Here's one for the more experienced engineers and home studio veterans: tell me if there's anything wrong in how I'm EQing my bass parts. So, I use an e906 (in neutral, which is really just an e609) to mic the bass cab.

Hello All:

I've noticed that commercial productions have a much more squashed low-end dynamic range than my own recordings.

Hey.
I'm doing a simple midi project, in which I use Malström DJDM BASS as a sort of constant one-note background for ambience.

The problem is the sound "sways" too much, I just want a very plain sound that does not vibrate too much. What can I do to modify the sound so that it's more like a constant plain sound rather than a vibrant one?

Dear all,

I'm wondering if anyone can share their experience recording a solo Classical bass (with piano accompaniment)?

I had only recorded acoustic bass in jazz ensemble, never as a solo Classical instrument, I gather the bassist will use bow more than a jazz player. In that case, what factors should I keep in mind when choosing microphone and recording technique?

i see a lot of mics being used for kick drums and bass interchangably. i have an Audix d6 kick drum mic, can i use this to recrod bass guitar as well?

if not, what are some good bass mics?

I'm planning on recording a blend of DI and mic'd. thanks!

i need to do a bass drop in a couple songs that I'm recording for a band.
I'm not sure if thats the right term or not but its the sound you hear that sounds like a dropout.
if you could help me and advise me on how to do it i would be greatly appreciative.
thanks!

How do you usually record bass?. I remember reading a post here where this guy was giving some tips. He was always using both DI and mic`ed up cab. Then he would compress the DI signal and boost the low end on the mic signal (or vise versa)... And then blend the signals... I tried to search for that thread with no luck.

HI Guys,

was wondering does Mike (aka shipps) still visit this forum, I remember a while back we were lucky enough to have him reply to a thread I posted about the vocals on the hysteria album and am now wondering what his approach was on this nickelback track as far as bass is concerned.

I have been using a POD for guitar and just a preamp for bass as a DI. I use a SOLO 610 for the POD and an LA610 for the bass.

I plugged in one of my guitars and amps today and wailed away full open. Although it's maybe 18 watts it was loud and glorious. I did things I just could not do direct with the POD.

What happened to the Guitar and Bass Forum?

I can't find it anymore.
