hybrid productions!!

[Sirius]

has anyone here ever made a bassline that is pretty thin, mic up a 15" jbl connected to a bass amp & recorded it? are there many producers that make fully hybid music by using studio recording techniques & a daw? just something i was thinking about today.
i want some more ideas!!chea

[back2onett]

no but I usually run my basslines through one of my bass amps, usually whichever one is in best working condition at the time although I have had some interesting results with a busted pioneer amp from 'back in the day'

What run stuff throug hardware?

Loads of old school hardware loyal guys around here...

Habits a serious gearslut... and training Upstate to become one...

Aside from circuit bending and recording my own samples, not much access to real tubes, ect. so lots of use of greasetube / warmers n stuff.

Ohhhh n to include... Multiband compressors are gonna die to software sooner then anyone thought.

[back2onett]

yeah I wanna build up my hardware arsenal, so far I've got a load of old amps and a couple of shitty compressors

[deadly_habit]

nope never

[back2onett]

is that a micron I see?

ive been known to run things through guitar amps and mic them up. i got a little vintage fender combo thing that sounds fucking gorgeous which i like putting stuff through sometimes.

he knows
that mic on boom on my mic setup is a karma silver bullet. great for room, reverb or micing cabs/speakers or overheads. 30$ for a matched pair heh smallest mic i own too
rhe inline pad/polarity switch on end of cable is bigger than it in pic

yeah im doin a degree in audio production, 1st year! so i've got access 2 like 30 different mikes, 5 studio & a whole heap of other shit. still haven't really had a plan around to make my own tunes, have been getn stuck in the analog suite recording traditional instruments on 1/2" tape!! lots of plans in the mix, heapsa time though!

buy guerilla recording book
and learn soldering and basic electronics and ill get ya going

[Sirius]

yeah i've been reading up on alot of mastering handbooks, have got the yamaha sound reinforcement handbook & the handbook of acoustics. it mean having a class of like minded people. theres 2 other electronis producers & we are supposed to be forming a live dstep crew soon. its exciting stuff. sound bro, gota love it!!

don't worry too much about own tunes atm. get yourself a big HD and just record as much crazy shit as you can, then when you do get round to your own tunes you have this massive sample-bank you've created to start raiding.

yeah that was the plan, we were playing this lil synth thru a korg analogue filter & was guna mic up the bass amp & run it thru the desk... but we ended up just tweekn that shit all thru the studio time. like we coulda just run an output from the amp, but i like the sound of doin it thru a mic better.

yeah it definitely gives a different sound, just from one mic to another the sound can differ greatly. just hit record at start of the sesh and tweak like crazy

[back2onett]

good to see some people using guitar amps for their productions, do you guys usually mic up your amps or just use them as sends?

[Noizydan]

i've used cb radios for vocal parts. if you tune them in and out you can get some lovely ring mod effects
