    Making a CD. Volume issues?

    Speaking about just volume, if they have vocals you should try to balance them all with the vocal in mind. When I went to a mastering engineer that's what he said he did.

    Recording bass direct? simple question

    If you are looking for something to enhance or change the tone I think there is a lot of options to choose from. The apogee is a brilliant piece, but as far as the converters go they are some of the best as far as I know. So I doubt you can go too wrong with just using that. If you are...

    Rickenbacker 4001 copies

    Just found this thread and thought I may have some more luck here. I've found what I think is a Hondo copy but am wondering whether for £200 it's worth paying. I've just seen someone paid £25 ten years ago. Here is the thread I posted in luthier's corner...

    Would this work?

    Yes it would definitely work. The quality could be less than ideal as when (in my experience) the signal drops below a certain level the laptop sound starts to go to **** and starts to crackle a horrible digital noisy crackle. Saying that I recorded a bass part for a song and used it on an ep...

    Recording through XLR direct out

    if the headphone out works then the simple answer is that the mic lead is dodgy. if this isn't the case then it must be something internally with the amp. what that could be i don't know, a loose connection maybe? then it might be something on the recorder. sorry if this is sound condescending...

    Mic Fuzz Removal?

    Right you can try this, it may work, it may not. it worked for me when i wanted to remove a high hat from a recorded track. not totally but it was close enough. copy the track onto a new channel. filter all the sound out except the frequency range where the fuzz sound is. so there should be no...

    Is using one speaker more than the other bad?

    Yeah they're made to last so there's no problem. If you used it for a year and then got a new one there might be a difference but this won't cause any problems. also some people like to just mix with one speaker to get the balance right so maybe you'll find a new way of working that appeals to...

    hardware vs. plugin/VST effects

    I haven't used a pitch pedal but I do know about plugins. They do a good job except there will be a small delay of a few ms so you would need to drag the track back so that its exactly where it was in the first place. I have just left it in the past and its been fine but I don't know how much...

    Rickenbacker copy in bad shape, how much to fix it up?

    I've been lurking around for a while on here but now I could really do with some help. I've been searching for this bass for years, its a Hondo 4003 copy I think. I love the look of them and also love the sound on certain records i've heard using it. The reason i'm asking is because it looks...
