    I agree with your band's approach. I did not say to definitely record with a click! But if you practice to a click every day (especially if you usually don't), you'll have a much easier job overall when it comes to the actual recording. I just believe recorded "life" provides much less wiggle room compared to live "life". I have seen studio guys fixing that "life" with a weary face when the bass misses those ones on the bass drum 😁

    I was thinking of sharing like a 2-3 second part, but I understand. I do not understand any of the rest though 😅

    As my friend in the studio says: this is EXACTLY what ALL musicians believe 😁

    edit: whoah did not realise I am reacting to something from 2023 lol How are you recording your mono bass signal in stereo, and why? 🤔 Why is the camera important? All cameras record audio in rather crappy quality and they are directly connected via USB, not a Scarlett. If you have a Scarlett, isn't your bass plugged in directly? I'm happy to try to help, I just don't understand your current situation 🙂

    I am no acoustics expert but as far as I know bad acoustics can't really cause a tremolo effect, mostly just unwanted echo/reverb/jingling highs. Do you hear the tremolo too when the bass is recorded alone, or only when played together with the guitarist singer? Can you plug the bass in directly into this specific Tascam? Can you share a short clip of said tremolo?

    It's not here yet... According to tracking info it's resting in an Esso (yodel pickup) next to Liverpool... but can't wait, this will be very useful for my hobbyist home recording setup.

    Practice to a click every day. Maybe you're already doing this, but if you aren't, it will make a difference!

    If you'd choose Reaper (which I really suggest ), here's the easiest way to learn it, Kenny explains it really well:

    Stringsdirect seems to be in on the sale game: https://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/collections/bass-guitar-string-sets?filter.p.m.specification.brand=D'Addario&sort_by=price-descending

    I think for this specific competition, if you write and actually play the bassline, then just use AI to get something to go with it, that should be fine. I don't do it, just saying 😅

    Amazing stuff. Can't wait to have the spare time to join these efforts myself again!

    Hey, I'm crap but I do have two cameras. I don't need to do miming to have multiple camera angles, and it's not hard to do. I'm sure Charles can afford 2-3 proper cams as well 😁

    What a lovely colour! I'd be taking this right now for this price if it wasn't a long cale. Good luck!

    I had fake Elixirs from Amazon, missing the nanoweb coat, looking used... only buying from proper retailers since.

    Let me summon my inner grumpy old man. Subjectively I think 95% of the world has terrible, terrible musical taste. Otherwise autotuned, musically completely empty crap by some "Li'l Facetattoo" would not be popular, but it is. Or anything done by the likes of Kanye West, where I have been struggling for years to understand WHY? I simply could not feel an ounce of musicality, talent, or any positive factor at all when trying my best to understand this "music"... So yeah, AI music will be written for these people, and it might become popular, but will this matter to the rest of us? Will it change anything that the tasteless boring crap they consume is not done by people any more? Pop overlords will realise AI is simply cheaper than a narcissistic idiot who might become a public hitler fan one day. People who can't stand this type of dull nothingmusic will continue to look for proper, exciting music created by other people. The same rate of people will listen to good music and crap music. And I simply don't think GOOD music will be taken over by AI... and looking at the current state of pop music, I don't even mind if AI eats it all up. Maybe those "musicians' will have to learn not to be boring.

    I can always appreciate someone spending a ridiculous amount of time to properly pimp out a cheaper Ibanez! My Talman mods defo worth more than the bass itself, I really do get it!

    Oh my, I haven't seen the OLP logo for about 16 years, when I sold my sparkly silver Stingray... 😂 And I always appreciate a nice mirror pickguard 😁
  19. BabyBlueSound
    The case is a perfect fit! The leather plectrums are ridiculously good for this bass, never tried them before.
  20. BabyBlueSound
    Interesting you mention the stickiness, I consider these very slippery strings and I like them for it! Never tried on a fretless though. If you want them to die a little bit, I think you need literally any other flats that sound more "dead" from right the start
  21. BabyBlueSound
    I can imagine it's fine in a band where you mostly need the low end, I am also quite alright with it when plugged in to my tiny home amp, but try recording it... it's really the worst. Of course one should never record with old strings anyway, so... 😁 But still, this price/lifetime ratio is the only factor keeping me from buying these strings forever.
  22. BabyBlueSound
    Cobalt flats are so good. I don't like the flat sound but love the flat feel under my fingers, so it's perfect for me with it's round-like sound. However once it gets dull, it SUCKS. I have a new set so will do a comparison soon, but it's hard to record a bass-like sound with a used one. Lifeless thumps. Lifespan is much, much shorter than Elixirs. Sometimes the string ends can get a bit brownish rust on them, and I don't even store it in a humid environment! I keep the old ones on the Sterling to practice now, so I don't wear the new ones down before recording them. They're expensive for the sound's lifespan.
  23. BabyBlueSound
    Oh, I did not realise! Cool
  24. BabyBlueSound
    It's just nicer, and a bit easier to install, but there's really not a lot of difference. A new set of Elixirs is actually on the way. Currently I use EB Cobalt flats, those do not have a shortie version either.
  25. BabyBlueSound
    Well you did not ask me, but I had Elixirs before on both my Ibanez and Sterling short scales, can be cut down with no issues. E string's winding can get bulky and tricky but nothing crazy.
