Thanks. You are correct. And I'd even be happy with a piano for now, just to prove the concept.

Ecosystem... Well, I suppose it's PC at the moment, but I'm willing to consider others. I have used Audacity a bit for recording bass, but am a beginner level with it at best. I'm not opposed to hiring musicians to record but do the AI players read music? How would it get recorded to a file...

Thanks! Looks like a great option.

Thanks! I'll start there.

My church's choir is a bit light on members and the long time guitar/leader can no longer perform. That leaves myself, and 2 others, only one of whom can carry a tune, to sing, acapella at mass. I joined recently to play bass, but they desperately need voices more than that now. (I can carry a...

That's a whole lotta nothin' so far. LOL Should I get with the times and do remote lessons? Expand my radius? I can get to Plano or Paris in 50 minutes.

I recently moved to the area, and want to work on technique and theory for a bit and hopefully find a new playing situation at some point. Open to recommendations or suggestions. Thanks!

This was the way I ultimately went. It seemed to be the high road. Thanks!

Update: The recording happened this weekend. I decided to approach this as an opportunity to be positive, enjoy the company of these musicians I probably won’t see much of in the future and do whatever I can to help make the project successful. New bass player was there early helping with...

It's a ska band... Assumption correct!

Love the plan! Studio is paid by band earnings. So effectively split 8 ways. It's a remote session in our rehearsal space so not ridiculous money.

Yes - this is a good compromise. Thanks. No one outside of the band will notice or care who's playing what anyway from song to song.

Yes - my plan was to do the recording, maybe help out the new bass player if needed and then depart. Seems he needs no help, so after this Saturday, that's it. I guess I didn't think they'd be done with me in less than 3 weeks. Sort of thought there'd be more time.

That always was my plan but I had the idea he'd come on board after the recording session. Funny thing is - I don't even like recording much. It's kind of a headache and really a vanity project for BL. Not sure it's worthwhile in the bigger picture either for most bands. I just don't want to...
