The Logic Off Topic list

Hey,

On that first song, I would say the bass is a bit muddy.  When a bass sounds
"muddy" in the mix, I try cutting around the 250 to 500 Hz area.  Just fiddle
with it and see what you think.

I think the low end is good... 80 to 150 Hz.

And remember, the frequencies between around 700 to 1200 Hz contain
what you might call the "string plucking" sound of the bass... plus there are
a lot of harmonics in that range that actually help the listener recognize
the actual pitch of the bass notes.

FWIW,
Brian
