Hi all! I've been using an IOS plugin called MasterRecord for a while and I really love it but there's no OSX version and I'm looking for a good replacement. MasterRecord a tape-emulation plugin and I know that those have been discussed, in general, quit a bit. My specific use-case, though, is...

Sorry it's taken me a while to respond - I've been working like crazy lately! I appreciate the tips. I have a Rode NTK that I was using before I got the Shure so I'll knock out a recording with the two of them. I'll probably put the Rode near the bridge since it sounds best (with the acoustic...

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond, but I've been swamped for the last week. I'll definitely strum more quietly next time. I was afraid that it wouldn't sound assertive enough, but thanks to this thread I realize that I was on the wrong track. The pick noise has definitely been bothering...

Well, I bought the bass new and the knobs definitely don't have screws but I'm just going to take your advice and pick up some knobs that do have screws. That's a smart solution. Thanks, everyone!

I liked that quite a bit, actually. You write well. I think you could tighten up the performance a bit and follow the recording techniques suggested by those with more experience than myself and you'll be doing quite well. Also, I really didn't like that delay in the second link you posted (the...

Thanks for the advice, Steve. I posted a pic of what mine looks like. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. It's so silly!

Thanks for posting the picture. To me it looks like the one you posted except that it's smooth - it doesn't have ridges. Here's one that looks similar to me: I can't seem to push it on to save my life! Thanks!

OK...so...uh....I took the volume an tone knobs off of my Fender Squire Precision bass so that I could replace the pickups. They came off pretty easily with a hard pull. These are not the kind that have little screws in them. Now I can't seem to get them back on. I haven't found an answer on...

Ah. Well, I definitely strum loudly. That's something I'm beginning to notice too. The guitar is an all-wood Guild (GA-30r) that set me back ~$700 and people generally give very high reviews to. My guess is that any tone problems result from a lack of proper technique on my part combined with...

OK, thanks! I used to record with a large diaphragm mic (Rode NTK) and it has much more bass presence, but is also kind of nasty-sounding in the mid range (at least in this case). Perhaps I'll try mixing the two. Haha. Yes, indeed! I'm pretty diverse, stylistically speaking, so I'm just...

I bought a crybaby 18 years ago and it just sliced my tone into nothingness. Of course, I realize that it's a bandpass filter, but it was just silly sounding to me. Later I saw a local band who's guitarist had a really fat wah sound and so I spoke with him about it. He'd had the same experience...

Thanks, Light! (In the interest of full disclosure, because I had just read your post before replying I almost wrote "Thanks, Nut!" How great would that have been? :) )

That, Muttley, was a beat down response if I've ever seen one. One day somebody is going to stumble on this thread and be really grateful to you!

Really? Thanks. Anyone else?

Ok, here we go. As I mentioned, here's what I'm doing now and here's an example of the result: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?p=3155911#post3155911
