Hey all!

Question about where to put my compressor in the plugin chain. If I was using it separately, would it be before, say for example, the SansaAmp or after it? Same question for EQ as well.

I write electronica but feel some recorded bass would help to make my songs sound more organic. So I'm looking for a versatile bass for around $500. I don't need anything with too much high end for slapping or anything like that. I just need a bass with nice smooth sound for downtempo stuff.

I am planning to buy saffire 6 USB audio interference. I can record bass with a netbook HP mini 110-3500 with that?

Other option can be Roland V-Studio 20 (specifications say it can be use in netbooks!)

Hey guys I'm wondering how to record bass using a passive DI box and a mic so that I can have 2 signals going into Pro Tools. I've never recorded with two signals before so I'm not real clear on how to hook everything up.

I'm using an Mbox with two inputs. So for one signal I go from the mic to the Mbox right?

Hey guys...

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this, but when I play my bass it sounds like there is more treble when the the treble knob on my bass amp is turned down. How do I get my bass to have the good bass tone when I am practicing and playing in rehearsal? I own a Hofner Icon B Violin Bass Guitar, a Greg Bennett bass guitar, a Stagg amp, and a Voice Pathfinder 10W Bass Amp Combo.

When I play both of my basses (Hofner Icon B Violin Bass & Greg Bennett Bass) it sounds like there is more treble when all of the treble knobs on the basses and amps are off, I also have flat wounds of both of them which made the tone better, but it still sounds off. How do I make the tone quality sound like good?

I have a Dean Razor j-bass with active pickups.

What strings should I use to get a warm, smooth, and punchy tone, perhaps something similar to 70's reggae or soul music.

I know my bass is not a good starting point, but what kind of strings would steer me in the right direction? Thick flatwounds?

Slightly confusing issue (to me at least!) regarding audio and a cable change. I would really appreciate any help on the cause of the following problem and any offers of how to fix in FCP.

Test 1 has the problem and test 2 is fine.

Hi,

I'm becoming somewhat obsessed by the bass in movies... and how that sound design can be transferred to audio recording/mixing. I used to think it was only in flashy FX movies, but now I realise that it's just become S.O.P. for -all- movie recording. It is larger than life... especially... in Americana or acoustic settings.
