[LAU] get on board the blues - D&B variant

[Robin Gareus]

Hi Dave, everyone.

Since this is so much fun, I've inflated my upright-bass and made a Dave
& Bass mix.

Alas, I am stuck now how to make this bass sound nice on cheap speakers
-- if that is possible at all.

I had a really good /round/ bass-sound on my monitors and headphones,
then I noticed that on e.g. thinkpad speakers it was not audible at all.
So I cut everything below 50Hz, increased 120Hz and 300Hz by around 8dB
and added quite some compression to it. Now it sounds OKish on most
speakers that I have access to but not really great on any on them.. Any
hints?

The Ardour3 session is available from

(117MB) -- It also includes a funky guitar track not added to this D&B
mix. The original guitar did not go well with this bassline.

best,
robin

PS. Someone stole my tambourine, otherwise I'd have added one :)
