I haven't turned every stone in the world, but it does work better than anything I have come up with.

I got great results with MaxxBass in the past and have tried in vain to duplicate those results. So with Reaper, the possibilities are.Endlessss (lol)!! To illustrate that, there's a couple of videos about parallel processing but to introducte you to this technique let's say that you have to process a bass guitar :ġ) duplicate this track (or send the original track to another) befor the fx chain, this way you can process the orignal source independently(!!) or, you can put a first process to get some repair works done first and then send it to another track.Ģ) folder-buss them to control their volume as a whole.Ģ) you can process a particular frequency (eq) range, put a compressor to make it thicker or to control a sepecific frequency range, you can had some drive on that frequency range or do a 'emphasise-de-emphasise' processing etc-etc.ģ) you can repeat this process and have 4-5 parallel track processing the same track cause maybe you want, in particular part of your song,to have a specific processing so you will have to have to automate the parallel track to suite to your needs at this time. With Reaper, thanks God they created this DAW, you can easily (but not effortless.) with parallel processing : you can isolate the bass part before the Master channel to process it.Īt the mixing stage, you can isolate (busses) the bass tracks (kick, bass.) or route them by 'functionnality' or frequencie ranges so you can balance/process them to suite to your needs and keep a hand on them til your Master Bus. Secondo, you have to deal with the dynamic of the bass regarding what you want to achieve (punchy, heavy, subby.) in the context of the whole mix as always.

So, when you work on the bass part of a general mix or, at the mixing stage, but it's the same thing, you have to consider the whole mix too, you have to consider the genre of music you dealing with to 'imitate' the same feeling you want your mix first. They talk about 'adding bass harmonics or something.', so a 'mysterious' sauce to give some good bass to your mixes.Īs far as I know or experienced, sound technician/engineer have to deal with volume/frequencies/time and, since stereo works, the stereo field.

MaxxBass is not indispensable in fact it is 'expandable' (expensive.)!!īTW, Waves didn't explain what this plugin really does isn't it or I missed someting?!
