0175westwood29 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 they went really well, was slightly nervous as I've only ever done live recording, I've never tracked just bass. was really relieved when i did both my parts (we did 2 songs) in 2 takes, the people we were recording with managed to capture my tone brilliantly! i think we did quite well time wise as we managed to record both songs complete bar vocals in 9hrs including setup, me and our singer will be doing vocals tomorrow. here a snap i took of my amp all mic'd up just before my takes. andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamapirate Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) wow. Nice setup! I love ampeg... I've just finished some home recording - can't wait to get ina studio some time. Probably not going to happen. Saving up for a macbook pro, then by the time that happens I'll probably be @ uni, then another 5 years of debts, then maybe start a proper life... :/ Pretty cool, though! When you going to have some MP3s out? EDIT I swear you're meant to have the mics at least a metre away from the cab. Well, that recording magazine aboutrecording bass sucks butt!

Generally, IME, close mic'ing sounds best on bass, although some mics can give a proximity bass buildup effect if too close.

iamapirate Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Doubling on bass? nice! I know it sounds awesome on guitar! Maybe have different dirt pedals on each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe have different dirt pedals on each [/quote] nah honestly so happy with the sound we got, and it is all clean not effects on it at all! got one rough mix back on thurs, he spent bout 20mins on it after we'd done our vocal takes, and it sounds wicked! the bass is perfectly in the mix! and the other track we recorded wasn't even mixed was just as recorded and even that sounds cool! and in this song the bass stands out in the mix, which suits the song really well! all in all so happy with how its turned out so far, final mixes in a few weeks, the guy doing it is our friend and he is a bit concerned about mixing them as they sound good atm! but i know he do a wicked job plus ill probs go in with him and help mix it. here's a pic of our singer doing vocals, check the mic's! andy Edited June 26, 2009 by 0175westwood29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
