Hi,
I'm using Shreddage Precision Bass - "Clean Punch" Preset, or even the default preset - and there's a weird buzz coming out.
I can't hear the buzz through the monitors, but only through the headphones (I tried a couple of them to make sure the problem isn't with my headphones, but with the VST).
The buzz comes from both channels, but more from the right.
Is this a known problem?
Do I need to change some of my settings, or should I fix/eq this when mixing?
Thank you 🙏

An audio example of what you're hearing would be welcome.

Yes, you're right. I thought about that after I posted it 🙏
Here is an example - in this example you can hear the buzz on the right channel.

Hmmm, I'm not hearing anything unexpected on the right channel, sorry to say... The bass sounds as expected here.

So this is how a real bass track should sound like?
It's interesting, I have some bass session tracks that were recorded for me (with a real bass, not a VST), and I just listened to them again - some of them do have this buzz, but some of them don't have it and they're clean.
Does this mean that the clean ones were EQed or processed?

Perhaps I didn't express myself well enough: I meant to say I don't hear ANY sort of buzz in the audio you've sent...

This is far from how a buzzy bass would sound (which usually means low action height and/or hard picking/plucking of the strings, rather than any sort of EQ).

Oh, I thought you meant that's how a bass is supposed to sound like, with a buzz :)
Just making sure - did you listen with headphones or with monitors? I only hear it with headphones.
The buzz I'm talking about sounds like excessive vibrations of the string, not like a hard plucking of the strings (BTW I noticed that the hard plucking sound gets louder if I turn the velocity of "Precision" up, but I'm not talking about that).
Thank you again 🙏

I of course checked with both monitors and headphones. The instrument sounds as intended.

I listened to more bass tracks today, and none of them have such a vibration/resonance.
Personally, it bothers my ear - but maybe I'm missing something that should be done with it in the mixing stage.
In any case, it's good to know that this is how Precision is supposed to sound (and if we put that buzzing sound aside, the sound of Precision is great in my opinion).
Thank you for the help, I appreciate it!

I really don't know what you mean. There is no buzzing that can be heard at all in the example you posted...
