Metal Bass Tone - How to Make It Awesome [Reaper Tutorial]

The bass in metal is the glue between the bottom end of the drums, especially the kick, and the mids of the guitars. Distorted guitars don't glue well with an unmodified bass tone, it needs it's own distortion, applied just right. The standard of processing metal bass is to split it into three parallel tracks based on frequency, and treat those three tracks differently. When they are merged back together, they will make the perfect bass tone that glues with your guitars and with your drums.
