Sometimes, taming a deeper bass is not that easy... no matter what the genre is....
What is the best/ur favourite compressor plugin when it comes to deeper basses?
Some examples below:

Trip Hop

Deep House

Dark Trance

Dynamic eq above, brilliant for taming all sorts


And now this as well (Set the shmod to zero to shave off those peaks effortlessley)

 

Thread needs more bass.

 

i'd use 2 comps. la2a and 1176 or ssl busscomp

 

Maybe... keeping low end in mono helps before thinking to use a compressor.

 

I rather use lowpass filter, EQ, exciter and saturation for that "deep bass".

Of course, but i assume it's on mono already, i guess everybody knows that...
My question is about compression...

 

I assume not everyone knows what low end is and how to handle it

 

That tune you just posted was recorded and mixed through outboard. Try a rack comp with transformers to help even out low freq content. I like the Buzz Audio Essence w/ lundahl. LA2 or 1176 works great too. Maybe give Nebula a try for that task and see what happens.

 

I'm not sure about "deeper" bass, but for bass in general the Waves BSS DPR-402 sounds fantastic, and I don't see it mentioned very often. It's also extremely tweakable, and the CPU usage is surprisingly minimal. There really isn't anything else like it.

I remember hearing that Massive Attack album for the first time around 2000; it was a transformative experience to say the least.

interesting will try,
thank you!

 

OFF TOPIC - but - best use of Massive Attack in film...ever.

Snatch came close.

 

Thanks for sharing man, i'm gonna try that one ;)

 

Yeah, Dynamic eq makes wonders, i gotta try that "Nova" one...

Guys, thanks for all the construtive answers ;)

 

Exciters can be very exciting. Adding perceived volume won't eat up precious headroom. Subtracting from bass wannabe neighbors vying for attention in similar bandwidth intensive pathways is always a safe and toneful, profitable endeavor. Highpass is the new black, and... is that a notch filter in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

That's a bandpass filter bro, looking to fit itself into a notch.

 

Natch!

 

This article has made the day for me. I deeply thank you for sharing this.

 

Summit Audio TLA-100A or better yet Summit Audio Grand Channel (Eq & Comp)




Top it off if it's too peaky with,
Finality Advanced

I tend to use the bpm from my tempo to set release time then Multiply or Divide it by 2, once i kinda find the groove i start fine-tuning from there.
