Is this sticky thread not of use? http://basschat.co.uk/topic/87414-how-to-make-a-good-looking-and-sounding-youtube-video/

The best thing to do is try it. Just make sure your Ω are good for the amp. If it was a guitar rig you was using, I'd say play lightly with the left, but bass gear usually covers the same frequency range as PA. I used my MarkBass as church PA a few times. Playing guitar, bass & edrums through it as well as music from mp3s.

There's a thread in the FX section dedicated to using iOS gigging rigs to replace your fx & amp. I'll likely go down this route if I go gigging (more likely to be the macbook & audio interface for me though as I have NI guitar rig & Logic Pro X on there).

Ooh. I think I might get to use some clavinet with wah this month.

I'm a musician. Bass just happens to be my fave instrument to play. I play more at home than I do in a band these days & enjoy writing songs, though I do play keys more than any other instrument nowadays. So much so, I'm thinking about becoming the keys player in the band. If I wasn't in the band, I'd still play bass.

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1464786904' post='3062512'] Speaking of which for next month if I plugged two basses into one amp and played them at the same time is that ok or a sneaky way to get around the one track rule? [/quote] If you video it as proof, I'd vote for you!

It's like at my work, they have a monthly draw & you nominate people. The organisers said "You can vote for yourself", but to me, it's not the done thing. Not one for blowing my own trumpet.

Looking forward to seeing the pic. Hopefully something funky sci-fi?

Well done Monrats. Great track. Stellar work from all the entries.

I've just spent the past wee while going through all the tracks & if someone wants to make an awesome sic-fi movie, then this is the entire soundtrack! I've got a job trying to choose just 3.

I suppose you've just found that watts have little to do with volume. Just like 200bhp can vary from vehicle to vehicle on how fast it goes.

Finally got a noodle. Does anyone else find that when you're not recording, you play smoothly, but the minute you hit that record button... Anyway, I actually came up with this when playing along with a DADGAD thing a guitarist was doing. They went well together. https://soundcloud.com/gxmix/soba Didn't intend on keeping the click track there, but now I know it bounces if you don't turn it off.

The best way to protect it is to write a song about Scotland winning. There's many ways to officially copyright a song, but I believe it automatically gets copyrighted as soon as you've got your recording. Getting it out there? Try social media such as Facebook, twatter, Youchoob, etc. Hit the team's media pages with links & do lots of networking. Good luck with it.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1462782831' post='3045553'] I've considered mounting my keyboard on a Segway [/quote] Well when you get older you could attach it to a zimmer.

I'll try & record a bit of bass later this afternoon.

I've managed to get mine a little better. I wasn't completely happy with the lead sound, so I've stuck a little dirt on it & added a 2nd instrument & mixed things a little better. https://soundcloud.com/gxmix/a74 Looking forward to listening to everyone's tracks next week.

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1463423084' post='3051270'] It's been seven hours and fifteen days. [/quote] Since she took her bike away.

They sell mattress protectors in the BC shop?

What about putting flatwounds on it?

Here's mine, mixed & mastered. https://soundcloud.com/gxmix/a74 I may go back for a further bit of mixing & mastering if I get time.

That's a crackin' idea, naming all the instruments & DAW used. It's good to know what people are using. I think I might follow in your footsteps with that one & hope many others do too.

I've made a start. Being a Sci-Fi fan, I get plenty of ideas from this pic (maybe too many).

It was supposed to be a "remix" of a song, but after playing about & making a track that sounded like Enigma, I decided to just keep the vocals & percussion, put some dirt on the piano & record my own bass & guitar & program some rock sounding drums & a few synth bits. Here's what I made. https://soundcloud.com/gxmix/flashbacks-gx-mix How do the drums sound? I'm never satisfied with my drums.
