If you only need to replace the audio, have a look at Reaper - it actually has basic video capabilities in addition to being a fully-featured (free!) DAW.

 

Reaper is brilliant for syncing audio to video because its very easy to stretch the audio to fit the video

Well it does say "The world's best bass player of all time" so I guess thats means "technically the best", but when it comes to inspiration and the pure joy of watching and hearing bass players, then for me, it got to be Norman Watt-Roy, followed closely be The "Ox" John Entwistle

NinJam apparently works really well. It’s part of Reaper.

Having just watched a few video's on YouTube about NinJam, that looks really interesting, I use Reaper a lot so I might spend some time trying to get my head around it, thanks for the head's up. 👍

Me and my mate (guitarist) have been wanting to jam together over the internet for some time, so with the present crisis we are all in, now would be a good time to seriously look into the options.

Have anyone tried using JamKazam or Jammr for example?

I know latency problems can be a major drawback, but if we are connected directly into the router with an ethernet cable, would it work ok?

I have interfaces and know how to record onto my laptop etc, but my mate doesn't, I know he will invest in an interface if we can jam together from home without too many problems, so just wondering if any of you B/C'ers can give some advice please.

Cheers

Great playing Dave, and that looks like 89 euro's well spent to me.

Out of interest, how do you manage to get over 2000 views in just three days?

I have a number of video's on YouTube and some have been on for years and I've never got past 50, and most of them would be people I know.

I haven't got a clue how to use YouTube to its full potential. 🤔

I used to always have trouble with AC/DC's Live Wire when I had to start the song on the B, once everything else kicks in after around 40 seconds I was ok, but if I thought about keeping perfect timing, the more likely I would drift 😯

Ashdown James LoMenzo HyperDrive - Bass Distortion Pedal

SOLD!

Hardly used and in great condition

The Ashdown James Lomenzo Hyperdrive Pedal is an ultra versatile bass distortion pedal with the ability to deliver your original bass dry tone and distortion - never get lost in the mix again.

During more than 30 years experience playing and recording with iconic rock musicians including Zakk Wylde’s Black Label Society, David Lee Roth, Ozzy Osbourne, Slash’s Snake Pit, White Lion and now Megadeth, James envisioned a bass drive effect that operates entirely unlike any other distortion unit currently available. Now Ashdown has made that vision a reality. 

In the LoMenzo Hyper Drive, a band of frequencies within the midrange of the bass signal is filtered out and the distortion effect is added only to this band. The filtered frequencies can be ‘tuned’ to the precise range that gives the optimum effect. The degree of distortion available is variable from a subtle break up to huge overdrive, enabling a new range of extreme effects for bass to be created. The distortion effect can then be mixed with the original dry bass signal to maintain a powerful, full-bodied bass tone with distortion overtones. 

“I’ve been using the Hyper Drive every night and it’s truly astounding,” reports James from the current Megadeth tour. “It turns all my basses into fire breathers!”

Could you be over thinking this one? Before investing in new gear, see what the new ensemble sounds like together. Daniel Spriewald's tone may be completely wrong for it.

 

Possibly, but the guitarist and myself have been playing together for over five years and we've usually had a second guitarist, but we feel we would like to try going down the power trio route so this pedal could help me a lot in filling out the sound, and if Daniel Spriewald's tone is not quite right, then there should be plenty of other tones I could try with this pedal.

At the moment, I don't use any pedals other than my Boss TU-3 tuner, so this would replace my tuner and give me a lot of options regarding tone in just one unit. 😉

Thanks guys, I was edging towards the Tech21 DP3X, but you've now convinced me. 😉

Ok, after a bit of researching some of your suggestions, its a toss-up between the Tech 21 BSDR SansAmp Bass Driver DI V2 Pedal and the Tech 21 dUg Pinnick DP-3X Signature Pedal.

Thanks for the advice so far.

I use various Precision basses, Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2 and a Barefaced Super Twin Cab

I’m thinking about forming a power trio with my guitarist mate, up until now we have always played lighter rock so I’ve never really bothered that much with pedals, but I would love to produce a bass tone similar to what Daniel Spriewald achieves when playing with Phil X and The Drills.

Yes I know that even if my rig was exactly the same in every detail to what Daniel uses, I would never be as good as him, I still wouldn't sound like him, and it’s all in the fingers etc, but if I can add some grind and distortion without losing the bottom end, I think it would help big time with what we want to achieve.

If anyone can give me some advice on what pedals might help, I would very much appreciate it, but please go easy on me, I’m a complete novice when it comes to using pedals.

My rig consists of:

Various Precision Basses, Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2, Barefaced Super Twin Cab

I have barefaced covers for mine and they look exactly the same as the Hotcovers ones  that I later bought for my JC120 and PB Briefcase. Plus you can have your own logo put on the cover too. The Black 600D Canvas ones seem the most hardwearing. They don't list barefaced but If you gave the measurements I'm sure they could knock one for you or just use the barefaced template if they are the same company that makes the barefaced ones. 

https://www.hotcovers.co.uk

They look decent quality but I've already ordered one from Barefaced 

Despite saying I think I might go for the Roqsolid cover, after getting to the final checkout with 5mm padding, VAT, and shipping added on, I decided to pay a little bit extra go with the Barefaced cover instead.

I've had both and currently have the BF cover on mine.  The BF ones have more padding, are stiffer and offer more protection.  They also have 'Barefaced' written on the side that covers the grill so you know which way round they go    The Roqsolid ones fold down easier and keep the weather off but offer little protection, although you can get one with a pouch that allows a sheet of something stiff to be slid into place to protect the grill.

Depends what you want it to do really and whether you have steel or cloth grill?  I have the steel grill, which is pretty hard wearing and will take some knocks, so I mainly need a cover to keep the weather off when loading in or out at gigs and was perfectly happy with the Roqsolid ones.  It just so happens that my latest acquisitions were secondhand and both came with the BF covers. 

Thanks for the info Paul, I think I might go for the Roqsolid because its really just to give it a little bit of protection between the car and the venue

Just got myself a Barefaced Super Twin and want to get a cover for it, but the Barefaced covers are extremely expensive being twice the price of the equivalent Roqsolid cover.

Anyone have experienced of both, how do they compare?

Here's an update.

Tech support finally asked me to return the interface and fair play to them, within a couple of day they confirmed that it was faulty and sent me a replacement.

The new interface works how it should, the signal is recognised by the DAW and the green light comes on as the gain is turned almost immediately.

So its a big thumbs up for Mackie tech support. 👍

Ah, numpty fleabag

Dont upload here , use a linky !

 

Or just convert it to a QuickTime (.mov) file, then you can upload it direct because the file size will be very small

Meeting up for the first time with three other muso's through JoinMyBand exactly a year ago, we plugged in, tuned up, and the first half-a-dozen songs we played all sounded great, everyone had done their homework and had actually worked on the songs we agreed to run through before turning up.

Best first meeting I've ever been involved in, and we are still together now. 🙂

Don't know whether I should admit this or not, but I had to search on YouTube for "The Gambler", I've never heard of it and didn't recognised it when it started playing.

I have have always steered well clear of country music because I just don't like it, I respect all genres of music, but country just isn't for me. 😉
