Our drummer checks first, as should yours. Then he holds quarter notes on the high hat with a kick on half notes while I do Diatonic thirds in e major up and down the whole neck twice. Then I lay e, b, e, b on his quarters while the two guitars get brought in and then the singer and I banter...

Your original idea is the best so far. Mute the bass in the midi track and plug your own bass in. The suggestion of using a clap for a reference is good as well.

Step one ... Quit school Step two ... Sell crack Step three ... Buy steinberg factory. Oh wait ... Are we supposed to give GOOD advice?

For the first session I would leave at least one "old"speaker on the cabinet and then mic it and a new one. As long as you take a few minutes and make sure they are not causing phase issues, it will be good to have more tracks with different flavors for the final mix. I know that I spend a lot...

Doubtful .... I mean, look what they are trying to emulate. Lol.

Gate. That is the answer. The closer your rig is to the mic, the higher you have to run the gate. In your situation it might even have to be ran so high as to need a little reverb added. If you do, maybe some post reverb compression would work too.

Still no tips? Maybe we should have put the case where the audience can reach it.

And one more ... A few years older.

Be gentle ......

I play tradition electrics and today has put some serious thought into the tone and playability of my mtb230. It has his own custom active pickups and the neck is as smooth as any I have held. I don't know prices (endorsements rule!) But I would think you could get one for what you have to spend.

They make them with frets?

Was that an amp or a briefcase he was trying to plug into? It was probably dime'd out and the crowds laughter just over powered it.

A couple of years ago I was with a "red dirt country" band. We had a guy screaming david bowie the entire set. After the show he jumped on stage and picked up my bass. He couldn't figure out the wireless set up and it was my beater back up so I let it go. Then he grabbed our singers les paul...

I am a competitive mustache grower but my job does not allow facial hair. There is a mustache competition in 3 weeks and I want to take the time off work to grow a killer stache. My girlfriend thinks I should not enter the competition and keep a steady paycheck for that time but the grand prize...
