I've been trying to figure this out forever. There was a song on Sepultura's Beneath the Remains where they did that to Max and I always loved it. Thanks a million Myk! Cheers from Canaduh eh!

I did everything listed in the video the exact same way, but when i play my track, it will play it for a second then mutes, i notice along the side of the track after i do all the stuff in the video and click play once, it pops up “auto muted” how do i fix that?

[ozanmegane]

Hello, in the recording I made in Reaper, there is no fullness in the sound, it seems like the bass is weak, I get a weak output when I compare it with any song, for example, the guitars are very weak, I am not talking about stereo, the sound is good, but it is obvious that the tone is not as bassy, ​​what should I do about this?

[rollandjoeseph]

A little note..when playing back your examples, takes etc, please remove your background soundtrack/music as it confuses the listener

[Di]
