I am pretty happy with how the tone turned out on this one!

Critiques welcome.

You sound an awful lot like Bill Hicks.

HAHAHA!!! GOOD ONE!!!

EricssonB · #4 06-19-2011, 10:09 PM

No really though, good tone. I'm getting back into recording again and am looking for a good way to do it. What's your solution?

Crunchy! Good on ya, man. Bass on!

Well, I play the bass guitar and drums on all my tracks so as far as recording bass goes:

I use a Spector Forte-4, usually clean right into the amp, I use an Ashdown Evo III 900 and Mic it using a Steinberg sound interface.
The mic I use is a Sure SM57 and to record all that, Cubase 5.
On this particular track I dirtied the bass up a little with the MXR m-80 bass DI.

I run all the guitars in the same way as I do the bass, through the same gear like such:

Bass / Guitar > volume pedal > Tuner > Bass envelope filter > Carbon Copy Delay > Micro Flanger > Bass DI > Amp.

I don't use a pick but I am a hard hitter as I've had no amp for the most part and had to slap the hell out of the strings to hear what I am playing...

That reminds me of this ... --->>> YouTube - ‪Weird Al's Albuquerque: THE MOVIE - Part 1‬&rlm;

I do like the bass tone ...

That tone is pretty awesome (along with all the tracks you have up).

EricssonB · #9 06-19-2011, 10:22 PM

Oh okay. Not too far off from what I've been doing.

I've been going with whatever bass I play XLR-out the back of my bass amp to a cute little Behringer mixer, line-out to my PC's SB X-fi. Seems to work, but not with guitar -- sounds terrible. I need to mic that up. Next thing on my shopping list?

Microphone. I followed you on SoundCloud, too.

ACE! I triy to sometimes mix the DI straight into the interface...but I like the mic better...

I liked the first part up to mid point but the finish didn't really hit me like the crunchiness of the first part. Nice mixing.

Dcool53 · #13 06-20-2011, 07:23 AM

Yeah man, the tone sounds good=]. Hey, if anyone has the time, what do you guys think about the tone of my main vid on my youtube, considering the genre as well. YouTube - ‪Dcool53's Channel‬&rlm;

markanini · #14 06-20-2011, 08:14 AM

Bass sound great. Complements the the airy and somewhat hollow sound of the mix. I dug the track.

KsPiNeSh · #15 06-20-2011, 10:50 AM

That is a great freakin' sound... love that tone!

fuzzychaos · #16 06-20-2011, 10:53 AM

Sounds awesome! I want that in my bag of tones.

seventhframe · #17 06-20-2011, 11:51 AM

Thank you everyone! Definitely keeping those settings on my DI and amp for future tracking!

hachi kid · #18 06-20-2011, 03:36 PM

super scooped.....

Steez_Unit · #19 12-17-2011, 03:08 PM

siiickk tone..

..and the spector forte demo video is amazing!

Corey Y · #20 12-17-2011, 06:09 PM

The tone sounds excellent, good job. I would definitely keep those settings in the bank, works nicely. The musical style reminds me a bit of a band my old band did our first tour with.
