The bass is mixed a little low for my tastes, so it isn't as prominent as it should be. Gear was a Squier Jazz Deluxe V, Mids on full, bass and treble flat, Ernie Ball Slinkies, fingerstyle. Through a either an RME Fireface or Focusrite OctoPre (Not sure which) and IK Multimedia Ampeg SVX. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urb Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 For anyone who hasn't seen this in the Recordings forum - a new little ditty from me - just beginning work on some new originals - this is kind of work in progress, hope you dig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-3eAffBhOg Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK, other than the title, the only real similarity to the Depeche Mode song is the synth part in the intro. I was actually unaware of the Depeche Mode song until a few days ago so I had no idea we were destroying a timeless classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy who wrote it said he wasn't consciously influenced by the DM song, but at some point he noticed a vague similarity, hence the title. Nothing else to it really! Glad you could see some positives, despite not liking the style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your bass has no tone that will cut through so I'd look at your eq closely. You need more low-mid mids I reckon. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] My tone is actually quite mid heavy, just the producer didn't give me the exact tone i wanted, and seemed to have mixed the bass a little low. I wasn't there when we first listened through it either as i was working, so i couldn't bring it up. He has told me that he's remastering it when he gets chance though, so it might be better 2nd go round. Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I am quite suprised i've not heard of them before as I really love funky stuff, but this band seemed to have passed me somehow, by so i've been checking out some of their stuff. I can recommend the track "Glide" (great bass) and also "Future Now" (great bass and guitar solo) Both of those tracks plus "Universal" are all from the album Future Now found here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miXLsd1QXNU&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rojuE68QGj8&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
