thanks guys for replies. A lot of these tips I've tried already. Good to see others have noticed the volume issues, as well.

Are you using the exact same Bass as you did in your previous demo?
Were they both MIDI, RealTracks or a mixture of both.
Definitely not all Bass instruments are played the same across all RealTracks, even MIDI.

I generally use realtracks, but sometimes I guess I'll
accept the midi. No cant say I was using the exact track.



rharv t occurs to me going from BB to DAW is a digital conversion. Did the external recorder involve transforming digital to audio before getting recorded?
Just wondering if how your particular DAW is converting the WMA files may be part of the issue.

I don't think I explained well. The recorder had an onboard bass vst. I played through that. The recording
was played back to head phones direct from the recorder { not going to my DAW{} I was struck by the excellent tone and clarity of the bass notes.

these issues and ones responses to sounds, are all subjective of course.

I listened to some of my other past projects today.

Not all the bass tracks are too low. BUT the ones where I can hear it at seemingly good mix level --- the bass seems muddy. It's like I hear a pressure of low end bass notes, but can't really distinguish the individual notes. Does that make sense?

That may me a larger problem I think.

thanks
