    This ^ In that past year I've seen hollie cook, katchafire, Lee scratch Perry, black seedsamongst others. The bass player is always plying a steinberger.

    There are many who would disagree to that, as it entirely depends on the genre you play and the volume you play at, as well as many other factors such as quality of PA etc. Compression plays a key part in making a band sound cohesive from the listeners perspective. I take your point however that playing covers in a pub might not have any requirement for a Cohesive, well mixed sound. At the end of the day the punters go home happy after dancing the hell outa some rendition of Uptown funk, and you go home happy having provided said funk. i get that. But not all of us play pubs. My usual venues are Music Clubs/bars playing original music. Agreed that the number 1 priority is always to be "tight" but Its also important to create a sound that is enjoyable to listen to, not the "wall of sound" you hear in most pubs today. Well used compression and EQ are the cornerstones of achieving this.

    Yes of course individual artists might have preferences not to compress. But if the compression aplied is killing the dynamics, then its being overused.
  12. GisserD
    I think its important to remember that Compression can be used as both an Effect.... and a tool. I feel most people are either wanting one or the other, but not usually both at the same time. I feel some are trying to use it as a tool, but are expecting to hear results as if using effects. IMHO Compression should not be heard in a mix. If it is then its being used as an "effect". I have some experience with studio production and know how ESSENTIAL it is to compress a bass track. Its for the same reasons that i use a compressor on my board. To even out the dynamics, and bring out the subtleties in the playing. Anyway...Ive been reliably informed that every pop/rock recording from the last 40 years has compression applied to the bass track (by professionals), and who am i to argue

    In my seemingly never ending quest for low gain overdrive, i came across the Strymon Deco. Marketed as a tape saturation AND a double-tracker which to my ears sounds pretty sweet as a low gain overdrive. I was wondering if anybody had any experience with one of what peoples opinions are of it compared to other low gain ODs there is a nice demo here, specifically demoing the saturation side starting at the 3.00 mark... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGqnpFxq9D8 for me it hits the mark just past the 12o`clock point, just bordering into breakup. Ive been keeping my eye on this pedal for a whyle now, hoping to snap one up on the used market as i feel it may be what ive been after. But at £299! new its NOT cheap. The tape effects on the other side might be of some use one day in the studio, but im not sure they are relevant for bass in a live setting. And im pretty happy with my Keeley 30ms as a double tracker. anyway, keen to hear what the community thinks.....

    i just made the same switch in the opposite direction. I found the spectracomp to sound useful when playing live/in a band mix. But just couldn't get on with it in the studio. No matter how i had it set i just couldn't get it to sound punchy and expressive at the same time. I was also frustrated by the editor!! That and the fact that i couldn't "trust" it, made me want to shift it on for something more transparent, with metering and a clean blend. and the empress fits the bill perfectly. Its punchy and balanced, the metering is superb!!! So much so that i use it a lot to set up my gain staging between pedals using my ES-8 to switch it in between temporarily. Works like a charm!
