57Gregy

Since 1967. All 3 of my older brothers played and each one taught the next one how to play. It started with my oldest brother Carl getting a Trutone electric for Christmas in, oh, '65 I think. Bought at Western Auto. I started when my next-older brother Mike started teaching me bass lines he could play along to. By then we had the Trutone and a Framus.

Didn't we do this last year?

Something we sang when I was kid (to the tune of The Star Spangled Banner, sorta): Oh say can you see Any red bugs on me? If you do, pick a few, And we'll all have red bug stew.

If the take you don't want is that bad, ctrl z and start over. You won't hear it then.

Better than unter.

Krilliant!

Dave's not here.

Tim, I don't know Mark F. Got a link? Leadfoot, I was born in '57, like the '57 Chevy. One of us is a classic, the other is just an antique. Thanks for listening!

Today marks 5 years since my brother Mike died, just 2 weeks shy of his 58th birthday. Being just 11 months difference in age, we grew up playing music together and he taught me a lot about playing guitar and music in general. I thought I would post his one and only original, recorded song again as a small tribute and memorial. Going Home Crazy

I love a good sentimental ballad. 😁 It's cool that you got AC/DC to record it for you, too. It rocks!

I've been at Atlantic Beach, NC all week. Preparing to return to the grind. Back to work tomorrow!

It's all about the bass.

Tax pros add (sum) things up by April 15, in the spring.

Thanks for all the info. I'll certainly try to apply some of these tips in my next muddied bass project. I will see what I can do to this current project, too. As for a reference track, this isn't the kind of music I normally do; I was having some problems completing songs, and when I was watching The Bourne Supremacy and the Russian mob henchman went into the Moscow disco to inform the hit man that he missed his target, there was an EDM thing playing loudly. I thought, "it can't be that hard to make something like that". It's all hard.

Very zen.. The 'perfection' is in the playing of it, not the recording of it.

Maybe Esther is happy because someone discovered the contents of 'that' folder.

Happy Anniversary! What's the proper gift for the 13th? Alembic?

Thanks, all. I should have mentioned that this is an EDM piece with no traditional bass, just synth sounds. In the Songs forum. Way out of my usual guitar/bass/keys/drums thing. A poster wrote that the bass needs unmuddying, so I'm going to attempt to clean it up, as well as bringing the drums up in the mix. Appreciate your time and advice.

Yesterday would have been his birthday. RIP Maurice. Show Jimi how to properly set up his whammy bar.

Is there some magic formula or EQ preset that will get me started? Due to some hearing loss, just about everything sounds bassy to me, so I'm not sure I could hear the difference if I applied some EQ or otherwise processed a track. I recorded the song in SHS 6 XL then imported the .wav into CbB for mp3 mixdown, but I don't know if I have the proper turd-polishing gear. Advice, links appreciated. I know the topic of equalization has been discussed ad infinitum on these forums, but because of the aforementioned bad hearing, I've pretty much skimmed the posts, thinking I can't do anything about it. Thanks!

I did that the other day only to discover that SoundClick now accepts waves. 😡

The squirrels are randy today.

One of the crew of Jeopardy has the last name Thapthipthong.

You got married on 4/20? What, were you drunk? Anyway, congratulations, and can you pick up some Swedish Fish for me while you're there?

Thanks. Not as bad as I thought it was. The ears won't get any better, unfortunately. At least not without some sort of electronic aid.
