Do you headbang while recording ?

[MAJOR METAL]

Do any of you guys headbang while you are recording your bass tracks ? I have in the past whille recording the band together.

 

[James Hart]

no... never. Dance & groove & bop... yes.

 

[ROON]

I don't record. But I headbang whilst practicing at home. You've gotta get with the feeeeeel, be one with the beat and the track.

 

[Munjibunga]

Headbob for me.

 

[Matt Till]

A little, it's never intentional, but during really heavy groovin' riffs on my album with King Bowman (which will never be released, I don't think I'm ever going to stop being mad about that), I would find myself headbanging, mostly to keep time.

 

[Chunk-O-Funk]

For me it's more of a foot tapping, bopping up and down thing.

when it all comes together....hard, heavy, and driving, it just can't be helped

Amen !

 

[Baryonyx]

No, there just isn't much headbanging going on in fusion/drill and bass!

 

[steve21]

I do it occasionally.

My hair once got caught under my fingers on the fretboard and I bended the note and my hair. Sucked.

 

[IanStephenson]

I don't but if it's your thing, then go for it.

Unless you've got a lot of time (aka money in recording studio speak), and/or experience then I'd record EXACTLY the same way as you normally play. Don't change anything cause you're "in the studio" - it'll just mess things up. Go in, and do whatever has worked for you every other time you've played the tracks...

[Yngwie 4String]

I headbang just doing regular day to day stuff.

 

[69nites]

nope but I never actually headbang while playing

I rock like a crazy person and walk around constantly making faces unintentionally. And later I am made fun of for it .

 

[Uncle Ernie]

I played in a Mariachi band many years ago... and I had a hard time not to headbang. It's really though with a big hat

 

[beyondhairy]

i usually tap my foot and hump my bass lol i dont headbang, i lose myself when i head bang, humping is good lol

It can if you don't play metal.

 

[jewbear]

Yeah, I headbang and walk around when recording

 

[Deacon_Blues]

Headbanging doesn't suit the music I'm playing, but I dig in as much as possible to prevent myself from thinking too much about playing correctly. If I don't do it, I always mess up and end up sounding less natural and with less groove than if I dig in.

 

[Jamiebass]

Always groove. The trick is never think that "this is the take". Don't fear "the red button". Groove. Just Groove.

 

[Lazylion]

No, it makes the headphones come off.
