I will be recording a death metal band soon and they want the electronic "bass drops" and "backward, shimmering cymbal" sounds to accompany their music. Where can I get these sounds from?

The guy at the local GC said that I need to buy the entire Battery program from Waves, however I am sure that there is a better way to them than that.

Hi all! I'm in the market for a channel strip or preamp that would mainly get use as a bass channel and vocal overdub channel. This being the budget gear forum, my first choice (and right in line with my budget) is the ART ProChannel...

I didn't know where else to put this, so here goes...As Davedog and others may know, I've had issues with getting a decent bass sound on my tracks. Many reasons for this, won't re-hash them here. Anyway! Friend of mine suggests to me, since this bass player is all over the fret-board, low to mid to high and such, why not think of it like a keyboard? Take the bass track, make two copies.

I am going to be recording an upright bass for a rockabilly/ska type band. The bass has a pickup and he plays thru a GK amp and a GK 4X10 cabinet. I don't think I will have a hard time capturing the low end, but I am not sure what I should do to capture that signature rockabilly snap from the strings. . Would simply Micing the strings with a condenser do it or is there a better method?

Hi, I'm a keyboard player foremost but on occasion have been known to play bass. In my current band, my bass player would like for me to sit in on bass for a few songs here and there.

What does everybody recommend for the best Bass amp mic set up for under $300?

should I go through my Behringer V-amp2 to get a good unike sound then into my Behringer 502 mixer then into my 0404 sound card. Or, just guitar/bass go clean from mixer to sound card, then do the EQ with plugins on Sony Vegas. Thanks for the help.

Hi, I'm haveing trouble trying to get a clean bass drum sound and ideas on how to fix this

Can anyone provide their general step by step for recording, mixing, and mastering Bass?

I know its generally a good idea to compress in stages - during tracking, during mixing, and at the mastering stage. Which ratio and threshold settings do you use at each stage? attack / release settings?

I have been trying to introduce some bass sounds to my recordings (mainly acoustic).

I am having little success with Synth Bass's that comesupplied with logic. I suppose what i am after is a good bass guitar plugin - anybody know of one which sounds good?
