    Diving headfirst into my first mixing/mastering project (FOLK PUNK CONTENT)

    [Effects] MXR M288 Bass Octave Deluxe Problem

    Hi! I had read lots of threads with tracking problem with the M288 or other octave pedals. Mine was working flawlessly but one month ago, live, it stopped tracking notes. At all. The pedal is on, led is on, the knobs works but modifies the medium, treble and bass frequencies (in that order) but...

    How's the tracking on the Digitech Drop when used as octaver?

    I'm considering getting a Digitech Drop as I've joined a band with a variety of different tunings and if I can get away with it i'd rather pack a pedal than lug around an extra bass for all the rehearsals. I've read many of the reviews on how the Drop works in this scenario on bass already...

    Fuzz Note Tracking

    Hi Guys, I am addicted to fuzz like everyone else. Right now I run a passive P bass into a boss ls2 like setup with a green russian reissue with an eq after it. (I play pick, but roll tone down to get that deep bass fuzz) I want to be able to pluck my open E, let it ring and play my other...

    Recording with Effects Questions

    Hi everyone! I am planning on recording some bass tracks that have different effects on them (fuzz, OD, chorus, bit crushing, synth, octave, etc.). I’ve recorded plenty of bass tracks over the years, but none with effects pedals. So my question is: how do you, personally, track the bass? Do you...

    Post your Quarantunes here!

    Like many of you, I'm stuck in mandatory self-isolation. So to pass the time, I'm recording as much as possible, to prepare for the (hopefully) eventual return to normalcy. Post whatever you've been working on in this thread!

    HELP! Roland GR-55 vs V-Bass

    Hi all! I was using a Roland V-Bass with the GK-3B pickup on my Sadowsky 5-string; it was working really (surprisingly!) well for about 2 years when the electronics crapped the bed. So I thought I would take the plunge on the newest GR-55 and for reasons I do not understand the tracking is...

    Signature tone or change it up?

    I've been playing, gigging and recording in a groove metal/modern metal band for over a year now. Some of my musician friends, strangers at gigs and even the mixing engineer we work with (sound production student at NOROFF in Oslo) have been complimenting my tone. I don't think I do anything...

    Three recorded bass signals and parallel compression..would this work?

    Hello All, going to start tracking bass shortly and i am doing it from my home studio. I am running Logic Pro X as my DAW using my MOTU 896HD and considering theoretically doing the following: Signal #1 Bass > Radial JDI > MOTU clean bass unaffected with some EQ tweaks to fit the songs...

    Methods to improve analog octave/synth pedal tracking

    I recently got an Iron Ether Subterranea. I love the pedal but it's having trouble tracking on the G string, particularly the first three frets. What can I do to help the pedal track better? I understand that there are a few things methods - rolling back the tone, setting up higher action...

    Surprised by how well the Sub'n'Up tracks and how low the latency is.

    So finally got time to check my setup with my relatively clean bass signal in one channel (only put to slight breakup on my tube preamp when I dig in hard) and then an octave up signal handled by the TC Electronic Sub'n'Up Mini followed by a Joyo Orange Juice set to mild overdrive and finishing...

    What is the best clip-on tuner for tracking a low B?

    Not sure where this thread should go so mods feel free to move as necessary. I have clip-ons that work....IME Snarks work best with the B but are fragile and break. My TC is a more durable mechanical design but tracks less reliably....what's your favorite, specifically with respect to the B...

    T-16 vs Octabvre Mini - Tracking

    So I am on the fence, ready to purchase an analogue octaver specifically for sub sounds (I already have a taurus dexter for polyphonic stuff and higher octaves) and I've narrowed it down to two possible suspects: Cog Effects T-16, and the 3Leaf Audio Octabvre Mini. I'm hoping to get some...

    Pitch-tracking Envelope Filter

    ...Im talking about a filter that opens up more and more, the higher up in pitch you play, kinda like a synth. I know the Wahoo has this capability but is Sonuus the only company who makes such a device?

    Does bassstringsonline Update Orders with Tracking #s?

    First time to see how well the experience goes and evaluate how bassstrings does business. So far my order status has only changed from "to order" to "on order" with no tracking number. These guys are not my usual vendor which is Pitbull Audio down the I-15 interstate in El Cajon.

I am using a fishman rare earth humbucker -> Boss CS-3 compressor -> MXR 10 Band EQ (to cut high notes from...

    Esperanza to live-stream entire composition and tracking session from studio

    Interesting. The NYT reports that Esperanza Spalding has talked her record company into a marathon live-streamed session during which she'll compose and track her next album live in studio. But recently Ms. Spalding, 32, has grown a little wary of her own ambitions, and for her next album...

    EHX Synth9 blended with Clean Bass. I'm having to compromise!

    About a month ago, I bought a EHX Synth9 pedal, mainly for synth bass sounds like from the 80's, instead of having a keyboard doing it for me. It sounds exactly how I want it, and it tracks down to the Low E, even though EHX said it would only track down to a Low A, so luckily, I can play...

    Meatbox Tracking Q, Active v. Passive

    So I'm trying out my no-longer-new-but-still-not-that-often-used DOD Meatbox reissue and noticed something. I had originally tested it with a bass that has an 18V EMG pickup and preamp system and it worked fine and still works fine (normal and usually-endearing glitchiness of the pedal...

    Octave Up Pedal Tracking Issues

    Just got my hands on a Foxrox Octron 2 and I'm having real trouble getting the Up shift to work anywhere other than the really high register. If I play anything lower than the 15th fret the pedal doesn't seem to shift the octave up at all and just seems to add distortion. The lower octave seems...

    Mailed a pedal without a tracking number. What are the odds it gets there?

    I needed to return a pedal to an internet retailer and didn't have time to do it myself yesterday so I sent someone else. They chose USPS Ground Service which is supposed to come with a tracking number but they didn't receive one. Long story short, there's a she said/she said thing going on and...

    3leaf audio mini octabvre tracking problem

    I know tracking on octave pedal depends on many factors, but I thought it's weird because it tracks all the way trough sustain on 15th fret on A string(Note C) but the tracking would be glitchy and on and off on 10th fret on D string (which is same C). I can definitely hear pitch shifting...

    Octave Pedal Tracking

    I'm going to buy an octave pedal, and I want something that can track my chords more than anything, and I couldn't really find anything on that. I've been leaning towards the Aguilar Octamizer so far, but if you guys have a better suggestion on a pedal that will track 2 or 3 note chords...

    hide a gps tracking device in your bass?

    OC-2 tracking weirdness (w/ clips)
