GusBeare Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Hi I've been trying to find a really simple, quick way to record bass videos without using a DAW. From what I can work out when you want to make a video with sound you have to record sound using the DAW and video with some other device and later stitch the two together in video editing software. I want to be able to record both at the same time into a single file without having to join up later. Is this too much to ask? So what I have been trying is using my web cam which does pretty good video (Logitech C920 + Logitech capture software) with the mic set as the Fender Mustang Micro which is plugged into the bass and by USB-C into the PC. Unfortunately I get this horrible rattling sound and I can't work out why or how to get rid of it. Check out the attached vid. If I plug the Mustang Micro into Ableton it's fine. If I use the mic on the web cam to record myself playing I get the same rattle. I've tried setting the recording levels really low but even when I can barely hear it after recording I can still hear the rattle. Anyone have any ideas? Is Logitech Capture just not up to recoding such low frequencies? thanks for any suggestions Gus 2022-03-14_10-28-53.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 It sounds like a bass being played, to me. Sorry, no 'rattle'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 If you mean the buzzing type sound, I can hear it. It's mostly on the E and A strings. Other than that, sorry, I'm not much help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusBeare Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) @Dad3353Really? Maybe a rattle is the wrong word? Buzz perhaps? It sounds nothing like that in the headphones when I am playing with the Fender Mustang Micro. Edited March 14, 2022 by GusBeare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newfoundfreedom Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 It means the bass is good for metal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 That doesn't sound like a rattle from the bass to me, it like a fizzing from the mic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Sounded clean at low volume. I cranked it up and could hear some kind of low-level noise. You play a riff 4 times.... seemed to get louder after the first rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass is used with a Fender Mustang Micro amp which goes into the PC with a usb-c cable. In the Logitech Capture settings in the list of available microphones I choose "AUX Fender Mustang Micro". The variation in volume is probably just uneven playing. I'm a beginner. My hypothesis is that the software is unable to handle the bass properly. If I use my Fender Rumble 15 and the mic on the web cam I get the same buzz/rattle. It just can't seem to handle the lows but it has to be a software issue. Because with the micro amp I am not using a mic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
