Been doing some recording with my new Mac. Shared a rough track with a buddy today and listened to it in my car. Sad to say I was appalled. What was a little thumpy through headphones and a bit tubby through my Mackie near fields was positively boomy on my car stereo. Lesson 1: audition patches with something more than cans.
I tried all kinds of tricks with PEQ but to no avail. Then I remembered seeing something about using the multiband compressor to tighten up high gain patches. A bit of googling found a thread describing how and a few minutes later the boom was gone. Lesson 2: though I'd never really used the MBC before, when you need it, it's indispensable.
What's really cool is that very few players have a MBC at their disposal, let alone part of their live rig. I'll pass on "in the room" sounds when I can dial out "in the boom" sounds.
