It's just like any modern music played on radio. That's why I listen to Planet Rock.

But if I did volunteer I definitely could write, compose and produce a much much better alternative.
You can join us in the next month in April composition challenge

Also, when you register your ableton, they have a setup process with demos that will at least show you how to get sound in.
That's correct I also used their You Tube, demos initially. I have tried different free versions of DAW but couldn't get on with them.

The simple explanation I can offer is that you can do a research on You Tube (some good some misleading tutorials).
I started recording when I joined BC and since I've learnt a tiny if information.
Before you buy anything make sure your PC, laptop, I pad or whatever you use, the operating system is compatible with the audio interface.
What I did, a basic starting point.: I bought an audio interface " Focusrite Scarlett 2i2". It has two inputs. This came with a free DAW, Ableton live. Most interfaces you buy will come with a free DAW.
You plug the Focusrite Scarlett to your PC via USB, use the instructions to download package and set it up. ( It comes with a code etc).
Next step is to download your DAW to your PC/ laptop or whatever you use , then when you open the DAW you set up the preferences, audio in/out. I found the set up the most frustrating part but there are plenty of tutorial videos online.
Once it's all set up and your audio interface is connected . You plug an instrument into the interface audio and begin a new frustrating process of learning how to record etc. You will get there eventually.

Another moronic delivery by Evri. about two weeks ago they lobbed a heavy item over the fence that landed on concrete patio. Luckily only bent the two brackets that that attach to the rack.

Couldn't the rest of band help, or did they had a lot to carry?

Good grief. I've just turned 56 and I'm feeling it this week. The last thing I'd want is to have a demo I did in the 80s come to light and the buggers trying to give me a record deal now! That ship of opportunity has sailed for me.
What if it comes with a nice 7 figure bonus?

If a man had done that he'd be in serious trouble.
This, 100% agreed.

Bought Ampeg mini amp from Stevie. Despite the neverending motorway delays , the parcel was delivered. Great communication from the start, parcel safely protected.

Three network- what a pile of shite! Never used to get a decent signal.
Skype- was atrocious, the calls constantly froze
Anything that has tarragon in it, disgusting herb, I'd rather eat a jar of marmite.
Old people's clothes, I will never dress that way.

Ok , you need a tuner, wah pedal, volume pedal, tube screamer, distortion, equaliser, then flanger, phaser,chorus, digital delay, reverb and noise supressor. Plug this end into a Marshall at least 100 w and you're good to go. This is what i do, power chords.

12 is about to come out i see.
I can get an upgrade from lite to standard, including a free uograde to 12 when it's out for €166
Surely it will only go up in price when 12 comes out?
Im not sure i need standard yet though as im just getting into trying to record at home.
I've used lite with 8 tracks for years. Standard has unlimited tracks and other options available , but if you're just starting out you may prefer a different DAW as Ableton is mostly for electronic music, although I use it for everything.

I have upgraded to Ableton Live standard after many years of using the lite version that only gave me 8 tracks.
The only downside of Ableton is that it tends to crash, but you can always recover when it unexpectedly shuts down. I recorded heavy guitar rigs, live drums and works fine paired with Focusrite Scarlett.

If you have a multimeter worth checking earth continuity from amp to bass through the fx unit. The step-down unit is double-insulated, which is fine, but obvs it doesn't provide an earth.
The rack effect is a American vertin Aphex Aural exciter powered from 110v supply. So I don't know how it would benefit if I check my current amps fx outputs? Unless I misread what you meant.

Don't get me even started! 😁

I use two amps , one is set to get vintage ,nasally sound no pedals. The other has more treble and a bit of gain, compressor, eq and a touch of presence. I play these together to get the sound I'm after. This is noticeable when both are miced and play through headphones or listen back in DAW.

Yes, if the wattage is enough. This one says 45 W which isn't a lot, only 400 mA. If the unit's consumption is low, that still may be enough. Check the effect's specs.
Cheers, It says at the back of the unit AC 9 w

Because they're having to compensate for not being bassists.
I think cases are like car modifications.

I think it's important to understand if there is a loss of hearing and/or loss of certain frequencies the final mix won't be perfect. I don't think I am ever happy with my mixes as I know what sounds almost good to me in reality may be a muddy mix. I've recently watched an engineer on you tube explaining a subwoofer. When you hear the bass coming out from the subwoofer, you turn the bass frequency down until you can barely hear it from the subwoofer. My music room is narrower than longer. I made corner bass traps in a shape of a toblerone from rockwool and bass trap panels for front and back wall, and side walls. There is a thread about it in BC. I don't think there is a correct answer as everyone hears differently, I often use a reference song which seems to help a lot.
Is there a popular bass player, that you just don’t get?
