Judah is the best. Shout out to that P-bass also. What's your bass setup?

[@FairmontStudios]

“I hate pro tools but I’m gonna keep using it” same here buddy 😂

[@8Junio76]

That hat must smell very bad

[@FranssenMark]

Being a bassist...; This is great man! Super nice tone from both the DI and mic. Seems like the mic is pretty darn good in blocking bleed from your room and speakers while tracking? I mean, tracking with the speakers on, no headphones and the mic track sounds pretty isolated.

[@jdkramer5835]

I feel like those 2 sounds were slightly out of time just because of the mic distance, it sounded like it was doubled and not as one thing. Maybe have a look and the audio and see if they're exact cause they will be out of phase then.Then bring the amp audio to the left to line it up with the DI

[@RussArteaga]

Loved when you pretended to see the cam and started engineer’n haha!

[@mathewworkman1625]

Your studio tour videos are excellent... but so are the videos when you simply use your studio... need more like these!

I like recording amp and DI. The amp for some bite from speaker like the early Motown James Jamerson sound that had a little speaker breakup in the sound. Then having the DI for note definition. Then blend together. The same for guitar would do a DI with the amp because some guitarist would go gain crazy and note definition would start to disappear, so having the DI to sneak in a bit. Want a funny sound record guitar cranked with amp blasting and have a DI too. Then solo DI guitar and all these clean guitar notes sustaining, but you not hearing that amp screaming. Fun stuff messing around in the studio.

This song reminds me of “Alone Together” by Dan + Shay. Great song

[@laneysommer]

Cool video! I enjoyed groovin' along with you guys.

[@alemoffardin]

great video, i've been a die-hard DI bass guy for almost all my professional life, (unless there's some really great sounding amp/vintage at the time in the studio).. until the pandemic where i got to work a lot from home and several clients started asking for some reamps and.. well, now i kinda dig to have the amp setup as well. I mostly rely on the API Tranzformer LX, and an old GK mb150 amp with a 1x10 custom cab.. And my favourite mic for that cab has been an Electrovox Kick Drum dynamic one, I really feel that can complement the DI audio I get from the API. But I'm always open to try something new!

I study Music and Technology in Brazil. I live in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul and we have a Federal College here. I'm now on the 6th period (i think you guys call it that way in the US) and we've been studying fx processors this semester. One thing we found very useful is to treat the DI with a dynamic equalizer like Waves F6 ou TDR NOVA, or with a Multiband compressor. Using that in multiple instances, subtracting whatever frequencies that are too loud but only 2 or 2.5dB in each instance. We rarely been using the amp signal because of the phase and the mess it makes on the highs. With the dynamic processors and some distortion (masked using some filters to not sound distorted at all) I think we're getting some pretty good results. Great video btw

Cool video. I bought an Ashdown bass amp a few years ago and have a FatBoy tube DI. The FatBoy seemed to be a Nashville Staple for live and studio players (a Nashville engineer said he would see a FatBoy in almost every bass players gig bag). After recoding they amp and tube DI and blending, I used Waves INPhase to align the 2 tracks, and decided to use my Kemper to record the amp (RE20) through a BAE with the DI into the other side of the BAE and blend in Pro Tools out to a mono input to my Kemper. Once I couldn’t tell which was the profile or the Pro Tools live output, I saved the profile and don’t need to use my DI or Amp. Almost makes me sad that I spend so much on the DI and amp and they collect dust. Anyway, amp and DI are hard to beat. One or the other just doesn’t give me what I want. Good video subject, and consistent bass playing from Judah. The Ashdown gives you growl and guts, and the DI, the full roundness of the bass. I low cut the bass amp and let the DI do the low roundness. Mic choice on my amp helps bring out mids. The RE20 beat out my large condensers, kick mics, etc., as I wanted the mids to slap me. Have fun mixing both.

Hi Andrew - Any plans of doing a review on the SOYUZ 1973?

[@lencarmichael]

Did you double check the sample offset? DI faster than amp/mic

[@dylankerr3949]

I've used ableton and protools and much prefer protools is there a reason so many people dislike it? Just curious why someone may not like it.

[@velev555]

Interesting one, i immediately loved amp+di sound way more than di. Sounded more "meaty" probably im a jazz bass player ^^

[@Martinrodiaz]

Hi! As far as I know, the Yamaha speakers has to position with the black stripes on the bottom, so if you want to have them positioned vertically you have to disassemble the cones and mount them in the right way.

Thanks for this video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
