"As another example, I always roll off everything below about 80Hz on a guitar track and just let the bass fill that void. When I listen to the that guitar track by itself, it might sound a little thin, but when the bass is playing along with it, the two sit along side of each other allowing both to be heard clearly. As you apply this approach across your mix, you will begin to see how it can clean everything up by reducing the amount of overlapping frequencies from track to track."

What about times when the bass is silent? You wouldn't want the guitar to sound thin then.

Is that when you need a 'side chain trigger' to apply the eq notch to the guitar only when the bass is actually sounding?
