rmshaw37 Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 ok, so here's a track we recorded for the new album, then sent it away for mix and master [attachment=61657:NG26___Otherside.mp3] thing is, distortion was added to it, so how do i get it live? in the studio i used punisher (emg goodness) sansamp rpm (DI'd) ampeg svt3 (just to power the cabs) ampeg 115en (miked) marshall 2 12 gu**ar cab (miked) i believe the distortion was only added to the guitar cab channel? was looking at the sansamp rbi or psa1 to try and re create it, obviously i will be splitting the channels to different amps and cabs but am i best to look at guitar distortion or one of these units? is a crossover needed? low end is more than nicely dealt with with the rpm through the 15 btw! thankyou my fellow bass chatters!!

Plugins or anything from Tools to get that distortion or was it purely from the Sansamp? Quote
Mr. Foxen Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Ask the guy who added it what he used, it would probably be simulating something if it was digital. Quote
rmshaw37 Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 there was a touch of overdrive on the sansamp, but not that much - if you can hear it, the lows are quite deep and fairly clean - this was the sound we left it with, then the studio we sent it to has added the extra distortion on the top end. thats just my opinion, let me know if you think its distorted across the full range. may need a system with a sub to hear the lows, normal computer speakers don't really give you the depth! thanks Quote
geoffbyrne Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 If you use the Marshall Guv'nor II, you'll find it has a 4 band EQ, so you can pretty much dial in any amount of distortion AND compensate for loss of the bottom end via the 'Superbass' and Bass EQs - and still have the Mids & Treble to play with!!!!

rmshaw37 Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 splendid - ideally i'd like to keep it in a rack (i seem to remember that being a pedal) currently running my hyperdrive out the rpm's unaffected out then rpm and hyperdrive through a stereo power amp, getting close, but no cigar lol Quote
