Download my signal-chain (presets) for mixing bass guitar
If any of this was too complicated for you, I’ll be providing you with presets that I use for both my bass guitar tracks and my bass guitar sub-mixes. HOWEVER, I still encourage you to learn how to mix your own projects for the long run. Okay?
I won’t always be there to supply you!
That being said, here are the download links:
You’ll obviously need Logic Pro X to use these and possibly Vulf Compressor. However, you can easily replace Vulf Compressor with any other “effect” compressor of your choice.
Before leaving you though, I really want to make the distinction between what I refer to as “utility” compressors and “effect” compressors. Your DAW’s default compressor most likely doesn’t sound like anything special.
That’s because these compressors are simply designed to get the job done without inherently changing the timbral qualities of your music.
However, you’ll want to use at least one “effect” compressor at some point in your mix to start changing to overall qualities of your sound. I personally use (and abuse) Vulf Compressor because it just takes everything to another level.
It also has that “vintage” vibe which I can’t get enough of!
On that note, I’ll be leaving you with an offer. If you feel overwhelmed by the amount of work ahead of you, you can schedule your 1-on-1 session with me where I’ll guide you through the mixing process one step at a time.
It’s for those of you who’d rather have someone “show them the ropes” instead of learning everything on your own.
You can schedule your session with me on our contact page!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge of application of compressor setting for bass..yes..adjusting the input knob..until the reduction meter shows -3 to -6 is the final key factor…
Hey Lenny,
It’s my pleasure, I’m glad you found the tutorial useful!
You got it, too much compression (unless it’s intentional) will make your tracks sound “blown out”.
Thanks for your comment, all the best!
