Best tool to level out a bassline?

So I got my bass sounding pretty slick thanks to the suggestions in the bass thread a few weeks ago but as always with bass it has a lot of volume issues. The higher notes stand out far more than the lower ones and some of my picking was a bit harder at points making them stand out too much. What plug should I be looking at to get everything a little more even? Cheers.

might want to consider a volume envelop

@scook... urm, yeah I probably will if it comes down to it but I was hoping a plug might do a faster and better job. I also would have to apply it to all three of the cloned tracks and I'm not sure if X1 allows the automation to be copied (as that seems to be being touted as a new feature in X2). Can I link the tracks and have any volume edits apply to all three? BTW... I really appreciate all you've done for me, man. You've nudge me in the right direction many many times now and it has helped a lot. I owe you many beers. ;-)

Huh. That's interesting, chuck. I'll give it a shot. A bit of chorus might actually really fit nicely into this song too. Hope you have been well.

These are all going to a bass bus but I don't think I'm quite good enough yet to do real time automation edits with the fader. Is there anyway to get at a waveform from the bus with a bounce or export? Anyway it's not really a big deal. This is kind of a throwaway tune but I'm trying to absorb as much knowledge as I can before I start working on putting together some real albums. Cheers.

id do a gain env instead of volume. and after doing that youll have to adjust your compressor again. 

if theres something i need to fix a lot of peaks in, i open it in sound forge.

Thanks, scook. I didn't know you could do that. I'm kind of curious now about sending my rhythm guitars to two separate busses so I can pan them out of the center. Is it possible to send tracks out to multiple busses? I'll be taking a closer look at it later but I don't want to start plotting and scheming if isn't gonna happen.

use sends. you can have as many as you want. set the track output to none.
