Right on, Drew! Happy to help!
And, while I do use SubSynth quite often (love that plugin), I know what you mean … it can quickly add the wrong vibe to a natural-sounding acoustic record. In those cases I might try only using the highest frequency knob of the SubSynth (50-60hz if memory serves) as that tends to sound less like an octaver. Or I might try waves R-Bass as an insert on the bass bus, which works a bit differently – more psychoacoustic than synthetic octave.
Happy bass-boosting! 🔊
