Fixed. ...

Advertising..? Back-room staff..? Fines for poor fire procedures..? I may not have all the details right, I'm not their accountant.

Cost of financing equipment and property acquisitions and rentals..? Interest rates are cripplingly high.

Listening to equivalent music through those same 'cans' should give your ears/brain the references needed for your own stuff. Put some favourite reference tracks of similar genre into Garageband and compare with your mix. Adjust to get yours to sound as good as your reference tracks to your ears. This technique works whatever one is monitoring with, even if one's own hearing is less than top-notch.

Like the bass line i played in this video
Dad3353 replied to aeonspromise's topic in General Discussion
"It doesn't matter..." I gave it two minutes. I didn't like the song, at all, nor the bass in it (well, you did ask...). Shades of Cap't Beefheart, but he and his cohorts did it better, in my view. Devoid of interest, for me, but... Do your 'thing'. Peace. Disclaimer : I'm a drummer, soooooo... -

Good evening... No, I've not listened to the linked track, as I don't, in general, click on links from sources I'm not sure of. Not to say that that link is not respectable, but, on this forum, it's usual to introduce oneself, post a little about oneself, and generally participate a bit to build up confidence in what is, after all, a rapport between complete strangers. Once you get to know some of us better, and we you, there is a much better chance of getting useful comments relating to all things bass. I hope this helps; meanwhile... Have a great day. Douglas -
If I may make the assumption that you drive a car (or ride a motorbike...), you may remember the very first time in charge. There's the whole process of starting off, then a permanent series of things that the brain and body must coordinate to make it work, safely. At first, there's the notion of braking and holding down the clutch, so as not to stall. Then the rigmarole of changing from one gear to the next, with hand and arm movements and foot control. Doing all of this thankfully becomes second nature, and after some practice, one may do these things subconsciously, with no mental effort, all the while listening to the cd player and holding down a conversation. How did that happen..? Yes, it's just good ol' solid repetition and practice. It comes all the faster if one takes it slowly, a bit at a time, without being too ambitious, too early. The more one does it, routinely, the better it becomes assimilated into one's reflexes. It's not that it's easy; it's as easy as the (small...) effort one puts into it. Anyone, including yourself, can do it, with just a little self-discipline and regular (once a day for a few minutes..?) exercise. Does this help..?

In that case, try : 'You're not going to refuse to do a video shoot, are you..?' ...

It's become rather more a concept, than any one feature, in similar fashion to a 'Hoover', or 'Frigidaire' becoming accepted beyond their original brand name. One could say the same of a Precision, or a Jazz, in the bass world.

Yes, as above, the chords seem to be G, D and Amin, so any notes from those chords will fit. You can see the chords changing from his hand positions, so just watch and listen, and you'll soon 'hear' what you're seeing. Try it, using the video, and listen to what notes you play fit best. Top tip : just play notes on the beat at first, and all will become clear.

In that case, simplify. There's no shame in playing at your best (not theirs, or the original bassist's...). Most songs can be simplified, keeping much of the 'spirit' of it all. The audience will fill in any other auditory information from their own knowledge of the song, and if they don't know it well, what does it matter..? Don't flail yourself skinless over a piece that's above your pay-grade. Play it as best you can (and practice more in the years to come, obviously...). Your ears will develop faster if you use 'em more, too, so keep working stuff out the 'old school' way.

GuitarPro does both notation and tabs, so if you have a 'dots' version, GP will create a 'tab' for you. Don't be fooled by the name, GP works well for bass, too.

Ah, Ray Cooper, maybe..? (Watch the reaction of the other players..!)

Carmine Appice, with his enormous 'in your face' 24" double bass drums.

I would suggest, from long experience, that this is patently untrue. Not to decry the benefits of reading, but the Knowledge can, and is, put to Good Use by thousands of musicians, all over the Planet, every day, with nothing written at all, nor understood even if it were. Ears, on the other hand, can be useful. Knowing, from experience, how chords are constructed, and why, rhythmic notions to recognise different styles, and play to adapt to them, improvising over a piece never before heard... All of this, and more, much more, can, and is, achieved with no idea of notation, of any sort. Reading is Good, but it is only a part of Music Theory, and maybe not the most important part.
-
It seems strange to me to see so many taking 'Music Theory' to be reading, or even sight-reading..! Although connected, one may be very proficient in theory without being able to read any notation whatever. I would suggest, even, that some knowledge of theory would be far more useful than reading (although both are Good, obviously...).

Isn't there a question of consent in there somewhere..?

Couldn't the employees make a bid for it..? If it's making a profit, there's surely a bank that could help with funding loans or such. Not an option..?
