You are welcome!

That's great! Hope you enjoy playing!

Glad you like it! The bass is waiting.

That's great! Happy to help.

great video

Thank you!

Thank you!

That's great! Yes, very important to be able to count and keep time.

Hey Butch! How have you been? Yeah, those little 3 chorders are fun to improvise with.

@@stevekonbass Doing OK, I retired last year and this year I've had both knees replaced. One knee in March and the other in June, both required 6 weeks of PT, 3 days a week. Hard to get through but I'm glad I did it! How are you? Are you playing lots of gigs these days? Are you still rocking the Rumble 500? Such a great amp!

Congrats on retiring and the new knees!! That's great! All good over here. Not gigging just giving lessons. Yes, still have the Rumble. Keep rockin' Butch.

Yep, sure was. He's a great sax player. We did a lot of gigs together.

Thanks John. How have you been? All good on the homestead?

Thanks. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks brother. Glad ya stopped by.

Thank you! Here's the music video for it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoOkdKKvhcd8bK8si=wl59f0vY076uX5nH

Thanks! It was something I made up for the intro.

Congrats! Okay... when we talk studio lingo, a mix down would be taking all 16 tracks and recording them down to a 2 track stereo mix. Then when you here somebody say, "We sent it out for mastering" what that means is the 2-Track was getting more tweaking to make it sound radio ready. Now back to the Zoom R16. The Zoom has "mastering effects" that you can put across all 16 tracks and then you mix down to the 2 track. Is it like sending it out to a pro mastering studio? No. But it will make it sound better. Watch these videos, it'll help ya. This one from around the nineteen minute mark will show ya how to mix down: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHTXqmWZZaqLl6c and this one will go more into mastering and getting it to sound good: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKbEiXesaqytrbssi=ea7OuTF5sHP3qJPS The 2 track mix down will be on the SD card. If you pop the SD card into your computer the file will say something like MAST1. The individual tracks like bass, guitar, etc. will say MONO1, MONO2, etc. If you want to hear the final mixdown on the Zoom, hit the master button on the Zoom above the main fader until it turns GREEN and hit play after rewinding to the beginning.

Great question. We're working with the major scale. Play it C- middle D- pinky E- index F- middle G- pinky A- index B- ring C- pinky Whenever you play a major scale, use this fingering. I stress this to everyone I give lessons to. It'll be easier to memorize (than if you keep mixing up your fingers) and when you run through the triads they'll be easier to grab. Here's the playlist to my bass lessons videos kzbin.info/aero/PLsFosTB39eVBVllLkZP_RAIjNmviv8nYe You'll see me often referring to major scales and you'll always see me using the same fingering.

To add on to my first reply, watch this video from about the 2 minute mark when I play Let It Be. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJico4KGeZZ1r6Msi=Bdt9P1ezbZxmECh8 You'll see me play the C major scale using the fingering I told you from my first reply, and then you'll see me using the triads while staying in position. Note how my hand doesn't move, just my fingers. The whole lesson might be a little over your head if you're a beginner, but that one section should help you make sense of fingering.

Yeah, I've tuned it a half step down and it was fine.

Thank you!

Well if you recorded with the effects on, like let's say the 5150 guitar amp, it'll be printed to the recording. But if you recorded dry, without effects, then you can assign whatever effect you want to it. Keep in mind if you want to do this multiple times for different instruments/tracks, you'll have to assign the effect and then bounce the track with the effect on to a free track.

@@stevekonbass Ah, so I can record dry. Do I have to assign the track as dry? If I do it this way can I sift through the effects afterwards to hear how they sound. For example of I want to record bass dry and then test out all the bass amps

You can do that. Here's a link to the manual www.zoom.co.jp/sites/default/files/products/downloads/pdfs/E_R16_0.pdf

@@stevekonbass Ah. My mistake. You actually showed how to do this in the video. I missed it somehow. Awesome lessons man. Actually a Bassist too, so I am gonna check out your bass lessons. Thanks for your work!

No problem, there's a lot of info so things can be missed. It's a great recorder once you get used to it. Here's a recording I did with it. All the instruments and vocals were plugged direct into the R16, so all the amp sounds, reverbs, effects, etc. you hear came from it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXK0ip6bepeMrM0si=9Bb7lDKsEFjIxs_z And, if you're a bassist, here's a playlist of my bass lessons. There are around 50 videos up there covering theory, technique, etc. kzbin.info/aero/PLsFosTB39eVBVllLkZP_RAIjNmviv8nYe

I'll do my best. If you can, please share my videos and channel to help keep it going.

@@stevekonbass Will DEFINETLY do brother 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you!

Whatever you can transfer files onto will work. All the audio files on the Zoom are saved as a WAV

Great to hear!

Congrats! Enjoy the ride.

Fantastic! Enjoy your musical journey.

It was a song I wrote a long time ago that was never completed. Never found a singer for it. Here it is if you or anyone else wants to take a crack at it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6unnWtrl7h5g7ssi=sxNTgjR-Z5ajKiNG

@@stevekonbass One day when me and my drummer & guitarist friends get good enough we will make a cover of this song, with vocals too. In the meantime, the song is a very inspiring one, so it will motivate me with my bass practice. Thank you Steve and for the video too.

Those are good times when 3 players lock themselves in a room and make music. Have fun!!!

Hope you like it.

You're welcome!

That's brother! Happy playing!!

Glad you liked it!

Being I can't see what you did, I can only suggest clicking the project button on the zoom, go to files, and then assign the audio files to tracks. Unless you actually deleted the files they should be there.

Thanks!

Standard tuning. E A D G

@@stevekonbassThanks man! Asking for a buddy of mine that bought one for his boy

No problem. In case your buddy isn't a musician, this might help kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3uUdqqAaq-jh6c

@@stevekonbass thanks again 👍 best wishes

Thanks Paul!

"Hello Bangladesh!!"

You're welcome.

Great to hear that. Here's the lessons playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLsFosTB39eVBVllLkZP_RAIjNmviv8nYe

First, figure out why it fell out of the track. Look to see if the track was so warped that it didn't stay in. In any event, you'll have to get the bracket back in there. You might have to take the track down. Couldn't tell you without seeing it.

@@stevekonbass It's working. I hope I fixed it right. Thank you.

Thanks Peter.
