  • Don't add long reverb to bass sounds unless you have an artistic reason to do so,for example in bass solos,as this tends to blur the low end of the mix. If you need to add space to a kick drum, try a short ambience program or a gated reverb as an alternative. If you are in a position where you need to apply reverb to an entire drum mix, roll off the low end of the reverb for a cleaner sound.
  • Have you ever used a stereo chorus on a bass sound and ended up with a muddy bottom end swimming all over the place? To solve that problem you need to use chorus effect specially designed to be used with bass,than you can avoid that problem by separating the bass and treble frequencies, where you set the cutoff frequency. The effect is only applied to the treble portion, which is then mixed back with the bass for output.Excelent VST plugin "bass chorus" can be found here:
