krispn Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Hey BC Brigade My old house mate found out her work buddy was a producer/hip hop nut who gave me this track to add some bass to. This is a rough sketch with a couple of timing issues *ahem* but I think its the final version Im gonna bounce back to him as my effort (once I have re-recorded it that is!) Before I do so I'd really appreciate feedback and constructive criticism. Its been played on a P bass with the tone right off, flatwound strings and I was going for my idea of a '70's tone'. I have added some EQ via garageband for what I think is a punchy, yet fat, tone. I know the mix isn't that great but he'll be getting a raw file to add and mix down as he sees fit so from that aspect its not an issue - this is just a quick sketch. I felt the original track was repetitive, but not in a bad way - its a great track- so I wanted to try and create three distinct sections playing something different on each pass kinda thing- a riff, a solid line and then something with a bit of movement adding to the 'drama'........ Well either that and I just tried to be groovy Thanks in advance folks and don't mind the 70's pic's. I had to add something to make it a bit more interesting Plus its only available via this link for now as its a demo track.

WHUFC BASS Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Not bad - drums too high up in the mix I reckon. Bass is a bit muffled. Horns should be central in the mix - they seem to be panned a bit to the left. Apart from that, not bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleblob Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I liked the tune, but in this style of music the bass (at least in my opinion) cuts through the mix a lot more. I didn't feel the bass was as punchy as maybe it could have been. I'd agree with WHUFC BASS in that it seemed a little muffled. Unfortunately I'm no expert on mixing so I'm sorry to say I can only venture an opinion, not offer any plausible solutions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumple Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Really like that, nices 70's vibe and a great bassline, as mentioned before the bass is probably a bit too muffled for this type of music. Be good to hear the finished tune when it's done. R. PS Good to see some Pam Grier pics to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
