This theme was very different in the 90s when I watched it. Still cool, though! Might also have a go at that one ๐Ÿ“šโœ๏ธ๐Ÿซ

What should I cover next?

5. Choose your strings wisely โ€“ Flatwound or tapewound strings tame the highs and deliver a warm, vintage-style bass tone with extra depth.

4. Sidechain the kick โ€“ Light sidechain compression ducks the bass slightly when the kick hits, creating space and making the groove feel tighter.

3. Fingers instead of pick โ€“ Playing with your fingers naturally rolls off some highs, giving you a rounder, less obtrusive sound that sits better in the mix.

2. Use a light touch + compression โ€“ Digging in too hard can add unwanted attack. A gentle touch, combined with compression and EQ, keeps things warm and controlled.

1. Play closer to the neck โ€“ This brings out more low-end and reduces harshness for a smoother tone.

Want a deeper, smoother bass guitar tone for hip-hop and other genres? ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡

3. Explore different tones for different guitars. If layering multiple guitars, change pickup selections, use different amps, or tweak playing techniques to create contrast rather than overlap.

2. Spread rhythm guitars across the stereo field by panning them left and/or right. This creates distance from the lead guitar or lead vocal and reduces distraction from this focal point.

1. Two guitars playing simultaneously are likely to compete in the mids - notch out a small range in one to let the other shine. In the writing stage, think about playing rhythm and lead guitars in different octaves to minimise clashes.

Recording multiple guitar parts can cause frequency clashes that make your mix less defined and clear, but you can avoid it with smart arrangement and mixing techniques: ๐Ÿงต

What are your music goals for next year? Iโ€™m aiming to release something every month and to work with a bunch of new musicians. Looking forward to hitting the ground running!
