Bought a compressor from Stevie, a very smooth transaction with a really sound chap.

[quote name='Lozz196' post='1011612' date='Nov 4 2010, 07:44 AM']Bruce Foxton in The Jam, and JJ Burnell in The Stranglers bringing the bass up front in the music inspired me.[/quote] Hearing the Beatles and Motown as a kid got me noticing basslines, the above got me playing.

I'm another H2 user, Great for live recording using the mics - even better using tape out from the PA I like to use it as a studio mic for vocals,cabs, ambient etc - standalone or into the interface It can be used as a USB mic or interface if you wish too...

You could use our humble home studio here - with drums,bass and guitar amps,mics etc available - very,very welcome...

Breathe and relax....

These work well - great detailed sound for the size.. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/maudio_studiopro_3.htm"]M-audio StudioPro 3[/url]

You do have to set an output for your MIDI channel.[/quote] Oops, It's been so long since I used the Microsoft SW synth - I'd forgotten all about it. I have only ever used MIDI for drums and keys as I record my own (and Wifey's) bass and guitar - so I never needed a full band file.

You need to run the midi file through a VSTi ( basically, an instrument added as an effect) to get sound - google 'free vsti' to see the multitude of free drums, pianos etc. I use and recomend [url="http://www.reaper.fm/"]Reaper[/url] so I cant help with adding a VSTi to Cubase... to add a VSTi in reaper you simply add a midi file to a track click the track fx button and add the instument you want. Reaper is an fully functional unexpiring demo,btw.

Sennerheiser HD202 - £17 from Amazon... Great bass and sound quality.

On my 80's Tokai Jazz... 37.5cm from back edge of bridge pickup 31cm from back edge of neck pickup

Bassmasta has [url="http:///www.bassmasta.net/r/rolling_stones,_the/151971.html"]this tab[/url] - haven,t tried it myself tho'....

I don't get it... why the disdain? I really like U2 - have done for 25 years or so...

I'd be interested in picking this up if I could - it's just what I'm after... if Neil changes his mind, of course

If you are not using Vista, [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=38159"]this[/url] Tascam might be worth a look...

You can send that DI straight into the line/mic in on your macbook (with a [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mono-3-5mm-6-35mm-Socket-Adapter/dp/B000LATJC4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1235225810&sr=8-2"]1/4'' to1/8'' mono adapter[/url]) Not as good as a USB or firewire interface but it'll get you started with little outlay....

[quote name='bassman2790' post='415537' date='Feb 20 2009, 04:35 PM']I'm currently using Cool Edit Pro which only uses DirectX plugins. Is there an easy to use equivalent that uses VST's[/quote] How about easy to use ,yet powerful - unlimited tracks /routing and VST slots..... and will see most audio file formats and DX effects. I'm talking about [url="http://reaper.fm/download.php"]Reaper[/url], an unexpiring unrestricted demo - well worth the $50 registration fee... From the Reaper forum - [url="http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=563&highlight=free+vst"]The Good Free effect Plug-in Thread[/url]

+10000 for Reaper - so good I paid for it!

After trying out several DAW's I ended up using [url="http://reaper.fm/download.php"]Reaper[/url]. It is an unexpiring, fully featured demo that will let you work on those songs using as many VST's as you want.... Tip: Add the (included) Event Horizon2 Limiter onto the master track, set the ceiling at 0.01 the gradually raise the threshold until you have your desired volume....

[quote name='cytania' post='381688' date='Jan 15 2009, 08:23 PM']Thanks to my bass tutor for this. It's a simple funky line that that will give that 'dit-dat-dee-dat' 'Get It On' groove. ------------------- --2----------------- ---------4----2--4- ---------------------[/quote] I'm thinking that would sound a tad empty with just 1 guitarist..... I play this, shuffles it along nicely ------------------- --2-2----------2------ ---------4-------4- ---------------------

I sorted my jazz neck with the finest wire wool I could lay my hands on - worked a treat!
