    This is why I love my Bongo (video)

    Very consistent and FULL! I love it. (sorry, pasted a wrong post before)

    New ambient / trip-hop / experimental piece ( feedback appreciated )

    I love the clapping samples and the washing effect you gave them. Is that a phaser on the reverb signal? (they start at 1:33) You could get a deeper sounding kick. Since you have got the bass covering the frequencies around 100Hz you could have the kick on the subs (around 70Hz). I like the...

    Putting together a small studio. Need advice.

    Almost every good DAW has a MAC version so you should try the trial versions and see which one is more intuitive for you. Here are some DAWs: -Logic -Cubase -Reaper (seems you know ad like this one) -Pro Tools Virual Insrtuments? What intruments, specifically?

    My solo project [heavy content and a sprinkle of jazz]

    What you are refering to is the technique then, not the spectrum. The sound you describe as being a "korn bass tone" is the fret noise and string rattle heard when you attack the strings that hard. Not the "lacking mids". Also, in this kind of music there's a difference between a mix that...

    My solo project [heavy content and a sprinkle of jazz]

    My idea would be to eventually record some vocals, and that would take care of that problem. Nevertheless, I'm extending the tune in the middle part right now. I'm sorry to say this but you are completely clueless about what you are talking about. That bass has almost +12db of midrange added...

    My solo project [heavy content and a sprinkle of jazz]

    Thank you for the feedback. About the keys (it's a fender rhodes) I do agree, it is a taste thing, hehehe... I will be extending the tune in the following days, but I won't be able to break up the jazz throughout because it would be very hard to do a smooth transiton between the heavy and the...

    Thanks for the feedback! About monotony, I can find some examples that do agree with you statement, but I'd say it's not something you want to risk (risking being monotonous and hoping it's the good kind of monotony).

    Thanks for the tip! I'll take that into consideration when recording the next track.

    Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. I'm glad you like the little break since it's the most "out of place" part of the tune.

    My solo project [heavy content and a sprinkle of jazz]

    Here is the first demo track of my solo project that I was able to record and "finish" producing. The name of the project is "Rumo Entrópico", which is portuguese for "entropic path". The song is called "Turbulência" (portuguese for turbulence). [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Everything...

    Anyone with small hands play Dingwalls or 35" scale bass?

    I have small hands and play a Dingwall. I can all the stretches you can imagine just fine (well, the realistic ones...). It's more a matter of practice and technique than anything else.

    Straight Eigtths and Shuffle Eightths

    I call that eights in swing, but I guess it's the same thing.

    Ok, thanks for the explanation.

    Those pickups are the switchable between series/parelel in regards to internal wiring, aren't they? So, are they basically two FD3s that can be switched to Mach IIs? Because I think the "PJ" set has a Mach II in the bridge.

    So, do these pickups sound like a Fender Jazz??

    It does resemble a Jass Bass, but...WOW! Isn't that winding machine something?
