  • Jonathan Herrera Speaks Geek!

    BassPlayer.com's Jonathan Herrera has some good tips on how to use compression to get the right sound!

    Here's an excerpt:

    "IF SOMEWHERE THERE EXISTED A LIST OF EFFECTS RANKED by fun and potential for general grin-inducing mayhem, compression would likely lurk somewhere near “ground lift” deep in the nether regions of that list. Narrowing a bass’s dynamic range is simply not as immediately thrilling as the squelch of a juicy envelope filter or the buzzsaw wail of a good fuzz pedal. Yet, if the list were reordered by actual utility, not just temporary excitement, then compression would be No. 1 with a bullet. It’s undoubtedly the most frequently used effect in the studio, as essential to modern recording as the microphone. And while it may not enjoy the same popularity in most bass players’ live rigs, it’s still a key component of many a front-of-house sound system."
