To take it in another direction, I have a GAS question.
I was looking at these. I know many have recording set ups, making this not necessary…
Or maybe because of the set up and use with a DAW, they are handy…
Idk,
But either way, I have equipment to be able to record, but am finding it a pain in the ass with only an IPad.
I know I will get there some day, but even so, this still looks like a handy and useful device for what I am wanting to be able to do.
I am finding myself, more and more playing riffs I come up with, that sound, well, IMO, pretty freaking bad ass. Sometimes unrefined, sometimes pretty perfect.
I am not really song writing, and am not really there yet where I am just sitting down to compose a full length bass part for a song…
But
When I am wanting to, I want to have these bass riffs available for me to go back to.
Idk about how easy that would even be, to be able to record and more importantly, organize them in a way that will be helpful for me to go back and work with easily in GB on an IPad. It might, but IDK
But because my recording stuff is not set up and left in place, because I use the iPad for everything else I do, it does not sound convenient to use for riff recording.
So, I was looking into this pedal. It is not a looper, and I have a couple loopers in my Zoom”s as it is, but it is a riff recorder. And you can use it with your DAW, or it’s own software or app (maybe) and name and organize however you like.
It’s as easy as power (9v when not by all your stuff) plugging bass into the input, and playing the riff (possibly need a pre amp or Zoom B1Four or similar before it, not 100% sure yet) and recording what and how you play it, rhythm, tempo, slap, pluck, pop, pick, etc…
Right now I am taking a lot of time writing it out in my notes on my iPad, just to have something.
It’s a pain. I could record the sound acoustically with my phone, or record video acoustically, but organizing that stuff is a pain in the ass without a computer to download it to.
Lons story (as usual) short…
Anybody have experience with or have a TC Electronics WireTap pedal, or a similar product?
