Just finished recording this, though I'd share.

YouTube - ‪Arise - Holding Strong‬&rlm;

For those who care:
Pino P-bass -> Universal Audio 6176 pre/compressor

I did everything except sing & play drums. Also mixed & mastered it.

hey thanks for the props, much appreciated! Yes, I did the video editing as well. It's the first time I've tried to edit any video, so it took a bit of messing around trying to figure out how to do it!

Nice job, the bass is Phhaaat!
What were you using on that?

Thanks for sharing.

where in the world did you get the vid material to cut? I've done some in my time, and you really did a nice job, its not easy to have scenes following each other tell a story or make a point - I think its a timing issue, and for a first attempt, this is really, really well done.

Thanks! So, it's the Pino P-bass with the tone rolled all the way off, direct DI into the UA 6176 - which is basically a Universal Audio 610 tube Preamp into a 1176 compressor. About 6dB of compression. I then added just a tiny little bit of tone control using amplitube2.

So the bass is actually pretty dry.. I was going for the "almost sounds like moog synth bass" sort of thing. Interestingly, I originally recorded Minimoog synth bass for this song, then decided to replace it with live bass. You wouldn't believe how close they ended up sounding.

Shucks

I wish I had original material, but it's just culled from various vids I found on the net. (far from legit!) I did want to tell a bit of a story, and there is a bunch of cuts & changes I would do differently, but since it took over an hour to render & upload to youtube, I'm not sure if I'm going to bother.

Thanks !
