If, by vibration, you mean a buzzing in the bass tone that wasn't there before, you've either overloaded one of the gain stages in the compressor, or you're hearing artifacts from having it adjust the gain too quickly. If this is the case, try reducing the gain coming in to the the compressor, the output gain from the compressor, or make sure that the attack and release aren't set below 5 Ms. If the tone sounds just the same, but it is just too heavy in low frequencies, then you need to roll off the low end with an EQ. The per-track EQ should already have band one set to a low shelf EQ at 80Hz with a gentle slope. Reduce the gain by about 6 DB. If that doesn't do it, then also increase the frequency for that band from 80HZ to 180HZ to cover more of the low frequencies and leave you with more body/fret sound from the bass.

I have a small problem. I created a track and used one of the bass guitars on the motif xs. I apply eq and compression but the vibration on the bass is quite heavy. Any ideas on wich frequency I could cut or something? The bass sounds nice just the heavy vibration is a problem.
