Sound test for my new Status

[Oscar South]

I bought this bass off a member of this forum last week and today recorded this just to see what kind of quality I can get on a recording, I reckon it sounds pretty good personally. Anyway this is just 2 tracks of bass, one a bassline and one some topnotes in artificial harmonics, it was just a quick 'play through' job so there are some mistakes in each track and the drums are pretty thrown in as well, but it sounds cool I reckon. It'd also work as a backing track so solo over.

Very clear bass sound, Oscar - Very snappy sounding, too. Were you using a pick or something?

[Oscar South]

Yeah I was using a pick for the bass part, I tend to play with a pick when I use overdrive and use my fingers when I go clean. I guess the attack of the pick just brings out the drive better and clean you want a smoother articulation. For the harmonics I use the same technique as Steve Bailey (index and middle fingers to node, ring and pinky to pick, thumb free to play bass notes)

You seem to be consistently ever so slightly behind the beat, audio lag?

[Oscar South]

I think so yeah, I was using Ableton which I only just installed and noticed after that I'd not configured the audio settings so it was running with significantly more latency than I usually get. I also recorded to a click and added the drums retrospectively so it might be something to do with that too.
