Look at the size of the waveform when you zoom in on the channel, if its a shallow wave the recording itself is too quiet and you should do option 1. If it looks fine (about 1/4 of the way up and you recorded it clean then slap on a VST.
Look at all the devices (hardware and software) between your bass and your computers mastered track, try keep the volume setting the same on either side of the device or you are going to be amplifying and quietening your signal and degrading it in the process.
Put an equaliser on each channel and add an inspector that shows frequencies and adjust the equaliser so your guitar isn't stepping on the bass and the bass isn't stepping on the kick drum. |
thanks so much for this reply!
"Look at the size of the waveform when you zoom in on the channel, if its a shallow wave the recording itself is too quiet and you should do option 1"
this is definitely the problem. its a tiny/puny wave. bass vol already pegged on the active jazz. I even turn the "vol" on the virtual amp to 10, not much help. i mean i'm not even close to the waves of the other instruments (that are all good waves & all about the same as each other).
I don't know how to add a VST. i'm a total noob. I'll start googling adding a VST, thanks!

I don't know how to do this, either. but thank you so much for the reply...at least I have somewhere to start doing more research. googling "ableton live bass vol too low" doesn't work very well
