7 Bass Lines to take YOU from ZERO to HERO (Beginner friendly)
I am making a very nice recording, this time in the K Desktop Environment, on one of my master tapes.
I'm recording Herbie Hancock I'll make another post separately about that. The manner in which the Bass player is handling the double bass is amazing!
This is a very well explained video about a complex yet interesting device to use on your guitar or base amplifier which enables you to drop the need to connect a speaker cabinet.
Added an alternate performance of "Food Noise" to my "Lunchbox" playlist. I had recorded it the same day but just got around to normalize and upload it.

I'm putting some remix, edits and alternate takes on my "Lunchbox" playlist.
Just put up "LFO Infusion Tisane (with Caffeine Beats)" adding drums to my original LFO Infusion Tisane track.
Drums are Univox SR-95 aka Korg Mini Pops 7 aka Jean-Michel Jarre signature drum machine (I think Michael Garrison used the Univox version)

I want to throw out a big #HotDamn to 20 years of #softwaredevelopment . I recently bought a used #Behringer #BCF2000 which had a #SysEx editor last developed in 2004 in #Java available for download from the official website. I downloaded the software to my #Fedora system and it recognized the device over the modern #Linux #USB interface and worked like a champ.
Well done, 20 years of #software develoment and backwards compatibility!
Some do ask really good questions too. #soundcloud #music #synth

"Crawfish Bucket Brigade Part I" was all done on the #Behringer #Neutron. It is monophonic, (well, technically paraphonic 2 voice), but the filter can be mixed separately and then there is the noise source and the bucket brigade delay itself brings another layer, and depending on the mix level, a variety.
"Crawfish Bucket Brigade".
Another track added to my Lunchbox playlist. And another food related title, with a link to #synthesis and #effects
This one is the first part of two tracks I recorded on the #behringer #neutron, using the same basic sequence from a #korg #sq1, but with a different feel between the two parts.
No drums, as I relied completely on the Neutron 2 oscillators for all sound generation. #music #soundcloud #livetronica #electronica #electronicmusic

Bass Guitar Amplifier Adjustment
Adjusting a bass guitar amplifier involves setting the EQ (equalization) and other controls to get the best tone for your style, venue, and preferences. Here’s a step-by-step guide to dialing in your bass amp settings:
1. Set Initial Controls
Gain: Start with the gain at a low level. Increase it gradually until you hear distortion, then back off until the sound is clean. If you prefer a grittier tone, leave the gain slightly higher.
Volume: Set the volume to a comfortable level. Adjust it based on your playing environment, such as practicing alone or playing with a band.
2. Adjust EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble)
Bass: Controls the low-end frequencies. Increasing the bass can add warmth and depth. For a more defined sound, avoid cranking the bass too high, as it can make the sound muddy.
Mids: Mids are essential for a clear and punchy tone, especially in a mix. Higher mids add clarity and presence; reducing them can create a scooped sound often used in slap bass.
Treble: Controls the high-end frequencies. Increase it for more clarity and definition, or roll it back for a warmer sound.
3. Use Shape/Contour Controls (if available)
Many bass amps have a "shape" or "contour" control that adjusts the mids for different tones. Experiment to see how these affect your sound, especially if you want a quick, scooped tone.
4. Experiment with Extra Features
Compression: Some amps have a built-in compressor, which smooths out your dynamics and adds sustain. Start low, increasing only until it’s just noticeable.
Drive or Overdrive: If you like a more aggressive, gritty tone, use the drive/overdrive knob to add subtle distortion.
5. Room Acoustics
Adjusting your EQ based on the room’s acoustics is important, especially for live gigs. Rooms with a lot of bass resonance may require turning down the low-end or cutting certain frequencies.
6. Test and Fine-Tune
Play different styles and techniques, like slap, fingerstyle, and pick, to see how your tone holds up.
I am going to link a long article here which I need to post on another Fediverse account
This post does not come from my brains; I've copied it over after I've seen that everything checks out as factual.

"Hot Sauce Feedback"
Another experiment in #minimalist #ambient #music with the portable #Behringer #Neutron. The built in delay & distortion built into it helps a lot, I don't have to carry much to make complete tracks. Sequenced from the #Korg SQ1. Recorded in the great outdoors directly to a Tascam digital recorder. Great North Carolina weather recently, so these sessions are doubly enjoyable.

Well, as a follow-up to my 909 / 808 poll, here’s the result of much humming and hawing.
Love it so far, particularly its size and the nice interplay between closed and open hats. You can really make delicious grooves.
Niggles: I wish it had the 909’s tight snare and rim shot. Wish the tom tuning was a bit wider, and that toms had decay control. Also wish drum settings were saved with song or pattern saves, but that’s asking for something not in the original.

A little lapdesk, just big enough to hold my battery pack powering my tiny portable studio: a #behringer #neutron, a #zoom #ms70cdr, a #korg #sq1 and a #tascam digital recorder.

"LFO Infusion Tisane" - a new track on #soundcloud. An #ambient #soundscape done 100% on the #behringer neutron. Recorded outdoors, running the Neutron on a battery pack, into a Zoom MS-60B, into a Tascam digital recorder, into my AKG K712 headphones. #Battery pack is charged from a #solar panel, so this is a totally self contained #studio... (even more if I use also the lunchbox #eurorack #modular

It turns out that I can use the Behringer Bass overdrive pedal well when I want a slight amount of effect applied to the Bass signal. Make no mistake it is also achieved with any of the Joyo Overdrive pedals. The difference is that with the Behringer it takes longer before the effect is prominent.
The same approach to add multiples to my #eurorack #modulars can be also used to add multiples to semimodulars such as the #behringer #neutron (and similar eurorack compatible skiffs). I added small L brackets to the side screws, then mounted short standoffs, then finally mount the 3U module to the standoffs. #diy #studio #music #synth
I've run an early Bass session today. The setup of my effects are in the photographs
I can dwell on them, if you would want some extra information; the hashtags tell you which brands of pedals I use even though they are clearly visible in the photographs
Non mais #Behringer, vos petites tables de mixage Xenynx sont pas mal du tout vu le prix. Mais ça nécessite quand même pas mal d'entretien courant.
Grésillement sur la sortie générale... Cf les condos.
Mais le clou, les 2 compresseurs d'entrée sur les lines mono sont HS. Remplacement prévu des 3 étages des portes logique, mais pourquoi vous collez vos petits CMS comme ça, l'étain ne suffit pas?
