[quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1340815423' post='1710037'] I like that. Good tune, great bass tone. I'd love to hear it without the soundcloud distortion at some point. Good work, fella. [/quote] thanks Dr J...much appreciated. I will get a copy to you soon as it's all ready :-)

[quote name='WHUFC BASS' timestamp='1340809424' post='1709930'] That's superb mate, really good. Great bass sound too. I've almost worn out your first album from playing it in the car. Great stuff. As someone pointed out, its more like hardcore than metal which I actually prefer - much more fast and aggressive. Any more releases due soon ? [/quote] thanks butty, means a lot :-) long time no speak - hope you're well. If you want me to send you another copy of the first album just let me know, thats not a problem. Releasewise we're probably going to out a 3 track ep as an inbetweener while we're writing our second album. Deceiver will be on the ep. Free download and diy hardcopies will be available i expect. Nowt fancy really, just hoping to get some gigs off the back of it as we are really struggling to get shows as per usual :-)

Hehe nice one butty :-) pm me tho as im not on here much these days

Charic if you want to do that then its up to you...feel free to pm me your findings

Cheers Charic thanks for commenting. All vvery valid points and duly noted. Still working on the mix but having a few days off to reset my brain :-P Havn't tried it on cans yet but intend to shortly. My monitors are just jumped up pc speakers at the mo lol. Cheers Tim

Cheers EH thanks for the comment :-) The drums are real, no replacements or vsti. Yes it will need mastering, and yeah there's defo a hardcore vibe running through this tune. Soundcloud does mess with the sound a bit unfortunately. Buggers! Cheers Tim

Hi lovely people of the fair land of basschat Here's a new tune from my band Argonaut. All recorded and mixed by yours truly. It's almost finished now, just a few minor tweaks to the mix to be done... [url="http://www.soundcloud.com/argonautmusic"]http://www.soundcloud.com/argonautmusic[/url]

Hi all Long time spector with rounds player here. Been using dr high beam 45- 105 for years. Wouldn't mind having a blast with some flats. I play a fretted euro lx with the tonepump circuit and emg p/j pups. Can anyone recommend a good set to buy? They need to be as flexible as possible ideally. Anyone got the same bass and tried flats with it? Cheers Tim

'Have a cup of tea, have another cup' I don't know why, but that line has stuck in my head all these years from my dad playing so much Gong when I was a kid.

Cracking song that. Well done! Mix is great for me at this end.

Cheers 51mOn, you're a leg-end. I'll be back at some point with more questions no doubt

A friend thankfully turned me on to John Martyn a couple of years back with the 'late night john' album. It's brilliant. Bought the album solid air after that, equally as nice. Beautiful basslines and songs.

Thanks 51mOn that's a lot of help. It took a while and a bunch of research before I pulled the trigger on the livebook, but as you said, should hopefully save a bit of ar$ing about. Regarding my 16 track and previous recording experience, I've never used groups or made submixes, mainly through not knowing how to and not fully understanding them. I'd always just work the individual faders/eq until I was happy. I'd add some light compression to the master sometimes and occasionally i'd add some reverb/delay through to one or two channels but that's about it. So, I've used it in a pretty basic sense in that i'd have all the tracks recorded on the 16 tracks, and just mix from there. I read a post by you talking about groups/sub mixes and that sort of got me thinking, thinking that i've really got to get to know how to do all of this properly. Something else that has been bothering me. How do I visually monitor my input gain when recording a track, say bass? My interface doesn't have meters. I'm assuming the meters are on the software are they? I'm going to be bugging people on the reaper forum a lot I guess! Thanks

[quote name='lanark' post='1295738' date='Jul 7 2011, 10:37 AM']When you've got this set up, I'd love it if you could give us a review of it all. It's something that I've often wondered about it putting together a recording kit and it would be interesting to see others' experiences.[/quote] Yeah sure, although be warned I'm not the best on computer set ups I'm used to recording on good old 8 and 16 tracks. This is my first foray into using computers and software for audio, and i'm just realising the size of the can of worms I've opened. It's going to be a tough yet fun and fulfilling learning curve. (i hope). I've got most of the bits I need to get going, and have managed to set them up. I've spent the last 24 hours trying to resolve a screen issue, which was resolved by using the HDMI connects rather than the Dsub (vga). So i'm literally learning all of this from the ground up. Next job is to connect my interface and get that set up properly. An easy task for some, a mighty task for my 'newb' status. I've had a brief read through of the very dense Reaper manual and I must say, it is daunting compared to my humble recording experience!!!! I'm definitely going to get stuck with this but will (fingers crossed) get there in the end. Time, practice and patience is hopefully going to get me up and running eventually. If anyone has great experience with reaper and can offer tips, links, or anything you think might be useful, please chip in

Yeah i'll be paying it in any case, as you said, cheap as chips!

Ok guys, my new set up has arrived. 1 Rain Livebook (windows 7 pro64, i7 dual, 8GBram, 750GB HDD) 1 express card Firewire connect 1 Tascam us-1800 interface (USB2.0 connect) 1 24" LCD monitor Pair of MAudio AV40 speakers. It's got reaper installed, will get the license when it expires in due course. I have a paper copy of the reaper manual and also saved as PDF on my lappy. Pretty excited about getting stuck into this although i'm fully aware it's going to be one hell of a learning curve. Expect some questions soon (if you don't mind helping here and there)

This is interesting. Pardon me for dropping in here. I'm about to start attempting to learn reaper with zero experience. I've got the manual printed out and the quick start guide. Some excellent reference points you've made there lads!

A1+ basschatter. Traded my musket for his SFT. A really nice guy, so don't hesitate at all to deal with him!

Thanks a lot, that does help. With regard to the interface - as i'm going to be recording up to 8 tracks (drums) at once, does this need to reflect with the number of I/O on the chosen unit? i.e 8x8? Or am I barking up the wrong tree here. Confused.com
