Ardour5, electric bass, drums, Yoshimi synth

Let this be my introduction to the forum. I’m using Ardour6 now, which was definitely an improvement over 5 for MIDI-based production.

Love the bass sound. Care to share the EQ settings you used?
Did you recorded it directly in the mixer/sound card or through a real amp?

Here you go! Several notes on that:

  • iirc the bass was a Squier Jazz Bass with the bridge pickup turned slightly louder

  • I always record direct to board, because I need the sub response.

  • There’s a lot of sub bass, that’s just how this genre works.

  • The lowest note in this piece is E, but my bass was actually tuned to D. When I want to use D (i.e. the empty string, leersaite, fret 0) and get as much sub response as on the other frets, I need to boost the base frequency (D1 36.7 Hz) by about 15 dB with a Q of 20-30. If you tune to E and want sub response, you will probably need to do the same with E1’s base frequency.

Hi,

First, great name for this composition! Liking the spartan arrangement with phatt bass and tooth rattling snare drum! As others have said great bass tone and a cool idea to mix electric bass in a dubstep kind of context!
