Shockwave: Don't Care

[COX]

You guys are probably right, nice suggestion on the Vertigo VSM-3, I do like that thing unfortunately I can't dump another $100 into a plugin (if you have a cheap version you can direct me to that would be great). 

What I did do was re-amp it through a little Home built Fender Champ clone I have sitting here Mic'd with a cheap mxl R40 ribbon that was all set up and added that to the existing sound I had.  You can hear the difference in the intro where the Bass is all alone. 

Is it overly bright or have to much low end?

There is a big change in the EQ on my monitors and this is the first time I have attempted to use it. My ears are a bit messed up from such a dramatic change, see attached graph. Greens are before oranges are post ARC3 EQ. 

Thanks for your input!!

Hi DcrtRoss, Try to use Gsat+ is free saturator plugin (GSatPlus | TBProAudio) is not really equal to vsm3 but a good plugin to add saturation.
Now I ear the defference on the Bass and It's better (the last revision) just a last check..... try to use a complemetary eq between kick e bass to improove again the lowend.
If you are not sure of your monitor system help yourself using a Earphone that you know comparing your reference song to check the way of your mix.
