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

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.

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

nope never

is that a micron I see?

Get an akai and join the crew man.

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

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

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?

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