Making my acting debut as “Angry Brit” haha :)

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

you did an amazing job, Pete!

[@souldry]

Yeah it was pretty funny

[@Module79L]

I have to say, Pete, reading those texts with an "angry brit" accent gives them a whole new dimension. XD

[@chronoshadow2611]

Dude that was actually very good, maybe you could consider voice acting, it was really well done and very funny!

hi rudy

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

4:06 I'm in the same band as that particular guitarist. That recording session felt LONG. We had no idea what our work structure was going to be like, so we spent 2 hours of a 4 1/2 hour session setting up and sound-checking the drums, only to realize that our drummer took his cues off of the bass and guitars, so we didn't actually record any drums. I recorded all my bass parts to a click and - interesting fact - the producer asked me to play a somewhat different way than I usually would, so I did. Like a courteous musician. The guitarist (who sent these texts) then proceeded to spend ages going through his parts section by section (including the solos) until it was all to the click. It came as absolutely no surprise to me that the producer turned around a week later and said he no longer wanted to work with us. Both he and I were urging our guitarist not to rush everything, as rush jobs never sound good. Here's hoping he doesn't see this and hate me... I sent the screencap along to Glenn

[@audioorigins]

I'd just like to add that I enjoyed working with you. You were prepared, knew the song in and out and had great suggestions. It's a shame rest of the band wasn't up to your level. I'd be happy to work with you in the future given there are different circumstances (read band haha) Please do keep in touch. We need more bass players like you in the world.

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

Chris Illusion Thank you so much man. I will definitely keep in touch

[@MrPizzaMan139]

Also, you're a bass player? Who actually knows his shit?

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

I'm actually a drummer by trade, but I'm a big fan of the show. All of my craft-improvement skills and studio courtesy pointers I learned from Glenn

[@MrPizzaMan139]

Hey, nice to meet a fellow drummer! I also dabble in Bass as well as Guitar. I'm a 'bedroom' musician as of right now but I hope to get more serious once I get better at my instruments.

I loved how Colin lost it. 😂

Thanks Glenn, been waiting for you to post another of these! You rock sir!! Keep bringing us the good stuff!

Jen and Nita are both amazing musicians and humans. They may be more famous for the bands they’re in (Evanescence and Alice Cooper, respectively) but their solo albums are beyond awesome!

The texts are classic... getting KZbinrs to read them is pure GOLD !!..... LOL

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

Glad you liked it! Was a little nervous changing up the format, tbh :)

[@marcellinden7305]

I found it a bit more entertaining this way, particularly when also seeing the 'actors' and their reactions while reading them... Doesn't change the stupidity of the texts, just adds extra humor to what engineers and tech's have been dealing with for years on end even before 'texting' was invented ... ;-)

Caption, an indie band's Facebook Page "Bass player went to Guitar Center with us, said he wanted to buy some pics, he grabbed all of them (even the regular, jazz, thumb and other non-bass picks). When he went to the counter and asked us to cover his 271,64 excl. VATS because he spent all his money on weed and we said no he started throwing a tantrum and then this happened. Guess we're looking for a new bass player, or a guitar player that's ballsey enough to take one for the team. Hit us up guys!"

[@tomhorton5964]

Re: the drummers that bitch about changing their setup for recording... Instead of bitching about it, maybe practice with your kit set up in a "conducive to making great recordings" way. That way, even if you don't like it for regular play, you'll at least be familiar with how it feels. Or you may even find(as I did) that you'll come like it even better than your regular setup. Oh, but let's not push the boundaries of our abilities and what we're capable of, or anything! Sincerely, a drummer/budding sound engineer.

Have you ever been surprised when a band or artist shows up, with you having 0 expectations, yet they *did* actually nail their recording sessions in little time? Seems like it's something that'll be quite rare, especially with so many people thinking they can actually pull that off.

Hence why this is a bass player quote. Do really expect a bass player to know this?

[@johnholmeswebb8162]

He he has singers cupping the mic in his studio, that means he must not use a pop filter. My first metal band I was in recorded an album in 2002 and we knew nothing, but because our engineer used a pop filter, our singer couldn't cup the mic.

Fastest I’ve ever recorded was 6 songs in 3 hours and that was with one short easy song being done in one take. Recording drums and bass in an hour for anything more than 1 song is pretty near impossible.

[@pipelineaudio]

Good in the jam space DOES often mean good in the studio....the trouble is, defining what's actually "good" in the jam space. Its like the "but we're so good live" thing....Suuuuuuuuuure you are....Because while you are playing on stage you are in the best objective position to make those judgments right? "but we're so good in practice" and, "but we're so good live" is right up there with "the check is in the mail"

Can i get one of these picks? Yeah sure. (Drops all of them) Oh. I'm sorry. (Starts walking away) You are no going to pick them up? It's for bass!

[@joebobhenrybob2000]

Do you think there's any merit -in terms of tone - to using a dedicated mid price emulator (roughly $1k) like a Headrush or Helix LT over using a decent amp vst in the box? We can't all get a Kemper and I record in my apartment. Just trying to make a best choice of available options.

[@SpectreSoundStudios]

maybe a used 5150 and a torpedo reload try that!

[@joebobhenrybob2000]

SpectreSoundStudios thank you kindly. :) ... now here's why I don't need to change my strings: (hahaha) Here's how I maintain a good tone. I wash my hands before I play and use 11's or 12's on the theory a heavier string holds up better. ...and I change my strings!!!! Ahahaha.... thanks again. :)

[@joebobhenrybob2000]

SpectreSoundStudios just wanted to come by and thank you again - you got me out of my amp modeler fugue state. Got me looking at amp heads. I didn't realize all these mini heads existed. (Probably a decent bedroom studio option?) The Orange Micro Terror. The Joyo banTamps, the Hotones (their Vulcan Five-o. Is supposed to be like a mini 5150) the Vox M50 lineup, Quilter 101, Bugera T5... almost too many options. Mini heads could make for an interesting episode if you feel like it

3 types of bass players 1. Drummer’s best friend, knows their role in the band and uses skills to enhance the over-all sound of said band 2. Hack who wishes he could play guitar, but is lazy and lacks skill but still somehow manages to over-play his parts. 3. Uses pick to play bass and is shunned by accomplished bassists

[@blaness13]
