13 noodles. 13 minutes. But there can be only 1 Noodle Bar champion! Or maybe two. Three. Yeah, whatever.


^ Just look at this guy. He knows what's at stake here.

This seems more like an idea I could get into. Question though. Is it allright to have more than one bass track? Reason I ask if I'm currently working on a melody type thing for my bands song but if I can't have the guitar track in the back I'd do the chords...doesn't really make sense otherwise!

Edit : The title seems perfect to me!

Oh go on then! :D

PS: the rules are deliberately vague at present, so I'm fine with any 'creative license', within reason. Just keep it to bass only, to give everyone a level playing field.

Anyone got any advice on how to do the actual recording? What gear would you use?

I'm up for it anyway :)

Video would be good, even if it's only of you with bass and hands, so noobs can watch an learn techniques from others.

Sure!

The [i]very simplest[/i] option is to use a smartphone if you have one. Just place it a few feet from your speaker cab, hit record and start playing. It'll sound rather crap, but that doesn't matter. We're interested in good baselines for this challenge, not necessarily good recordings.

A better option would be use something like a [url="https://zoom-na.com/products/field-video-recording/field-recording/zoom-h1-handy-recorder"]Zoom H1[/url] portable mic.

Better still would be to DI (direct input) your bass or amp into a computer and record using free software - like [url="http://www.audacityteam.org"]Audacity[/url] [i](very easy to use) [/i]- or a digital audio workstation, like [url="http://www.reaper.fm"]Reaper[/url] [i](more difficult to use but more rewarding).[/i]

Plenty of info on this subject here:

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/248509-beginners-guide-to-home-recording/"][b]Beginner's Guide to Home Recording[/b][/url]

If you get stuck or want any help - just ask :)

Video is a great idea for anyone willing and able!

I say that as a noob who's very keen to learn from others :)

I suppose that keyboard bass lines are out..? Just 'real' basses, no Prophets, Moogs or stuff..?
[/quote]

Good question Doug! Let's keep it to bass of the stringed variety for this initial trial.

If it works out, we can perhaps look to include synth bass in future.

Well it's nice to see the idea gained a bit more support it seems.

I suppose I best enter myself.

I shall be trying to record in the very simplest and quickest form possible in the true spirit of the 60 sec noodle. I might just plonk an iPad or phone near the amp and no fx, or I might record direct and add a bit of fx.

... or both, to illustrate the difference..? :)
