The thing I notice most about pro recordings is that instruments have their own space in the stereo spectrum. You had been talking about bass guitar. One thing I haven't seemed to get yet is how to get the bass to take up a narrower slice of the pie in that field. I hear these recordings where the bass is quite powerful and yet sits in such a small area dead center, almost coming from above.
As I lay a bass, it seems a little wider and unfocused. Guess that would be a good word. Unfocused. Kinda blurred. What is actually giving these instruments this pinpoint position in the whole stereo field?
