@sandy_r @Paddy Morris @3below Thanks so much for your feedback - I am just going to bite the bullet and get a replacement. I do like the realist so I am going to stick with it but I appreciate of the suggestions and help.

@sandy_r @Paddy Morris Thanks again for your replies and the kind words. It is the pick up as I feared. So I dug out my old Behringer UMC 202 and did the same tests, again mixing up leads and inputs, made sure there was no peaking on either the interface or logic and there is still crackle. New pick up required then? I have attached a Condenser mic track for reference again. Let me know your thoughts? Do you both use Realists? DI - the chain here was Realist to DI (Neve RNDI) to Interface (Behringer UMC 202) to Logic DI_1.wav Line In - Realist to Interface to Logic Line In_1.wav Mic - Realist to Fender Amp to Beyer Dynamic M88 TG to Interface Mic_1.wav Condenser - Rode N1 Condensor Mic (for reference) Conden Mic_1.wav

@sandy_r @Beedster Thank you so much for your replies. I took a short time this afternoon and recorded some more examples. I bowed and plucked, I also swapped out leads and inputs on the interface. There was no peaking on either the interface or on Logic. Excuse the dodgy intonation. So I recorded 1 - DI - so the chain here was Realist to DI (Neve RNDI) to Interface (SSL 2+) to Logic DI_1.wav 2 - Line In - Realist to Interface to Logic Line in_1.wav 3 - Mic - Realist to Fender Amp to Beyer Dynamic M88 TG to Interface Mic_1.wav 4 - Rode N1 Condensor Mic (for reference) In Room Condes_1.wav Unfortunately there is a lot of noise on all of the tracks except for track four. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the reply, you agree that there is an issue with the realist? I am going to do a few more tests later which I will upload.

I have tested it through amps and with different leads etc but I was thinking I was convincing myself of something that maybe wasn't there. I will do some more tests.

Hi all, I was playing a gig late last year and the sound engineer said there was sound coming off my DB, it was static / crackle. I checked through an amp and I couldn't really hear anything, When I recorded a sample I feel I could hear something but I do not know if this is down to the pick up or the recording / playing by myself. Is the crackle on the track normal or do I need to replace my realist? When recording there was no peaking on the interface or DAW. Any thoughts and opinions would be great. I have attached a sound sample. Thanks DB Bass Check.mp3

Anyone started it? I a, signed up to it but considering cancelling as I can’t get time to use it. What are people’s thoughts that have signed up?

Excuse the late reply. Thank you for the advice, where I’m from opportunities may be limited but I’ll make something work. What is your favourite show to work on?

Got the music

Thank you buddy, I have been wondering what sort of player I want to be and I have realised recently that a pit bassist is what I want to be. So, I am starting to get a few gigs now so hopefully will be sooner rather than later. What about you?

Thank you so much for this

Hi all, Anyone got a PDF of the bass music for the full Little Shop Of Horrors Musical? Cheers, Mikey
