The Bass On Privateering

[MisterYES]

The audio tracks where I feel the bass frequencies stronger are: Go love / Radio City Serenade / ......submariner. What do you think?

"Go, Love" in particular (but RCS also) is a very quiet song. In terms of playing alone. So maybe when they we're leveling volumes up, it got "boosted" even too much...(I personally doubt in that scenario, but technically, can' t think of an other reason either)

I go back to this topic again, beacuse I to felt that many songs on privateering got too much bass.

At first I thought it was my audio car system which was a bit too cheap, but yesterday I lsitened to the Love over gold album VERY LOUD in the car (ahhhh..... the (fretless?) bass lick at the end of the title track), and I didn't get any sturation or distortion, the bass were round, but clear, while it's not the case on Go love or submariner where I got some "noisy" sounds

would it mean that the Love over gold album was better mixed back in early 80's, than the recordings in modern studios ?

I like the way MK's recent albums have started to sound. Not too polished like most of the records MK or DS have released. I like that there are dynamics between different songs.

Yes I agree, but saturation and distortion in the bass is not a good sounding option IMHO
