[/quote] They're to help him remember which keys trigger various samples & sequences, nothing to do with him not knowing what the notes are.

toneknob Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Someone somewhere should start making a range of Gefilter-branded bass hardware. It'll sell like hot sausages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesparky Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Very nice, great post - and something in there for me too.. I did actually utter the words "ooh, a Mac 2k wash" which was quickly followed by me being annoyed i wasn't paying enough attention to the backline.

xilddx Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 And all that 20 minutes was he listening to it in isolation? I have to say I don't dig on any of their sounds at the moment, haven't for a while TBH. Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures albums had their lovliest sounds for me. Just gorgeous to hear.

TimR Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I had to google instantiation! "In programming, instantiation is the creation of a real instance or particular realization of an abstraction or template such as a class of objects or a computer process. To instantiate is to create such an instance by, for example, defining one particular variation of object within a class, giving it a name, and locating it in some physical place. " I'm still not clear....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) [quote name='TimR' post='1312160' date='Jul 21 2011, 10:58 PM']I'm still not clear.......[/quote] Maybe looking up the definition of 'instance' would help. An 'instance' is a single something of a given type. Instantiation is the creation of an instance. In programming, you often define a set of values and the methods that are used to manipulate those values as a cohesive programming unit, and when you need to do some calculations for a set of data of that type, you create an 'instance' of your programming unit to do the job. The code you wrote is just a template for how those things are done, but when it's given an actual set of data to do it with, that is an 'instance', and that initialisation activity would be called instantiation. Edit: Just looked at the article. I guess 'Eleven' is an amp modelling simulation, so when he talks about an 'instantiation' of Eleven, it's because he could have several of them running if he wanted to, and each could be doing something different. That's a better example than my example. Edited July 21, 2011 by thisnameistaken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzMike Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I find it hard to believe the sound was setup in complete isolation .... maybe that's why live his sound is less than what it could be! Surely at that level of show there'd be lots of tweaks done (EQ / mixing / volume) on a per-venue basis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin_lindsay Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I actually loved Geddy's bass sound when I saw them in May. It sounded amazing where I was sitting - directly in line with the mixing desk (so maybe I had the luxury of hearing what the house engineers were hearing also?

KevB Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Quote 'Geddy Lee’s bass sound is a combination of five channels, which represent various aspects of an entire bass sound, and run from clean to distorted-beyond-all-reason' Not enough of the former an way too much of the latter still for me. As others have said, it's not what he likes or wants in some isolated booth that's really the important thing. It's what it sounds like in the mix of drums, guitars, keyboard samples or whatever else is going on with it in a particular song. They'd be better off starting with a half decent quality recording taken from the audience perspective from a gig with a crowd there and then asking themselves 'is this a good bass sound for that song for the paying public to hear'.

It's obviously a well used word in certain circles but I think it's used a bit gratuitously in that article. It almost felt like he was showing off... and then the definition was no better using another shed load of long words. I'm pretty much against dumbing down but sometimes you have to realise, if you're aiming your article at the non technical reader use some friendlier language. I should probably have used a smiley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I too really like Geddy's bass tone. Wish I could cut through like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
