I have that problem sometimes also. You have to keep messing with the frequencies and gain levels in the bands. Also, are you adding a compressor from the sonitus effects? That helps as well.

I don't have a problem with bass, but I know that it shouldn't overpower the rest of the mix. ----- Original Message ----- From: Omar Binno To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2007 11:19 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: 2 questions You might want to try and add a high shelf setting in your e q's.

How do you get the most out of a kick drum or a bass guitar if it's too boomy sounding? I wouldn't want to remove all the low frequencies, because then it would sound flat, but at the same time I wouldn't want to overpower the mix. 2 How would I remove hiss from a loop that I downloaded? I would like to get the most out of these loops, but some of them are messy sounding.
