[quote name='yorks5stringer' post='336135' date='Nov 25 2008, 11:43 AM']OP: I take your general point but is playing "slap" actually going to 'advance your training?' It's just one of a number of techniques which unless you play in a funk band, hang about Bass shops or go to Bass days(!) has limited use IMHO [/quote] IMO, slap bass is a bit like martial arts....... learn it..... but don`t use it unless you have to.....

[quote name='dood' post='336168' date='Nov 25 2008, 12:34 PM']USB 1 will be fine if you are only recording a single stereo input at say 48Khz, [b]but it looks like if you are wanting to record multiple tracks[/b] To over simplify, if you are just creating demos to burn to CD, well, CD's can only produce playback at 44Khz/16bit so it seems a bit of a waste to record at a higher bit rate, unless you are wanting to produce decent masters of your recordings for at release quality.[/quote] thanks for the detailed reply....and the simplification [b]multiple?? .....bass in one input, mp3 player in the other[/b] record it, then bung it on a cd for my bruv to have a little listen, he`s a guitarist so it aint gotta be demo quality looking at this too [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/shop/flypage/product_id/27674"]http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/shop/flypage/product_id/27674[/url] as you can download vista compatible drivers any info on that? cheers mark

[quote name='uptonmark' post='334934' date='Nov 23 2008, 03:13 PM']basically what i am looking for is some sort of (cheapish) interface with two inputs, one for my bass, one for hi-fi/mp3 player that will go straight to my pc (preferably via usb) so i can record myself playing bass along with the track i am playing along to i have audacity and my pc is vista cheers [/quote] decide on one i was gonna get [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/shop/flypage/product_id/14582/r/base"]tapco[/url] ...but it aint vista compatible am now considering this one [url="http://www.lexiconpro.com/ProductIndex.aspx?ProductID=7"]lexicon[/url] as you may have guessed, i aint no tech head so may need help on the following: how much difference will usb type make....1.0/1.1/2.0 will 24-bit/96kHz be noticably different to 16-bit/48kHz more bothered about latency than sound quality...... want it sound good but more importantly want it to sound tight cheers

just rang dolphin music they told me its [b]not vista compatible [/b]

thought i`d try here 1st gonna contact retail outlets 1st then get onto manufacturers get some good info on here so thought i`d give it a go

want to get one of these.... [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] does anyone know if they are [b]vista compatible[/b] cheers

[quote name='Protium' post='334987' date='Nov 23 2008, 04:52 PM']Inputs in the back are XLR or jack integrated into one socket.[/quote] cheers protium hopefully get my wife to get it for me for xmas

[quote name='Protium' post='334937' date='Nov 23 2008, 03:18 PM']I like the Tapco Link.USB: [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/shop/flypage/product_id/14582/r/base"]http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/shop/flypage...id/14582/r/base[/url][/quote] that looks just the sort of thing i am looking for, cheers for quick reply what type are those input connectors

basically what i am looking for is some sort of (cheapish) interface with two inputs, one for my bass, one for hi-fi/mp3 player that will go straight to my pc (preferably via usb) so i can record myself playing bass along with the track i am playing along to i have audacity and my pc is vista cheers

thanx G-77

thanx bremen come on the rest of you, more suggetions please

what i want to do is record my bass AND whatever track i am jamming along to, and save it on my pc have done so before with windows sound recorder but quality not to good, bit of fading in and out i am guessing what i need is a sound card if so, would this be easy to use for a non tech-head like me also, if it is what i need, i would prefer an external one .....any recommendations (nothing too expensive) cheers

your tutor is a guitar player first things first, as guitarists use plectrums, i hope you or your tutor dont everybody knows real bassists dont use a pick

who gives a damn, i have an authentic SX 75 jazz

the old chestnut.... just reply [b]+1[/b] to every thread

fairies wear boots - black sabbath behind the wall of sleep - black sabbath tom sawyer - rush

anything by U2 will be easy to learn

since buying this [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url] about a year or so ago i have moved house and also bought a new pc it has installed ok but i cannot use it as it requires an activation code which i seem to have lost i know its a long shot but wondered if there is a way round this, like a crack code perhaps, otherwise i`ll have to bin it have already e-mailed native instruments and no reply cheers mark
