Nice one , good luck to you too.

Hi guys I'm thinking of recording some bass covers for Youtube. Most people seem to play back the original track in the background and play along over the top. So some questions: -Firstly is the copyright issue straightforward to sort out? Do you just declare it as part of the uploading process and Youtube handles the details/credits the composer and publisher etc? I want to do this properly and want to avoid hassle. -Secondly, any tips for maximising audio quality? I have a home studio and have recorded two CDs so I'm not a newbie, I'm just wondering what best practice would be. eg with most people it sounds like they are playing the track in the background in their room on a CD player or something which puzzles me. I'd want to mix things properly, by importing the original track into my DAW, removing the bass* and then mixing with my take. Is there some weird Youtube rule that prevents people from doing this properly? -Best way to remove or to least reduce the bass guitar in the original track? (I've often wondered where those isolated bass tracks come from, as basically I want the reverse). Obviously I could try EQ in my DAW, just wondering if there's something a little more surgical out there - maybe using the software app. Transcribe, for example? Let me know you thoughts, cheers Jon

Hi folks I'm about to buy a bass again (probably Marcus MIller V3 2nd gen) after a hiatus of several decades and found this site when looking for info/reviews. Have played guitar for 40 years, fronted a band as bassist/vocalist many years ago, worked as a classical/Spanish guitarist for about 17 years and packed that in last year... Anyway, apart from a keen interest in modern acoustic fingerstyle guitar I feel the groove of bass beckoning again. Hopefully you guys can help me with some questions about doing stuff at home 🙂 Cheers Jon
