If you're bored with your bass tones and are looking for something new and FREE, check this one out! it's maybe my absolute favourite bass amp plugin. Check out the demo song for a better reference.

Bought an item from him and I couldn't be happier with the communication and how helpful he was. Top bloke to deal with.

You should be fine as there's a lot of developing been done. Do not be surprised if you plug it and just works and don't be surprised too if when plugged it comes as some generic USB name.

One of these will solve your problem, it costs like £30

Dude mastering is the easy part of the process, it shouldn't take you more than 15 mins if you have the right plugins. Check out Graham Cochrane's video on how to master in 10 mins it's great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0Jx2h-lQkA

I think you can tell the midi device where your middle C will be, this is in the Midi device setup in any DAW. I've had the same issues. BTW is you want to change drum kits, you can record using Power Drumkit (I do the same) and then you can change the drumkit plugin. Sometimes I use "Big Mono" through Kontact (it runs for 30 mins on the free player) and Drumic'a works very well too.

I think I have one of those black boxes (potted in red wax if I'm not mistaken) kicking around. I could look in my spare parts box if you are interested. I don't think I'll use it as I sold my pickups. I'm sure I even have the pots too.

Here is my contribution to this thread: [b]- MT PowerDrumkit 2:[/b] This is a free drum kit and like EZ Drums it has free drum samples, it can be loaded into a bus too. It's free to use but you'll have to skip the nag page every time you load your daw but if you contribute with let's say £5 it'll remove the nag page. http://www.powerdrumkit.com/ [b]- Sennheiser [/b][b]Drumic'a[/b][b]:[/b] This is free drum kit that uses Kontakt, this won't stop after 15 mins like most free Kontakt libraries. It is a whopping 9gb but sounds great and you can select among 3 mics to tailor your sound. Can be bussed too. Website is in German so you'll need Google Translate, just register to receive your activation code. http://de-de.sennheiser.com/drummica [b]- Ample Guitar M Lite II:[/b] This is an Acoustic guitar plugin, this thing sounds like the real deal, just check the samples. It has picking option and strumming option. just download and use it for free no questions asked. http://www.amplesound.net/en/pro-pd.asp?id=7

I'm too venturing into the world of recording, here's what I'm using so far: Audio Interfaces: - Digibox m2 mini - Behringer U-Phoria UMC22 (These are about £30 from Thomann and they sound very good. Don't let the brand name fool you ) Keyboard - Arturia Minilab (25 keys) DAW: - Reaper - Tracktion 5 (This is a fully featured DAW and totally free, not as fancy looking like the other but it's great) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXE9PJeQrSQ&list=PLGhDPxpNTpsrcpwBGYDYUNxtPy8-TaBtb Drums: - MT Power Drumkit 2 (The demo version comes with a free drum kit and lots of drum samples) http://www.powerdrumkit.com/ If you are interested in recording drums you can always use an electronic drum kit to trigger the drums. I hope this helps.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1493978968' post='3292285'] Suppose the best guitarist also has a huge ego and is difficult to work with. These types can hold back band progress.. The adequate guitarist with a great positive attitude and understands how to work with people and be in a band is the better choice. IMO A person everyone likes to be around. Blue [/quote] Blue is correct, as usual, his wisdom is infallible

I have the big brother BX500 head and using a 2x10 cab I haven't been able to go more than 9 o'clock without my guitar player complaining and that's in a gig. Those amps are extremely loud and their sound is nothing less than fantastic. I'm sure it'll be able to cope with any band.

I would recommend reading through this Talkbass thread, there is great information in it. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/behringer-bass-v-amp-pro.687422/

Or you could try Tracktion T5, it's totally free and fully featured. Unlimited tracks, buses, etc. https://www.tracktion.com/products/t5-daw

As for Daw if you haven't found out one I would recommend Tracktion T5, is fully featured and it is totally FREE!! it's very easy to use and there's tons of youtube videos that show you how to do everything.

Nice setup you have there Ped.

[quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1489093594' post='3254403'] I'm not too concerned about the Toneprint feature. I don't use any effects at all - completely dry signal. The extra 300W of the TC 800 might be useful to have up your sleeve, though. That said, my GKMB500 has always been plenty loud enough. And no - I don't want to use the MB500 with a seperate compressor pedal, thank you! [/quote] Then the best choice for you would be the Warwick, it's 500w with plenty of tone shaping and a compressor in a 1.5kg package. all that for £299 it's a steal.
