Post your covers! (2019-2022)

Ill plug it in and find out what happens.

Hang on . . .

Well I plugged it in and it said ‘Setting up Fender USB Audio’
Then it said ‘Fender USB Audio is now set up’

No clue as to where it is though, unless it’s in audio devices - it’s certainly not in the ‘This PC’ section.

Ah well, I’m not about to start using it now anyway, but at least I now know my PC recognises it.

Start a DAW like Audacity or Reaper and see if it is available as a line input.

Vik · October 22, 2019, 3:34pm

I use a USB directly from a modelling amp, directly into my computer’s USB port, with Audacity to record. It’s not a sophisticated setup, but for basic recording, it should be fine, especially if your computer is recognizing it.

Ok thanks Howard

Mark_D · October 22, 2019, 3:37pm

Thanks Vik

I just checked into this. That USB out on the Fender Rumble 40 is a DAI.

Here’s a page from Fender Support on how to set it up.

Oh that’s just great. Really helpful
Thanks Eric

OK, I guess it’s time I posted something here… and it is a cover of sorts…

This is a song by the guys I started to play with - guitar player (who typically plays with a guitar synth slaved to the guitar) and drummer. They had made a (low key) recording in the rehearsal room, and the guitar player then added some overdubs later (a bit of keyboard and some bass). I found the bass hard to discern on the original recording I got, so I didn’t even bother EQ-ing it out… but just added my own bassline - hence, a kind of cover.

So, here it is… no sonic revelation, with the occasional small blunders (I start early with them as I come in a bit early on my third note), but all in all quite OK. The tune is called “Full Moon”:

Hope this link works!? (Composer credits stated on SoundCloud page!)

Well done @joergkutter! Very melodic, peaceful, and intriguing! Felt as if I was on a journey through time and your bass line was providing the means of transportation…!!

Kudos my friend!

Keep on Thumpin’!
Lanny

howard · October 23, 2019, 2:35pm

Very nice. Love the tone. Which bass is that?

terb · October 23, 2019, 4:22pm

That’s cool ! I think we should open a thread like “Post your songs!” for original compositions, because it’s not really a cover, it’s a real new song

joergkutter · October 23, 2019, 4:41pm

Thanks for the nice compliment, @Lanny - much obliged!

Thanks, @howard - it’s my Yammy (the TRB5Pii), through Garageband using a modern stack and a little bit of chorus.

Thanks, @terb - I think there is thread for that already, but I guess it hasn’t seen any action since, oh, January perhaps

eric.kiser · October 23, 2019, 7:04pm

@joergkutter Well done, sir. Keep them coming.

joergkutter · October 23, 2019, 7:11pm

Thank you kindly

Vik · October 24, 2019, 2:32am

I like it and what a great way to end my day with a mellow track! And yeah, an original song is pretty above and beyond. Keep us updated on the band stories too - this is interesting, to see how this ends up evolving.

howard · October 24, 2019, 3:03am

Nice. That thing sounds great. What a nice bass.

joergkutter · October 24, 2019, 5:38am

Glad to hear, @Vik! Thanks!

muff · October 24, 2019, 12:46pm

Bloody great mate!

muff · October 24, 2019, 1:01pm

You’re being really too hard on yourself man. You’re fingering was pretty much spot on. The speed thing doesn’t really apply until you have the song under your fingers anyway, which you do! Persevere my friend, it WILL happen! Oh to be blissfully unaware!
