    I will be in the process of mixing my CD in a week or two. I play progressive rock/metal.
    I am using Drumkit from Hell 2, and all bass tracks have been recorded with Shecter 5 string bass guitar.

    Any tips and tricks about processing bass guitar and drums?
    Bass guitar and bass drum are very close in frequency range, so that makes it kind of difficult to achieve a perfect balance in the mix.
    I am trying to get a bass drum sound ala: Mike Portnoy(Dream Theater), Lars Urlich(Metallica), or Vinie Paul(Pantera). I like that percussive nature of their tone. One other aspect of that tone is that you can perfectly hear double bass action through all the instruments in the mix. I am guessing it's a combination of EQ and compression. Any tips?
    Thank you.
