RE: anyone using SPL Vitalizer ??
there are some tricks I have been experimenting with that help keep presence in the low end without muddying and crounding the track.
1.you send your kick and bass to an aux, then compress the signal with a limiter 10.1 about 10db of reduction and then boost it 10db on the make up. I use the waves RCL. Now boost the best sounding low spot with an eq, and decrease around 800hz. high pass it even. Bring this back in under the other kick and bass and even lower the original kick as well. You should hear it fill in the bottom, and allow more bass presence but push it down out of the way.
2.this works with the higher percusion as well. just group the snare and the hats and due the same to them. use a deesser to soften them.
3.you can use the waves c1 with it set to high frequency reducer to remove extra reverb on things. I use it on loops. It gates the highs and truncates them removing the reverb tails. It can clean things up.
