTATION]
After i have set the parametric eq to the tone i want, i set the compressor(i want to keep it fixed in the mix so i set it: about 15db of redution, with 8:1 ratio and auto attack/release on)
The problem is this, I get a "bubbling" sound, (like blowing through a straw in ya drink) when i play the bass where the auto release come on/off on/off on/off... and i dont know how to stop it (yes i did turn the auto off
but it still happens even when i set it manually)
I want to get a nice clean polished tone( something like a Seal track or a early nineties madonna justify my love, erotica etc) basically a clean r'n'b tone.
What am i doing wrong? Am i missing something in my set up or have i got them in the wrong order, or wrong compressor set up?
please please please help me.
