Yet Another Bass Challenge
 

Drummer here. I recorded my drums to the guitar track of one of my favorite songs by Incubus, Nice To Know You. If you're able to record your bass and you think you'd be able to play it, record your bass over the song and see how it turns out. I'd love to see some of the results you guys might be able to come up with! Thanks in advance

I'd be something fun to take a look at when i get back from work

hi i'll doing it right now but i need the tempo man plz just too use to record with a metronome

Its the normal backing track...Can we record vocals as well?

If you feel you're up to it, go for it

back to top post hehe just want the tempo hehe you answer that dude and not me ;)

there's an odd gap at the beginning...Can we just play in that bit there to shred a bit etc?

I REALLY need some recording equipment

:D < Me while listening through the entire thing.

Dead on, sounds great, good job.

is that a real drum ? man it sound amazing

Yeah they are, thanks.

sounds quite good, just find some good vocals and add em in, hopefully it wont ruin the song......

man i just re listen to it, and it is the first time i'm recording with my new american p-bass deluxe special with emg pickup and dear god i love what i'm hearing hahaha well you drum sound help me out alot but still it sound exactly the way i always dreamed off !! can't wait to play this bass live, people will wanna kill thereself haha

btw dwjk, do you have any other tracks like that ?

howd you get the drums out of the origninal song? and the vocals too?

That sounds friggin awesome! Props to you guys :o

To drummer:

You're amazing. Those drums sound really good. :thumb:

To tr3ize:

You're really good too. :thumb:

well the beggining kinda suck though, i had no click nothing so i didn't know the tempo. so it's kinda chopy should have take more than 2 takes hehe anyway good time we should do more

The guitar track is the ripped hard left+right from the original track. While mixing, guitars (espcially distorted) in contemporary (A band that doesnt do this is RHCP on Californication; almost everythings in mono) songs are almost always panned hard+left right to leave the center for bass, snare, kick drum, vocals, etc..

Yeah, I rushed a bit. This track really wasn't intended for playing with other people. I just recorded it really fast to have other people criteque the drum sound. Along with the intro, there's other slight timing issues during certain fills throughout the song.

[QUOTE=tr3ize]btw dwjk, do you have any other tracks like that ?[/QUOTE]

I'm going to go record Incubus - Pardon Me in the same manner. After this one, YOU tell me a song and I'll do it. But we gotta do Pardon Me. It happens to be one of my favorite songs as well. I'll post it when in finished

EDIT: I'm going to do Rage Against The Machine - Bulls On Parade, too. If anyone's up to this (including treize), please post something! I love this

nice i'll make the bass on any song you record with that drum sound

edit: holy **** RATM !!! IT'S MY BAND MAN i love that band make all the song i'll put bass on them all :D

same here, as soon as i find my mike adapter, i'll record every piece...

amazing drumming. simply amazing i hope a basist can do some nice work over that ;)

There it is. Since the song starts abruptly, I start a bar late so you can come on on time

(Bump) C'mon treize, lets hear it!

Well if no one else is I'll take a stab at it. This took way too many takes. That bass solo to guitar solo transition is tricky. I screwed up on it 6 times in a row before finally breaking down and editing in a good transition. I'm going to mess around with different settings tomorrow. I've never really recorded myself so this is a good opportunity to hear what I actually sound like.

This was fun. Keep them coming DWJK.
