BT Red, with oyster shell pick guard..?

September not yet gone and it's Christmas already..?

Is the bass recorded/mixed in stereo..? If so, try making the bass a simple mono track and see what difference that makes. Listening through monitors and headphones, I find the bass (and bass drum...) to be distinctly indistinct, and low in the mix; quite unusually so for a 'reggae' feel. There may be a phase issue here.

Aha; thanks. Does an ugly name count at all..? Asking for a friend. ...

Would the mention 'Yellowhouse' on the backdrop be a subtle clue, perhaps..? ...

And that amorphous blob in your avatar pic is a..? ...

Would that be valve watts, though..? I played outdoor gigs with my Fender Bassman, 50w valves. Say what you will, valve watts just ain't the same.

Update : Reply from Sam Pura, CEO, saying that this issue has been reported, but they're not yet sure why it occurs (they are on Mac's, mostly...). As a work-around, he suggested that setting Reaper's sample rate to 48000 should work. I did this, and, sure enough, it now rings out, clear as a bell..! What effect this may have on existing projects, with other sample rates, I don't know, but this snare now sounds, and sounds fine. Very detailed, with a wealth of presets for me to wade through; I'm not sure yet how it will fit in with my compositions, but it certainly has a quality sound. Thanks, then, for the 'heads up'; hoping there'll be an evolution rendering messing about redundant; in the meantime, I've a lot of snare stuff to listen to, now. Cheers.

Downloaded, installed, library paths declared, registered... All fine except that it's dumb..! I can't get a sound out of it. I can't complain for the price, and it must be something stupid I've overlooked, but no judgement on its sonic qualities from me until it actually plays something. I have the interface, and can 'strike' the drum head, but no sound. I can trigger it through MIDI in Reaper, but no sound. Odd..? Yes. There is an error message when I launch it, telling me that 'The buffer size of 49 is not supported, Use a multiple of 8.', which may be responsible, but I have no idea where it gets the strange figure of '49' from. I've looked all through Reaper for any such mention; there is none, nothing with a '49' anywhere. Sorcery, I say; sorcery. I've sent the fellow an email, asking for advice and/or clarification; we'll see what becomes of it.

Mmm... Tea..!

Far better to have a boring one than a leg missing.

Have you had a look at this (Monster Drums...)..? A free Vst plug-in that, I'd say with confidence, rivalises any of the same category. Easy to use, sounds more than 'fine', plenty of variants, and at an unbeatable cost (it's free...). Don't be fooled; it's free, but isn't 'cheap'. It's inexpensive, but sounds better than many costing... well, $250 for a 'Producer's Suite', for instance. Worth a look..? Monster Drums ... Disclaimer : I'm a drummer. I use expensive drum plug-ins, but also Monster Drums, as they're very good.

Good Stuff; thanks for sharing.

(Your secret is safe with me...)

I certainly enjoyed turning it off after... Well, a little too long. It had its chance.

Good luck getting decent intonation from the bridge adjusters.

(I'm A Little...) Apple Tree Warbler, with the Martin Spicer Band, using my Hofner President guitar as a bass, late '60s.

I plug the bass into the amp and that's it. Headstock tuner, s'all. KISS-style (Keep It Simple, Sonny...).

Fats Waller wouldn't get a look-in, then... ... nor Canned Heat ... There are plenty more.

If in a rural location, an electric fence might be the source of such interference. It's the case at our cottage; the car picks it up when tuned to Radio 4 long wave, too.

Wow..! Just 'Wow..!'

Sorry, too busy watching this paint dry, slowly. Disclaimer : I don't clean the car, either, nor sweep the floor (unless I've spilt something ...).

Ah, but that is the pleasure for those folk.
