Mixing prog and heavy metal basses in Incertitude

I got a lot of positive feedback about the sound of the bass in Incertitude. I cheated, it's in fact two basses! Anyway, I didn't do anything fancy, so I show how I mix them here.

Nice work! Good mixing moves.

Thank you!

Two Basses is the way! I always have two bass sounds, or sometimes I layer not a bass on top of the bass for definition and fun. That sounds awesome, also that AI Eq did the dang thing, love it!

Yeah, I now have 3 basses from Submission Audio, all different and great, plus whatever patches in synths. I have a couple more if I ever need for non-metal stuff but I have no use for them now. Regarding the EQ, I purchased their smart:EQ on version 2 and it helped me to improve my EQ moves because I was able to understand what their EQ curve was doing. Nowadays I outgrew smart:EQ and don't use it anymore, but I have 3 of their little "pure" plugins (EQ, compressor and unmask). Unmask is just a great tool! EQ and Compressor are to be used just like I did here. Need some to work quickly: done! although I do prefer 1176 and LA2 for compression duties.

What do you mean 'mixing the bass'? Aren't you just supposed to mute it? 😂 Jokes aside, great tones!

I have a script that mutes the bass before exporting the track.
