Metal Bass Recording Tips | Metal Recording Basics in Cubase

In this Metal Recording Basics in Cubase video, Mendel Bij De Leij looks at how to record a metal bass. As with all recording with a DAW, getting the basics right is important when recording metal bass, so Mendel looks at what you need to do before recording, including getting a good bass player, using new bass strings for recording metal, muting technique and picking technique for heavy metal, taking care of what the bass player wants to hear while recording and much more.

[@DEADLINETV]

Thanks Mendel and Steinberg for this great series on metal production! I'm learning a lot!

[@mikearciszewski9348]

That riff was AWESOME and man...that guy is a CLEAN bass player. Anyone would be lucky to have that guy record metal bass on a track.

[@halflightmasontate8474]

Can vouch for Willem. He played bass on my EP and absolutely crushed it! Absolute legend to work with too!

[@MrTheog1989]

I'd love to see a "mastering metal" video eventually.

[@jyun7360]

Really skillful bass player.

[@kkcarnevale]

Ha! Thanks for all the talking! Been a serious/semi-serious producer for more than a decade (no formal training) and you dropped some absolute gems of knowledge in that inter, I've never heard before! Will definitively be using that in future productions. Thanks for that!! Much love. God bless ⚡️

[@HeadsetHistorian]

The Cubase youtube channel is on fire these days!

[@pjdahmen]

Great tutorial

[@joanesinu]

I also use the kemper to record the DI and the Master signals via S/PDIF, but how you deal with the phase issues? Because both signals are not perfectly aligned. Thanks!

[@RichardValencia]

Hey greetings! I would like to ask or to know diagram about you how connected the bass the DI and the kemper please!

[@podgemurray4377]

New set of strings every 4 songs? How much time is that? Like with the bass player potentially doing multiple takes

[@balazstoth2753]

Great video Mendel! What about the bass guitar's tone settings (i mean the pots on the bass itself)? You max out the everything or u use settings the bass guitarist likes?

[@Mendelian]

Personally i like it with everything open (max)!

[@project1265ffo]

great stuff Mendel, i am curious to see how do you treat in the mix next :) QUESTION: Do you record DI and Kemper at the same time or separately ? is there any delay in the both track? thanks in advance

[@Mendelian]

I record them at the same time, and the Kemper (or any external gear for that matter) will have some latency but i’ll dig into that in the next video ;)!

[@project1265ffo]

Change strings after 3 - 4 songs?? Seriously? :-)

[@mikearciszewski9348]

[@alanglasgowbassist]

[@yurigore6390]

[@pabloandresparisi]

[@danjensen75]

[@zlippery1]
