Old guy here, just started recording my music after 35 years. Love your work. Thank you

*Recording

[@ChrisScian]

A great tutorial...only thing I might add as a helpful tip is to watch switching between notes that you fingers don't slide on the strings as that's tough to eliminate that unwanted sound afterwards...that being said, I recorded a recent bass part with a very trebly tone and without a pick which might have contributed to this.

[@diosgenes]

God Bless! what a great video! so many thanks for sharing!

[@DavidWinloMusic]

I had not discovered the flexitime option before, that's super useful! I have some old stuff I've been thinking about trying to polish up and release, this could help me avoid having to re-record a bunch of parts that are just not quiiite in time and work out what settings I used a year or two ago when I knew much less about recording and would've had some weird settings going on.

[@pageluvva]

I always just went to the presets. I guess I was scared to try anything else. Your lessons give me the courage to try. Thanks my friend.

[@TheBandGuide]

🙌🏼 exactly my goal, Larry!

[@rickrocks53]

Thank you very much! I have always struggled with finding the best settings for recording bass. Your break down was clear to understand and efficient. I will learn much from your tutorial. Once again thanks for your much appreciated help.

[@TheBandGuide]

Glad it was helpful, Rick!

[@RafaelSosa1]

I was waiting for this video, refreshing for hours!

[@TheBandGuide]

Whoa that means a lot! Making sure these recording videos are particularly solid, so they’ve been releasing later in the day. Hope they’re helpful!

[@p3te13]

Thank you for explaining the circle. I was getting two tracks of guitar and didn't understand why.

[@richrich1k]

Yo this is sick! This dude tutorials are the best. Gotta put some respect on em

[@terryrollins1973]

This is exactly what I needed! I just got a new Jackson bass I haven't even plugged in yet 🙃 🙌

[@TheBandGuide]

Heyyy alright, Terry!

[@MikeGuerr]

This was very helpful information on using the Peak/VU meter and amp sims. My bass rig is a Mesa WD-800 and 212 cab, and I use my Behringer XR18 as my recording interface. I typically record on 2 tracks simultaneously; one track is a Shure Beta 52a micing the cab, and the second is a DI from my amp head. This allows me to record the tone of my amp as it is in a live setting, and also allows me to use my pedalboard. Once recorded, I can then balance the mix of the DI and Mic tracks. After watching this video I’m going to download that Peak/VU meter and will use that on all my recordings going forward. I will also record a third track by sending a clean signal (pre pedalboard) to another channel in my interface. Then I can experiment with the bass amp simulator and effect on the clean signal. I’m very interested to hear how they sound. Thanks again for this video!

[@lefantomeband]

thanks man. coming from ipad here. hella confused about everything on the actual computer version. I was trying to record bass today and the sound of my bass starts strong and then slowly gets quieter and quieter. gonna follow this step for step. thanks dude!

[@giljusino]

Lots of good tips. I’ve never been happy with the tone of my bass recordings. I’ll try all your pointers on my electric bass. I actually use a mic to record my upright bass, so I’ll work in some of your techniques here as well. Many Thanks

[@augustofarias498]

Great content! It’s the small details that make all the difference.

[@guitarexmusic]

Great work and content. This is helpful!

[@LanceLoz-br3bc]

Great job! Well documented and very useful! 👍

[@johnvender]

I find the emulation of the classic Ampeg SVT is great. I personally like using it with the 8 x 10" cabinet.

[@TheBandGuide]

Agreed! I often use that one. Not sure why it didn’t speak to me today 🤷🏼‍♂️ maybe it’s the bass

[@chrislanesr]

Learned a very cool tip on punch-ins that I wasn't using. Thanks for that!

[@jasassin]

Great video. As my Bass is active, I always find it hard to stop it clipping. The VU meter is a good method!

[@pablohu6935]

thanks for the tutorial. do you have a video where u show how to record an electronic drum.// like Alesis.... in garagaband? thanks a lot

[@heavenlyguitar5913]

This was very helpful. 😊🎸

[@JAMZ1960]

Great tutorial Colin! Thanks

[@TheBandGuide]

Hey thanks, James!

[@LA610]

Great video.....learned a lot.....editting that way....Di info. ...perfect..thanks

[@TheBandGuide]

Glad it was helpful, Joe!

[@GaryHubbs]

Even though I use GB on iOS I am loving the content. The DAW might be different but the principles transfer

[@TheBandGuide]

🤘🏼🙌🏼 YES, Gary. Exactly right

[@AvvieLanche]

Last week I bought a cheap Squier Precision and put a pickup upgrade in it and it was the best and easiest bass recording ever. Eight other higher end basses, and I struggled to get a decent mix. A passive Precision (which I normally hate) works perfect. I see why engineers demand them.

[@savinglivesofourown]

Great video! How can I get the same bass sound as the Beatles got in the White Album - I'm thinking in particular Glass Onion. I have the same bass, a Fender VI. It would be great to get that same sound in Garage Band. Thanks for the very valuable work that you do.

[@seanhoward5562]

After you've added punch-ins and moved them around, how do you prevent pops in the sound where they meet?

[@MisaelCerilo]

Thanks!!

[@anthonycrothers_Photography]

Superb! Well explained and expertly presented, loving this series. 'Punch in' didn't know you could do that! 😐I'm having big problems with latency, any advice on how I get rid of that on my iMAC?

[@briannordt4457]

When recording bass, I can't get the Peak and VU to match up the way you do. I can't get it past -10 on the Peak without the VU pushing the needle to the max.

[@PabloAGarcia73]

Same here.

[@alvendi2012]

The drums sound great. How did you get that?

[@bassclef283]

Does this apply to logic or do you have a seperate video for recording bass through logic?

[@Pungers]

I don't understand why my recording line is so skinny. my preset and vu is as you instructed but my bass sounds still quite fuzzy if I increase volume it just clips and sounds like shit and it barely shows the audio waves on the track when recording you know

[@alipbaktak]

Why is it that when recording a guitar, the original signal from the guitar can still be heard? even though I already use a virtual amp. so I couldn't clearly hear the processed audio output from the virtual amp

[@adityanaugain548]

Do all these plugins only work for a mac OS ? I have an ipad pro M4 and i can’;t download the mvmeter2 on my ipad OS ! HELPPPPPPP

[@cfmrocks]

I was following along. hanging on every word and then the golden thing happen. You used a plug that requires additional downloading and the link is not available in the description. I will have to return to this and replay video once I find this VU meter plug in. Cheers

[@TheBandGuide]

Ah good catch! I added the link for that plugin in the description.

[@cfmrocks]

@@TheBandGuide Super cool man. Thanks a ton.

[@mats2276]

Hi there! I've looked everywhere to find a plug-in that would help me to create a portamento/glissando/slide/glide effect on the software bass guitar track. No luck so far. Do you have any recommendation? I'm sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but it seems rather hard to find a solution. Thanks.

[@p3te13]

Where is the video where you talk about downloading plug-ins?

[@p3te13]

I'm replying to my comment I left a few seconds ago. Number 11.

[@aussiecoastie72]

Such a fantastic and helpful tutorial. Thank you

[@sebrinadickerson3341]

Doesn't make any sense and none of this stuff is in garage band

[@68Goldfish]

Great video/lesson! Appreciate it! Maybe you can demonstrate how to add a backing track from you tube to garage band to play along with and record a bass part over. I’m not even sure it’s possible but it seems like it should be. Thanks!
