Hey, I Recorded!

[Spaceman Spiff]

Yup.

The song is called Lame Fingerstyle Improv because I just recorded myself dicking around playing some fingerstyle. It has no aim or direction.

I guess, just comment on it however the hell you want.

Tell me if I had any good ideas in there.

Tell me how my technique sounds.

Tell me how my tone sounds. I'm playing an SR506 plugged directly into my computer.

Tell me whatever else you want!

I posted that recording of PoT here once, long ago, I haven't listened to it but it probably isn't very good. :p

Okay.

Tell me if I had any good ideas in there.

I enjoyed the harmonics bits and it was kinda funky feeling, but it's pretty boring, since it's just 1 track of bass.

Tell me how my technique sounds.

Clean, although it sounds like you've got a few gaps when you're playing notes. Just those awkward 1/4 second pauses.

Tell me how my tone sounds. I'm playing an SR506 plugged directly into my computer.

A lot like my tone, minus the bajillion effects, and maybe a little more ballsy but not as smooth (not necessarily a bad thing).

Tell me whatever else you want!

I want to have your babies. But only if you promise not to spend forever on the breeding aspect. ;)

Good work. Let's see some more, now.

Well, I do like balls. :p

And I probably will record more, though there won't be anything special for a while. I'm just going to do crap like this until I get the hang of recording.

Oh, and I agree, 1 track of solo bass is usually pretty lame.

Well, there's solo bass, and then there's lame fingerstyle improvisation. ;)

You're using Audition, right? If you've got any questions related to the program, just let me know.

[Misanthropic]

what a coincidence, that sounds exactly like my sr506. :p

And the recording? well, sounded like someone just doodling some random **** on a bass... I think you could do things a lot more interesting, since your playing itself sounds nice and clean...

[Spaceman Spiff]

C00lerz.

I'll try to get something real up in the near future, but I'm just going to have some fun showcasing my techniques first. :p

[EADG]

Noticing a lot of fretbuzz.. I dont know if you care but I am a nazi for that.


Other than that nothing else I can really critique. I liked it.

[Jimbobntnr]

recording tone and quality was cool. It had a good sound to it.

I have heard you on yim, and know that you could have come up with something a lot better if you tried. Lazy bastard.

[Spaceman Spiff]

EADG: Yeah, there is some fret buzz. I guess I'll work on correcting that, though it usually isn't a problem, or a big one, anyway. Sometimes I'll be buzzier than others.

Oh, and thanks for saying you liked it. That's more than I ever could have hoped for with this recording. :p

Jamey: I guess that's a compliment. :D
But it's not just that I'm lazy, I suck at writing. I'll give it a shot soon enough, but for now it's just improvised dicking.

[EADG]

I like that you said you were just messing around and that's what the song actually was - just messing around.


I dont like when people say they are just messing around and it's a clip of wanky slap that they recorded to try to impress everyone.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Don't worry, when I record that one, it'll be called "Wanky Slap That's Sure Not To Impress" or something like that.

[Jimbobntnr]

wankering for sade.
