Hey thank you Jim. I appreciate it.

My name is not "Raw Amateur" for nothing, I posted this in the wrong forum on the DB side...so here goes the second try: I would like to try something a little different with my set up and run my signal through a straight power amplifier. I love my VT Bass pedal but have always been curious...

lol, my handle isn't "Raw Amateur" for nothing. I'll repost on the electric side.....thank you.

I would like to try something a little different with my set up and run my signal through a straight power amplifier. I love my VT Bass pedal but have always been curious about how my amp head (Genz Benz Streamliner) would actually affect the signal. Additionally, I wanted to explore some...

Raymeous, Thanks for the links, I will read through them over the next few days and see if I can gather more ideas for a solution. I open the file in audacity and it is a single track. I then adjust the speaker balance to the left or right in Audacity to get rid of the bass. So I am...

Hey, going to try and keep this concise and to the point. I have a pretty specific recording need I wanted to ask some advice on. I want to record my bass playing as a way to see how I am performing. My current set up is on an Acer laptop, where I send sound to M-audio speakers...

I bought the II V I chord progression series as well. I have to say it's a bargain basement deal. Essentially a 45 minute plus lesson that is well thought out and gradually builds in difficulty that comes with backing tracks in all keys for you to practice as well as notation and tab documents...

I have this book a well and use it off and on. Some of the excercises I have struggled with because they are a bit fast for me. So I took Audacity and slowed them down just a touch. I want to make sure I am playing them well and slowing it down a bit helps a lot. But I agree, they are fun...

Approaching my second year of playing this December. In my first year, I did one thing right and one thing wrong. After a few months of playing, I realized this was something I was gonna do for a long while, probably to the grave. So I tried out and bought a nice bass to replace my less than...

Thanks for the input everyone. Turned off the pedal today for my practice session...gonna try and work more in the raw state so to speak. As for recording, yeah I was looking for basic home options...names Raw Amateur afterall. Ha. I have audacity and m audio speakers but haven't really...

I didn't know the VT had compression... Makes sense now in terms of my sound. I have not tried songs with and without the peddle, but I will now. Knew somehow that advice would be to ditch the pedal, but it's so cool sounding..... In terms of recording, and I know this is very broad, but...

Just felt like sharing here. Not sure there is an answer to this. I play at GK MB112 combo amp at home with a VT Bass pedal with my Music Man. I get a nice tone and love the warmth. I am working on different songs and when I think I've got something to show my teacher I'll say, "Hey check...

Stumbo, thanks for the suggestion. I put it over on that other thread. Snarf, check your PM's. Thanks.

Don't know the best place to post this, but another member suggested here.... I have been doing my own transcription lately but there is a piece I'd like to have a professional look at and hopefully transcribe. It's Berry Oakley's bass solo from "Mountain Jam" on the Live at Ludlow Garage...

I really have no idea which forum section something like this should be in. Since there is a lot of discussion about transcription here, I picked this forum section. I have been doing my own transcription lately but there is a piece I'd like to have a professional look at and hopefully...
