Re: what screws up bass in VSTi?

My son actually gets great little compositions using Autotune and FL Studio. Him and his friends fear the mighty Analogs in thier mixes. It comprimises the sound of the digital synths and ticky tacky percussion..
But there's no reason not to use Native IMHO.
I use DSP, Native and Analog. Just don't use Native for anything trying to emulate Analog.
Omnisphere is a great sounding application and compliments Analog in a mix or live.
But it just doesn't warm up SPL's on speakers very well.
I learned about this from using large mid-fields and PA cabs live. The Scope synths and Analog are just ballsy and Native cuts through really nice but I could never see using it for an entire mix by itself.
Just to get the speakers to move and pump out some SPL's requires boosting it and then the real low end qualities are muffly, so why polish a turd.....?? Just
Keep Native in the E2 and above ranges and let Analog pick up the heavier stuff.
But there is one thing Native does in a low end mix that rivals Analog.
Take any sound and then use a HPF to trim off the high end content and reveal the SubFreq's only. This is great when you want really low end content and the Analog is just too Boomy...

Try this trick with Assafs free filter. It works better on DSP stuff but the free filter is your basic synthmaker stuff that can be made quickly. Just add some pretty pictures and you could sell it to toy collectors at KVR.
I wanted to make a reverb on my day off where a picture of the Grand Canyon was used for the largest space, and when you want smaller spaces by moving the decay knob counter clockwise it would trigger newer pictures of smaller canyons, and eventually work your way down to sewers and bathtubs. The kids would love it and I could scam them like other developers do.
