Ive never understood that either. Soundchecking a song, using a different style of playing... utter nonsense.

We can't all like the same thing I guess! 😛

The funny thing about this track, is that whenever I hear it, I don't think about slap bass, I think about the General Midi slap bass patch. It's like a demo you got on Window 3.11 media player.

Does nothing for me!

You've just quoted my complete slap repertoire. Banging slap tracks aren't they?

That's the thing isn't it? In most situations, it's completely inappropriate!

I was a "Hi, I'm Jon Liebman., Welcome to funk bass", scholar.

I don't really find myself playing much slap - but recently did a cover where I was apeing the Level 42 collab performance with Swing Out Sister. As a rule, I don't "get" Level 42. Never have done. Now, the question is, is the song better or worse for having a slapped bass line? I would have said, ugh slap... but after hearing how it came out, I'm actually indifferent and either version floats my boat.

I’m not sure that this is true in this case...

Had another bash at a collab over the bank holiday... my 'rona hair growth is coming on. (I shaved it off after this video as it was getting on my t1ts (which have also grown somewhat from the constant snacking)!)

Nice work. Is this mono or stereo?

Thanks! its a GB Spitfire...

Lock down recordings are the thing right now... so... here we go.

Ha! I recognise that bass. Anyway... https://www.bowfinishing.co.uk They would have done the original finish.

It’s the cumulative latency of both the interface and the wireless unit that is getting you. A cheap USB interface is found to be introducing 7 or 8 ms of latency... so as soon as you go over 10ms, as you notice, things start to go a little wrong...

Indeed. That’s the idea!

Aye. Disruptive dinosaurs. Doesn't really give me any incentive to continue.

But that is something that is not relevant to FRFR explicitly. There are systems that do that - but they aren’t exactly perfect, especially because an empty room doesn’t respond the same way to a room with people in. Pink noosing a room with people in is pretty antisocial. That’s personal opinion. Plenty of people do like modellers. Plenty of people like mic pres into a FRFR cab. In a blind test, most people can’t tell the difference between a traditional or modelled setup. Those that proclaim that they can are usually kidding themselves. Ok. I’m not sure what you are asking or trying to achieve in this thread then...? If you are used to a desk into headphones, assuming that your headphones are fairly flat (or reference) and not a set with some crazy baked in response, then a channel strip (eg no modeller) into a FRFR cab would make perfect sense.

There is. It’s called tuning your setup to the room and is what a 31 band is used for. What you describe however, is the same for FRFR and traditional setups... so it’s a moot point. Most digital amplifiers will HPF at circa 40hz out the box anyway. As for the higher content, well, if you are using something like a modeller, all that EQing will be done in the model. If you aren’t using a modeller, then yes, your reasoning with regard to high end detail is right - if that is what you are looking for. What preamp or modeller you choose is up to you. Not every modeller does this - and given the amount of time purists out there, if this truly was the case (it isn’t) then the sales figures of these systems would fall in line with that argument (they don’t) We can’t hold the designers responsible for shortfalls if the end user is not using the systems in the manner for which they are intended.

Lets get it started then!
