The Most Reliable Solution for Smooth Bass Lines
Bass is the foundation of most tracks. But mixing bass is a challenge, because low frequencies are hard to reproduce and hear. Heavy compression is a workaround, but it alters the attack, tone, and sustain. Automating levels manually can sound better, but it\u2019s tedious and imprecise.<\/p>\n
Bass Rider provides consistent bass levels throughout your track, by controlling the bass\u2019s gain automatically to maintain a steady target level. And because there\u2019s no dynamics processing, the sound quality remains pristine.<\/p>\n

Even slight level variations can cause bass to drop out of a mix. Bass Rider monitors your bass track, and raises or lowers its level automatically to keep your bass at a specified target level.<\/p>\n
Some bass players lack a pro\u2019s precise, steady \u201ctouch\u201d that gives consistent levels. Bass Rider compensates by evening out individual note levels. This balances the overall bass sound, and helps the bass sit better in a mix.<\/p>\n
Engineers often use compression or limiting to solve a bass\u2019s level issues\u2014but such processing can crush the dynamics. With Bass Rider doing the heavy lifting, you can use compression more subtly, just for its character\u2014while keeping your bass\u2019s dynamics.<\/p>\n
Bass Rider is optimized to work with all basses\u2014electric, acoustic, synth bass, upright, anything. But it\u2019s also useful for other sounds, like kick drum, or conditioning guitar to deliver a consistent signal level to amp sims.<\/p>\n
Bass Rider can ignore sounds you don\u2019t want leveled, like string buzz and squeaks. And when playing live with a mic\u2019ed amp or upright bass, set up Bass Rider to suppress spillover and leakage from other instruments.<\/p>\n
