Bass Diddy test....

[true-eurt]

Amp miced...or DI..?

I ain't no bass player, just having a little fun. After the 1-900-BABE mic test, I can post anything without getting embarrassed.....

Click on my SpankSHED songs link ....Bass diddy.

[bigwillz24]

Well... That better than any bass I would have played.

[Crumbles]

It's being a poo for me

Both? I don't know...sounds more DI'd to me. Pretty decent sound either way.

[This Is Poison]

wouldn't mind sharing exactly how you got the sound you did would you...?

please?

[RezN8]

How did you get mice all up in your bass amp and sh*t? Word

Anywayz- I hear a lot of room in that lil' ditty, so I'm guessing moused - er, miced... (miked?)

hell, that's how it's spelled? i've been micing things for years.

bass sounds like it has a slow phaser on it. i did'nt know true played bass.

[SRR]

miked, mik·ing, mikes
To supply with or transmit through a microphone.

[SRR]

mice Pronunciation (ms)
n.
Plural of mouse.

[travelin travis]

no such word as miced then is there?

[Dogman]

Mic'd....

At least that's how I say it.
As far as the bass, not sure myself. It has good sound, and your playing aint bad at all, True. That's all that matters.

[travelin travis]

who's the guy in the background bossing you around true? apparently he does'nt know who you are.......the pres of 1-900-BABE.

Thanks for the listen Danny. It was mic'd.

I 'moused' my little 20 watt microbass practice amp with an SM58/pop filter, positioned apx 6 inches above the front of the speaker.

[scrubs]

Not a lot of low frequency info on that track. If you could blend it with a DI signal, it would probably sound pretty sweet.

[Nicole_Rose]

nicely done true. i'd say both. there are times when i hear the room and times when i don't.

...the secret is cheese in the cone..

Yeppers...it is mic'd and my room has no treatment yet. The studio is in the basement, the walls have some kind of stucco stuff on them and been painted.

The ceiling is has tile squares...probably some kind of Abestos.... It is around 7 foot high ceiling.

Thanks for listening Rez!!

What colour paint?

[RezN8]

Cheers True! I listened to the whole track and it got stuck in my head for a while.

I agree with scrubs - blending with a DI should give you a very useable sound. Something like a Morley switcher to split the signal: http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--MLYABY

Hanging heavy blankets (moving blankets if you have them) in a "V" in front of the amp will help tighten, focus the ambience.

Watermelon asks a good question here - if you paint the basement a different color, you'll get a whole new bass-thumpin' vibe going.

[Crumbles]

Also, what colour is the lava lamp?

You have a very good ear Travis....After I recorded I added some Phaser. I can't remember which phaser style I used, but the one I chose made a very subtle difference. That is probably why it was hard for some to differentiate.

I went into cubase and damn, I didn't save it, but I think Cubase automatically makes a copy...I will check and if it did..post the one without the phaser on it. Then you can hear the subtle difference. I didn't want any distortion, cause I thought it would really hinder the listening. I am babbling...I know nothing about proper recording.

You didn't know True played bass Travis, cause she doesn't !!!!...

Thanks for the listen Travis !!

That is the very reason I recorded it..got stuck in my head too....but being my head has a problem with memory, I thought, what if it goes away and I kinda liked it...so I recorded.

I checked out the Morely switch. I may just get one of those. Always happy to buy more gear... Thanks for the push....

I will check on the blankets too Rez...thanks for all the good suggestions.

LOL !!! The red has to stay.
