Oh my, this has rather blown my cover...

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1372183054' post='2122614'] I know that when the original one was released they had some trouble with using the name Rocksmith (an established UK band had that name) so the release was delayed. I'm sure I read that the bass part was added into the UK release to make up for the delay. Hopefully they'll not relegate the bass to a backing instrument! [/quote] Yup. The earlier US version was guitar only. My Brother's friend had a copy of the US release and bass was not compatible with it.

What key is this song in? I would work it out, but I can't reach my guitar My instinct tells me AMaj, but it's been very wrong before!

Great! Can I put in a... [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1372115215' post='2121949'] Banjos are certainly out of the question, before anybody asks [/quote] Oh...

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1372110526' post='2121875'] is there a stem for that keyboard line? [/quote] What keyboard line? ....

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1372103091' post='2121697'] oooh, good taste and good tip! Where is an Aldi now? I will find out! [/quote] Being a foreign national, you are EXPECTED to know! Doesn't matter that you aren't German, Polish or Austrian, you're a bloody foreigner, and it's your job to know where to get the bloody foreigner food

[quote name='bjelkeman' timestamp='1372060030' post='2120997'] Rocksmith 2014 is coming in October and is substantially improved. The biggest issue with it now is the fairly frustrating menu navigation, but they are fixing that. I, like great harry, hadn't played for a long time, and this got me back in again on the bass. Without it I probably wouldn't be playing today. Here one can see some of the improvements in the new version. [media]http://youtu.be/JWRfbd2ebEs[/media] [/quote] f*** me, what a fantastic idea! What doesn't help is that the sales man / rep is so into it, and so good at it. It's cool though. I had toyed with the the idea of making up scale charts for messing around with, but I really wouldn't need to if I had that.

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1372085605' post='2121366'] ^ Aye! Silvia is great at plugging stuff on Twitter. She's does a fine job of it Worth bearing in mind if anyone has any gigs, releases, etc, they'd like promoting... [/quote] Very true! I nearly always click the link through, and I spend practically all of my browsing time with BassChat open! She obviously searches the forums more thoroughly than I do

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1372021628' post='2120817'] It gets [i]a lot[/i] quicker the more you do mate, so keep at it!. After a while the basics will become close to second nature, and you can concentrate more on the 'musical' aspect of mixing (rather than just getting to grips with the 'technical' side). I once heard Andy Barlow from Lamb describe mixing as being "like learning a new language" and it's very true. You start off the with the basics, but once you gain some 'fluency' it really starts to get fun. Keep on truckin', etc [/quote] It already is fun. I've just put the snare into midi and then decided to have 2 snare sounds layered, and it sounds really good now!... I won't tell you which sounds they are though!

Oh, I'm working on this now, and it just got a bit interesting... Working a lot on the drums now, but they sound good to me! Sorry to hear you don't have time for it, Rockford, but there's still plenty of time if you change your mind!

[quote name='tayste_2000' timestamp='1372001818' post='2120495'] Have you all got the address from the website? I've not had as many pm's as I would have thought given the comments? [/quote] I still need to have a rummage through all my old ones to find anything decent, but I can grab your address from the site. I was on it the other day and saw it posted, so that's fine. I'll give you a PM if you like when I'm sending them off?

Getting close to be finished with this. Sorted out the noise on the vocals. Going to clean up the drum tracks now and hopefully improve them, but everything sounds pretty good, I think! I've spent a lot of time on it (probably in the region of 20 hours), but that's probably the same as an hour or 2 from the likes of Skol or Simon or any other professional or serious amateur mixing engineer

[quote name='The fasting showman' timestamp='1372002235' post='2120507'] I'd leave it as it is, it's identical to the one I had about 6 years ago, the 1st Stingray I ever owned. I've owned 3 since and none of them has bettered it despite looking fancier. I didn't check to see if the pickup on mine was wired in series. Is it worth trying this mod on a stock Stingray? After years of butchering and tinkering with basses I err on the side of leaving them alone now other than setups or repair, I had always wondered why the Sub sounded less scooped though. [/quote] It's only beneficial if you want the sound wiring in series will give you. Series wiring increases the output and gives a more middy fattened up tone. If you were playing a lot of slap, you would obviously want a mid scoop, so parallel would be a good idea (although not necessary). If you want a real middy burp, with increased output (effectively louder, or drives a valve amp more easily) you want series. Simples I prefer series wiring. Any bass I've ever bought though has been in parallel.

Also, it's way past May! Are you going to wait 11 months to respray it!?

[quote name='MisterFingers' timestamp='1371973051' post='2120105'] The EXS24 can import all sorts of file types - from wav/aiffs to 3rd party hardware sample sets (like Akai). The cheapest way to get a hold of new drum sounds is to browse a webstore like Loopmasters and buy/download your choice. Open up the Edit menu in the EXS24 and import all the drum sounds you want at one time, and it will automatically map and span the individual hits to keys. For multi layered drum sounds try and get a hold of sets that are in a .exs format or other sampler format and the plug-in should read them ok and automatically assign all the correct velocity wavs under each key. There actually some okay kits already bundled with the EXS24, but you might not have them if you didn't get the Logic Pro Studio bundle. [/quote] Thanks!

Oh, you just can't help yourself, can you? These guys can help you - Bassaholics anonymous - 0800 455 BASS! I like it though! It looks good!

[quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1371921324' post='2119660'] i may have missed this in the thread, but am i the only one that seems to have some really nasty spikes in some of the tracks? [/quote] What do you mean by that? There are parts of the tracks which seem to get quieter and louder, and the vocal track has clicks/scratches on it, other than that, can't say I have "spikes" in the track.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1371915018' post='2119561'] The sampler plugin that comes free with Logic. [/quote] Yeah, I don't know much about it. How can I get decent samples on to that plugin? I thought really the only midi drum machine in Logic was really just UltraBeat.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1371913484' post='2119534'] How about a decent set of samples for ESX24? [/quote] Oh, what's that?

Looking for a decent sounding acoustic drum kit plugin that will work in Logic. Do you guys know of any? I've had a quick look around, but saw nothing, so I thought I would ask people in the know (That's you guys).

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1371898326' post='2119283'] he says he will pass it around some of his bass playing pals who knows ....might even end up with GP [/quote] DON'T JINX IT!

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1371894187' post='2119204'] It's all about the girth!! Mr Foreman, sir. Cheers for the comments guys. Great to see it taking shape. I'll keep y'all updated as stuff happens... [/quote] Great! and Silvia has just shared this thread on the BassChat Twitter page! (Hello, any of you folks from Twitter )

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1371863898' post='2119035'] That lower horn is tiny! [/quote] Shhh! He's kind of insecure about it

Looking good, Paul! But as the foreman, I'm obliged to say the following - It's grand, I suppose, but you best hurry on, we're looking this done by the end of next week!

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1371801736' post='2118209'] is it back daaaarrn saaarff yet? i have a gig this saturday which i could treat the bass to (the venue manager tells us there are five hen parties booked in for that night!) [/quote] Sorry, it's still in Falkirk, and will be for the next week or so. It would have been great if you could play it at a gig with 5 hen parties though!
