every time i see one of this videos i grow a little more as an engineer. Thakns a lot from Argentina!
Hi +Mr Nobody Aw shucks! So glad to b able to help! Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro no u thanks
Warren, as usual I benefit vastly by watching your tutorial videos. Living in a remote non-metro area as I do there is no one but myself working with ProTools these past 4 years, so your instructions have helped me grow in leaps and bounds. Can't wait to record my next Bass track now! Bruce
You have No idea how much Gold you leave out for free for us.
You blew my mind with the simple way to fix the phase and made that Peavey bass Sound like a million here in my humble living room with a soundbar and a sub...
Amazed by your way to make everything Sound amazing and make it all look so simple.
Thank you so much Warren.
Best Regards Thomas
You are the first person ever to explain to me how to use BF! I did tons of searching online and came up pretty empty. All you had to say was 'fixed threshold' and I finally understood what I've been struggling with for a year! I like the BF tone on some things, but I never use it because I was lacking that little basic operating understanding and it frustrated me. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Hi lowstringc aw shucks! Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! I grew up using hard ware Compressors so I used the 1176 and understand how it works. Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Bass player for over 4 decades...seen mute math multiple times live they are one of my favorite bands! Great video!
I really watching your videos, they have a ton of useful information. I pretty much watch them daily in my adventures of home recording.
Wow Warren this video is Gold, thank you for the phase alignment trick... This video is pure Gold.
so happy to see T40 love here - lol - I have been recording with my T40 since I got my black one in '86. Hands down the quietest instrument I have ever played D.I. well rounded freq responses - great studio tool - as long as you're sitting down - I couldn't strap this on for a long session without shoulder pain - lol.
Great video Warren! It's nice to hear someone extol the virtues of the t-40 I got my first one in1979, I wore it out. I'm on my second one now.
As always there's another valuable tip. Previously I'd wither record a DI or record just the amp or if I was feeling adventurous I'd record both and pick the one that suits the track. Blending the DI and Amp sound is something I hadn't really tried before watching your channel and your trick for putting a low cut on one and high cut on the other, well, if I was wearing a hat I would take it off to you
I bought a T-40 on consignment from a music store about 25 years ago. Still have it. Love that thing. Weird seeing someone else hold one.
Also makes me realize mine is filthy.
Boy, I only intended to tune in for a bit and suddenly 3 hours have gone! 3 hours very well spent, I might add. Lovely stuff. Thank you for sharing your awesome knowledge and Billy Sheehan? - Awesome. I've got to check that one out again. Thanks Bill. You're the man.
Thanks a lot, Warren, for keeping me up ALL freakin' night long watching your videos on autoplay!!! I only have to pack the van and drive 225 miles this afternoon WITH NO SLEEP!
But you know what, you've managed to become my newest best friend in the process and I don't mind having stayed up all night with no sleep at all...yet. I may be cursing you tonight but don't worry, I'll get over it.
Just to introduce myself briefly, I'm a 68 year old rockin' blues recording artist, originally from Oklahoma, then '69-'83 in LA (and San Diego too...beautiful city) and from '93 I've called my home Nashville.
Like so many of us I love recording at home too and have been using Cakewalk DAWs since they first appeared on the market. Pro Tools is great and is used everywhere but I started with Cake because PT wasn't available for PC at the time so I've stayed with their SONAR series in recent years simply because it's what I know best. BTW, the new SONAR Platinum is a very fine program and it has more features than I'll ever use! LOL!
Enough about me and SONAR already!
You, my friend, have loads of raw talent, eons-worth of knowledge to share and a humble way of sharing your knowledge and talents with the world. I don't know how long it's gonna take me to watch ALL of your videos but I am determined to catch up with you so I can bug you about what your NEXT video is gonna feature and when it will finally be posted. Yes, I am definitely a huge fan...and yes, I am doing marvelously well, thank you. I think that's the first time I've ever said the word marvelously to anyone...LOL!!!
Anyway, thanks for doing what you do and please keep doing it. Cheers!
Dub Campbell
Hi +Dub Campbell Wow!!! Thanks very much for your incredible someone, your amazing insight and your very kind words! I really appreciate it!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I wish I saw this video years ago! I used my Apollo UAD 1176 to level my Jazz Bass recording DI for re-amping later. And the audio sounds great! Thanks!!!
Thanks a lot you've really opened my mind on how to make a sweet bass sound. I like duplicating the track and applying EQ and distortion what a cool sound almost sounds like a Chris Squire tone
Thanks Warren, for confirming to me that I've been recording the same method. I just don't the BAE hardware. Your studio is awesome!
OMG thanks Warrent for this videos, always that I need learn more I go to this Channel, million of thanks!!!!
Hi, I watched one of your videos for the first time about two days ago and now I can't stop watching. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great sounds in this song.
Hi rafasounds2010 thanks very much for your kind words! I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
Haha ***** understood! I'm keeping it forever, wonderful Bass! Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
Hi ***** yes people are starting to get very hip to these wonderful Basses! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Produce Like A Pro hi! can I record bass directly into focusrite and into pc? no other hardware. I mean, will it sound decent? I don't wanna buy other things... I wanna buy a bass guitar. thanks in advance for your answer. !
The Peavey T series are incredible, we use a T60 for guitar in our band, we feel exactly the same way about the T60 as you do about the T40. Unreal instruments. Thanks for making your videos Warren, I watch them all the time and they're always great. Please give our video a watch I you get a chance. Thanks again Warren
This video is fantastic! I'm looking forward to watching the rest of them.
Thanks jsawicki8354 I really appreciate it! Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
Warren you teach guide affirm like a pro as well. Cheers my brother. I spotted the peavey immediately....totally cool.
A great video Warren. I always learn something really useful... now to go back through my bass tracks and fix some phase mud now I know what to look for :-)
So clear and helpful - wow!! Thank you very, very much!
great videos. I discovered this channel not long ago and ha've been enjoying many of them... I'm learning a lot. thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. greetings from Israel.
Hi +Jon Montoya Thanks very much! I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Wow! Nice video. I'll be subscribing...
A friend is an executive chef who has been helping me with my cooking skills. He always says, "It's not the ingredients, it's the method." I think you proved that to be true in recording, as well. Excellent job...
I'm a Sonar/PC guy.
Thanks ReverendTFunk I really appreciate the kind words! Have a marvelous time recording. Many thanks Warren
Always a pleasure! Love from Norway! :)
Ooh. It’s like your feed is looking right into my home studio! I just picked up a Rupert Neve 517 (not BAE but not a bad 500 series module well worth the cost) which has the variable phase alignment knob and built in compression. Thanks again! Looking forward to applying the techniques learned on this episode to do some live bass overdubs to replace some midi bass lines and add some life to a track we’re working on. Thanks Warren. Cheers!
Thanks ever so much Dave! I’m glad to be able to help!
your videos are so useful, thank you so much!
Hello again. Even though I already had prior experience doing what is instructed in this video, it is still a pleasure watching you explain it so elloquently. Wasn't aware of the Peavy, so that's something new I've taken away! It has a great thumpy tone! Cheers
Hi Kirsten Monahan wow thanks for such kind words I really appreciate it! Yes the Peavey T40 is amazing! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
I find this channel to be just great !
Now I am retired, I have time and I am interested.
I am just starting out. I intend to support church or charity thingys - but that's really running before I can walk..
I have fuddled around with recording from a very simple mixer at church - at a very basic level - but I'm thinking of going to night school or something to get lift off sooner so I can understand about buses, plugins and particularly to get some practice and feedback from the tutor. (no pun intended)! :-)
One thing, if you can recommend a source/booklet/video/ idea for a slow intro to compression I would really appreciate it. I am aware its something I have to get my ears into listening as much as understanding of 'input, output and the adjustments in between' :-)
Thanks again for a great channel.
Mr. Huart you are AWESOME!!!!
Thank you!!!
I've got the same bass, wonderful variety of sounds you can get from it.
Merci for help Warren,,The fact of seeing the branch helps more the computer party, cool thank you.
Thanks Warren, very useful video. Like the 'comp auxes' and will try it!
Hi +RoMi Cage Great! You're welcome! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Brilliant thanks! Helped me to decide my recording path
No Warren, I hope YOU'RE doing marvelously well. great video thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the video, very helpful!
Thanks Tim Dupnak! I really appreciate it, have a marvelous time recording. Many thanks Warren
I'd love to see how you would go about recording/mixing slap bass!... And thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge!...
oh I love Peavy, I played T60 LEAD, YEA VERY HEAVY hardwood, but the wiring is priceless and plays smooth as I have ever played on
you are the best. thank you for all your help..Bradley Hall Lake Havasu City Az.
Great video, love that you demonstrate everything using affordable gear. Videos that show great results with 10k+ in gear might as well be in Latin for the majority of musicians.
Hi David! Thanks ever so much! I'm glad to be able to help!
That bass guitar these days is praised at approximately $800-$900 USD
back in 2005 2007 2009 you could find them for $300 $200 $400
I bought a Yamaha trbx mahagony body for 350 and it sounds great and is built solid.
Great exactly what I needed. Had an amp and DI track and was sounding like mud being a first time mixer. Gonna try this I'm sure it will sound like a pro, after coffee tho
Warren, thanks for the great info! I'm 14 and recording a friends' acoustic guitar and vocals, so excited! I also play bass, so I may add on to the acoustic track. You should totally do a studio tour if you have the time.
Thanks, Cade Allen
Hi ***** thanks very much! Yes I will definitely do a studio tour soon! Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
I just scored a 1982 T-40! I’m excited to track with it.
I'm always pretty happy with various setting on the VT-BASS DI from Tech 21. But will definitely try recording an amp and DI. The VT has a Parallel output! Woohoo!
Hi +Brock Barr Thanks for the great comment! Yes the Tech 21 is really great!! And yes the Parallel output is really useful!! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
BTW, thanks for your video with Studio Bassist Paul Ill !!
As a Guitar Player (for 31 years) I don't know all the in's and outs of Bass gear yet but I've been getting into playing Bass Guitar more lately and will be recording Bass guitar myself as well as Guitar on my Demo's.
I heard Paul talk about "Felt Picks" for when he plays a session with a pick instead of fingers. I'd never heard of Felt Picks before. Although I like to play Bass with my fingers alot...I can see where playing with a pick would be preferred depending on the vibe of the song....but using a regular guitar pick the sound is just too "Clanky".
When I heard about the "Felt Picks" thing I went "Oh, yeah....that's it". So I ordered some along with some "Flatwounds" to put on my "Squier Vintage Modified '70 Jazz Bass". Can't wait to record with this new setup !!
Hi +John Lyell Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Thanks yes Paul Ill Rules! Great guy and really talented! Get picks give a really investing tone, I would only use them for a few things! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
My first bass was a Peavey T-40. I sold it years ago to a friend of mine. Your comments make me regret that now haha. I was a skinny teenager when I had this thing and it weighed a ton.
you got the tip of the year if you apply this method for the important bass tracking
that glues a song together
great tips! Thanks!
Thanks ever so much
I had that same bass when I was 21 years old back in 1979 , my very first bass.
I can't figure out where it's at in my parents attic most likely.
Trying my hardest to resist buying a T40 recently and I see this video! They're getting harder to get hold of over here as more and more Rickenbacker fans settle down to Peavey land instead. Great video mate, although now I have to go look in the mirror and tell myself I don't need another bass, I don't need another...
Very didactic, although the audio is not in Spanish language, it is understood quite well. Many thanks for sharing. A greeting from Argentina.
There was a beat up t40 in my high school's music room. I've had a hankering for one ever since.
Hi ABCvitaminD I love my T40! Fantastic Bass! Have a marvelous time recording, many thanks Warren
top notch vocal mixing there!!!!
Hi Warren, I play bass I found the shifting of DI input to match the phase of the speaker input very helpful. Did not know that was possible. I was a bit lost on the set up of the DI/speaker compressed tracks when you went to the drop downs and selected Aux inputs and Bus 1 etc. I will check for more videos and how to's on setting up tracks. Thanks tons for your series. Pete Z
Hi +Peter Zabriskie (deepfrequency) Great! Glad to be able to help! Please let me know if it doesn't make sense! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
@Peter Zabriskie
He's using the Aux tracks that he's created to handle the incoming signals.
Rather than print the signal flat directly to an Audio track, he's passing audio through a plug-in first . Then outputting that processed signal to a Buss and assigning that Buss to address the input of an Audio track and printing the processed signals as his Bass tracks.
The plug-ins he has chosen probably use a fair amount of computer processing, but if he's using something like Pro Tools HD, then latency in your monitoring is not an issue.
EXCELLENT -Cheers warren.
Warren. I don't use the auxiliary in/out or grouping tactic. I just treat each bass channel as an individual track (as per the direct in and amp cab mic set up) and apply the compression to each as required. Is there any advantage in using aux/grouping?
I can't believe I found you! I'm so stoked!
Hi Bradley, Thank you ever so much for your kind words!! So glad to be able to help!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
I use a lot of the tricks you use, but it's always nice to learn new tricks! Best always!
That Peavey T-40 is PRISTINE!
Thanks! Yes, I love it!
Your videos are for sure the best. Is there a difference between adding the delay to get them in phase as opposed to just zooming in and nudging one of the tracks to line up?
Hi +Sean Daniel Great question! I personally like to leave my tracks where I recorded them and just use the plugin quickly, but it's up to you! Both ways work! Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
With the plugin, any sections you record on that track will be aligned, but if you nudge the tracks, you'll have to nudge them all individually.
Record, edit/fade, consolidate and then nudge!
Consolidating a track can lead to a LOT of unforeseen headaches.
And for whatever reason, some DAWs don’t play nicely with consolidated tracks. I’ve heard of many a file or project getting corrupted thanks to overuse of consolidation. I’m not wholly sure why, but it can definitely be a problem.
Tho I like to have a clean signal while recording bass, making tracks with both a amp and DI sounds fantastic blend possibilities. I'm gonna do that more often, good video. Cheers! :D
LOL!
Had a T40 when the first came out back in the day :) Loved it.
Hi +mixc8 I love my T40!! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Great video
I've just found this channel and subscribed, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
BTW, I have a Peavey Bass as well (mine is a Patriot) :)
Thanks Burak Tulbentci I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching! Yes I love my Peavey Bass. Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
I'm a keyboard player who "plays" some bass and drums. When I sit at the drum set I don't play a groove & expect the bass to follow, I listen to the bass line and adjust my bass drum pattern to match what the bass is doing. For me, my take away from this video is to not forget to "sync" up your bass guitar line & bass drum pattern. I'd rather create a cool base line first, then adjust the drums. I like your channel. Thanks.
Good info on recording bass guitar from Warren Huart @ PLAP!!
Hi +Jake Sharp (ProfoundStudio) Thanks very much for your kind words I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hey there! I love your channel and the fact that you're making your knowledge availible to others.
I had a question regarding DI recording. I see quite some variations when it comes to the prices of different DI's, sor example the Neve RNDI, REDI, etc. Barring some extra features would you say that in those cases a high priced DI would have merit? I only ask because structurally they are quite simple in their design. Please let me know your thoughts if you could, it's been plaguing me for some time :)
Your uploads are just fantastic, they are very helpful. At the end you mention that you have several different approaches to recording bass depending on player's technique and music style, etc. What would you suggest for recording bass with a pick? Thanks, Grega.
Hi +Grega Robic Great question! With pick Bass Players I tend to compress the DI in particular twice, once around 3 or 4:1 then again at a limit of 20:1 to catch the peaks! I hope that helps? Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Thanks for the translation to Spanish, is great.I would love to see a playlist with all videos in Spanish ...
Hi +David Suárez Torre Great! Definitely slowly working on going through all the videos! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
i like your work
Hi +mario flores Thanks very much!! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Help me please... I have am 58' Pbass re-issue. I Love vintage tones and I need an DI. What do you prefer, a EBS Valve drive or the Two notes le bass? Thanks and sorry about my tragical english.
Great man!
Oh i agree!
Love those old Peavey's!!!
Thanks Johnny Beane I agree! Amazing Bass!
Thanks for the tips!
:)
You're welcome Johnny Beane! Thanks for watching!
Awesome! Sounds great, thanks for those helpful tips.
Thanks Luca Ferrara! I really appreciate you watching!
Hi Warren, really like your friendly and professional demeanour. I have been a pro bass player for many years and as you say there are many ways to record bass but the fundamentals are all the same - clear balanced signal path, a well rehearsed player and finally an engineer/producer who has good ears. Nowadays there are a myriad of DI's, pre-amps and plug ins but all are after the fact, the mentioned formula always gets the right recording no matter the style. Oh and a Stingray Bass is my secret weapon - producers love them :)
Hi Warren, I'm trying to record some bass but I keep struggling with some boomy, muddy noise around 200 hertz. I've used a shure BETA and a SM57 and I play a Thunderbird throught an Ashdown amp.
Do you have any advise, please?
Warren, these are the best music production videos I've seen on RUclips. Great, great work! Keep them coming and thanks! I have a question regarding recording the bass. I have been really interested in closing in on the Fleetwood Mac bass sound - very tight and focused, but still full and capable of carrying the weight of the song. "Dreams" is a really great example. I tend to find my basslines can be a bit muddier and more unfocused than I like. I think I read that they recorded direct into the board. Do you feel a direct option would be the best for this sound, or perhaps a mix of amp and direct? Thanks for any pointers you can provide and keep up the great work! I am using a Universal Audio Apollo Twin duo for my interface so I have some very nice options for analog compressors, tape saturation, etc.
Thanks trojannate for watching! I really appreciate it! Great questions. I do love a Di sound, I recorded at The Plant in Sausalito where they recorded 'Rumours' and the Neve there sounded great, so I would definitely make sure you use a great Mic Pre. The 1073 DMP is of course a favorite of mine, then I would use a couple of sets of compression, one set at 3:1 hitting most of the time going into another set to 20:1 just catching the peaks. This will give you a really even tone, also use fingers if you can. The Apollo is amazing by the way! If you use software compressors set up a DBX160 3:1 then a UREI 1176 set to 20:1 catching the peaks you'll get a great sound. I'm also a big fan of the McDSP plugins, the analog channel is great, also try a multi band compressor to give you an even Bass tone. Have a marvelous time recording and let me know how you get on! Many thanks Warren
Warren Huart Recording A million thanks, Warren. That's so cool you recorded at the Plant! I will give all those tips a go. I have a GAP Pre73 Neve Clone that does a pretty good job. I hadn't heard of the DMP before. Do they make a 500 series version? All the best to you and many thanks for sharing these techniques!
Hi trojannate BAE are making a 500 Series 1073! Have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
Hey Warren, If you're tracking DI and Amp, how do you feel about recording a bass cab that only has one 8" speaker? Wondering if it matters much if you're relying on the DI for the low end. Cheers!
Thanks Warren 👍🏼
also using the DI take and adding some distortion to it to blend it in and make a nice rock bass sound, i usually duplicate the track for that and cut off a lot of lows almost getting to 300hz at times
Hi +Mad Scientist Yes agreed! Very often I duplicate the Di and add some sans amp to drive it! Sounds great! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
I loved the technique of the delay for the phase adjustment, much faster than manually moving every track in phase. And nice fat vintage bass sounds in there! Did You roll the tone on the bass off a little? What about the pickup volumes? I'm recording with an Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage with DI and i find that rolling off the voume a bit brings different dynamics and a somewhat darker, softer sound. Thanks for the great tips Warren, You make it look easy!
Where does the microphone hook up to that you have in front of the amp, The DI or the audio interface? Do you use two inputs on your audio interface or something to record the bass?
Love it Warren. How about a video on mixing bass and upright bass? Mine always come out wayyy to boomy, and I'm trying to even it out with a multiband on the low-end but still to no avail...
Great idea Coke Youngblood! I actually think the C4 or McDSP MC4000 would work wonders on the bottom end of an upright Bass as well. You may have to run a couple of them and also use a frequency analyzer to see what frequencies are too boomy and which are lacking to get a really even tone. Let me know how it goes! have a marvelous time recording! Many thanks Warren
Great Video! But I was wondering why would you have a compressor, gate etc. on the way in (so you would not record it), when you also could do it afterwards...having all options!
Hi Warren, excellent video on bass recording and great to see you using an ashdown amp. I use the Ashdown ABM 600 with 4x10 and 1x15 cabs. Also I use a plugin that Ashdown have a vst cabs plugin that I use. My question is, how to get the same sound from a vst amp, as though you were micing it up live. I do have ideas and have a way that I do it, but would love to hear how you would approach this situation. J do apologise if this has already been covered in a previous video. Thanks Pete
Hartley Peavey would be thrilled to see this video
Excellent video as always but I think you left out one of the most important things when playing live into a Daw which is playing through latency I personally cannot do it
I though my bass recording sucks... But now I see I'm not alone... That inspires...
Hi Warren, thanks for this - and all your other videos. Recently I've been going straight into my Apogee Duet and have been really happy with how clean it is. The plan is to then re-amp using my Radial X-Amp and Ashdown once I've done all my edits. Are there any disadvantages do this approach?
Hi +Tim Jackson Thanks for the great comment! Yes the Duet sounds great! I love my Ashdown, great amp! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hey Warren, what settings on the T40 do you like best for recording? Thanks so much for the great videos!
Hi +shopsybass Great question! I usually track with both pickups on! Thanks very much for your great comment I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hey Warren thanks for the great video:) what are your thoughts on recording bass through Neve 1084’s/73? I usually go through my Chandler mkii as overall it’s not as “phat,” as the Neves I have but is more consistent and has better clarity in my opinion. I always find the Neves too lumpy for bass and murky for bass.
Hi Warren, what are your thoughts on level riding the bass (or heavily transient shaping it) in the box? A lot of times I read it's a great way to really fit the bass into its "pocket" in the mix. But the times I tried it, it sounded so lifeless compared to input compression.
Well done !
Hi +Christian Loudieu Thanks very much I really appreciate it! Have a marvellous time recording, many thanks Warren
Hi Warren. Thank you for the very informative video. The only thing that puzzles me is where do I put my pedalboard in the chain? Bass>Pedalboard>DI>Amp or Bass>DI>Pedalboard>Amp? Thank you very much.
Peavey T-40! Heavy but so awesome sounding!
I absolutely love it!
Warren, goofy for some but important to me question: I am quite old school when it comes to recording. I have a hybrid set up. DAW with analog summing, and gear. I like to mix with minimum tracks i.e. make decisions while recording. With about 3.5 ram on my imac, minimal use of plug- ins, how many tracks should I be able to have before incurring problems?
found the song: Emree Franklin - Get you alone
it's up on soundcould
Hi +Zw1d Good stuff! I didn't do that version! Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
Howdy Warren. I've been addicted to your videos since I discovered your channel a couple days ago. Great to find someone with a similar eclectic musical background and with such huge experience and knowledge in production, it's so helpful! I have a question for you, sorry if it sounds too basic or dumb: how come that your main input goes to an aux with the bombfactory and then you print it to an audio track? I mean, wouldn't it be the same going straight to audio tracks and using the bombfactory as an insert plugin so that you can keep the uncompressed waveform just in case? I'm really wondering the reasons. Hope that made sense, sorry for my English. And thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with us here, your videos are so inspiring! Cheers.
Hello Mr. Huart, This was great! It was exactly what I was looking for! I have one question though. After recording this way, how do you go about mixing the two bass tracks?
Hey Warren! What would you suggest for recording heavy style bass? I'm in the middle of nowhere because it's hell of a bad bass running through a Orange amp (the amp has decent DI pre setting out) D6 mic to the amp, and straight to PT via Xmax preamps I/O... Should I use a tube preamp on any of both signals? i don't think so thou. Help! Hoping your comment, many thanks. Camilo
hey guys, i have a question. Wish someone can tell me~
i just looked around 8:00 .Warren was setting up Amp and DI in tracks' i/o
My question is...
Why he created an aux track for DI in..then bus to normal audio track
and same as amp(mic) in ?
Can we set audio track first and then bus to aux track with comp?
Is this a little bass recording tips?or just a habit when recording bass?
THX
hi warren
this comment will be slightly lengthy since its the first time hitting you up.
Your videos are a great help. i realy love production and songwriting. and i recently started my own little studio here in buenos aires . i never go without consulting your instructionals before i start a project. it is realy very kind of you to share all that knowledge with de audio production community. im entering your mailing list at the website as soon as i finish this comment.
once again thank you.
as for recording bass:
i've realy never been quite sure that compressing through the DAW counted as comp 'on the way in". but truely doing it in that manner make since cuase it does the job it needs to do. at least in the stage im currently in. it is a great relief(all my hardwere is a pc and the saffire pro40).
my biggest cuetion is.
is there one or more pieces of outboard gear that i just couldnt go without in an entry level studio like mine? preamp compressor etc. i should mention i do own a ultra gain tube preamp mic210 by behringer.
thanks in advance!
keep up the good work!
cheers
Shai from argentina.
Hi +Shai Sircovici in Argentina! That's a big question! What mics do you own? I would at least have mid price Condenser for vocals and acoustic instruments. Have a marvellous time recording and mixing, many thanks Warren
