I'm assuming you have a load of audio tracks lined up in a DAW on your computer and you just can't get your mix to sound right? I think a good tip is to start with the drums. Get the sounding great on their own, and have them so loud that they would clip if you didn't...... put a limiter on the kick and snare so that the very loudest peaks get "limited" down. IF the drums sound great, start mixing in the bass. Keep listening to the drums, and as they start to sound less good, think about what frequencies in the bass are affecting the drums, and try to EQ to compensate. If you have multiple layers of bass - why? Are they doubling a single part? For what reason? It may be necessary to cross them over using EQ, you may have to inverse the phase of one of them etc. Then add in the guitar and vocals. A good tip above is "use fairly heavy equalisation". You may end up with EQ settings that look rediculous, but SOUND good. If you get a rough mix done, upload it here and we can tell you what to do to it.

No I hadn't, thankyou!

I don't understand why it would be anything to do with the sender. If USPS acknowledge that they picked it up, they should be able to tell you where it is.

I play a 6 string, with lots of effects. I like to play rock with a groove, but i'm up for anything. I can only commit to one practice a week at first as I "play" the drums in 2 other bands, but I would love for bass playing to be my main thing again. If anyone fancies starting a band or if any existing bands around stoke/stone/newcastle are after a bassist let me know! go to www.no-logo.ws to hear my bass playing.

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='311107' date='Oct 21 2008, 10:39 AM']the sensitivity setting has to be set for every bass you use.[/quote] Surely that's obvious and the same for any dynamic-following pedal.

Feature-wise, I really want a Peavey Tmax. It has everything I want in a bass amp, but then I gig with a guitar amp too.

When adaptors are so easy, cheap, and small, why the hell can't they just build them into the pedals?

I don't know how to create a section in the wiki, but if someone does it I will pour in all of my knowledge.

Are you bothered about amp modelling or just effects?

Let's do it in the Wiki, I would contribute.

Amps (in my experience) are prone to accidents, rather than wear and tear. IE it's a lot more likely that your amp will die if someone drops it, than it is that your amp will die from lots of use. It doesn't sound like you need the money? If it were me, i'd have them sign something to guarantee they'll replace it if it breaks on their watch, or if you have insurance to guarantee that they'll pay the excess. If I was getting paid £150 per gig, i'd probably buy my own compact rig!

This is the first time i've heard of of this amp. Looking at it, it's great value even without hearing it.

I would get your perfect sound using the zoom, and then buy pedals to do the same function as the modules you're using in the zoom. You might then regret it as the quality wont be much different to the Zoom and you'll have spent a load of money but....

If the pre-amp out is pre EQ and the only other outputs on your amp are for the speakers, I really wouldn't bother mucking about, just EQ it once it's recorded. Otherwise you'd need some sort of dummy speaker DI type thingy. Maybe someone will post about one!

[quote name='redstriper' post='305751' date='Oct 13 2008, 08:05 PM']The answer is more likely to be in adding another speaker and running the amp at 4 ohms, which is probably my next step. That way I can keep the sound I like and just get that bit more volume, I'm not sure whether to go for another 15 or a 2 x 10, or even a 4 x 10, but I don't want it to be too heavy and it needs to match the 15 for volume.[/quote] Or just get a very loud 4 ohm 1 x 15" cab?

Heh, Ferret - where is all this hype and hysteria? I've not read of any.

Part of me is glad you got it going, but part of me is going to miss the ranting.

Heh, maybe you should write an idiot's guide and put it in the wiki!

I was really looking forward to this but had a c*** of a day trying to get my fecking car to start. It's working now but too late to go to the gathering. Balls!!! I'd love to see some pics of the gear that made it up there!?
