I got off the hotel wi-fi and used my phone and was able to listen. Great job! I posted a comment on the website.

@PamPurrs and I were talking about maybe doing a livestream that can be recorded (pun intended) for Bassbuzzers and keep it very simple and direct on recording yourself with a backing track using two different DAIs, DAWs (Reaper/Abelton) etc.
I think this would be really good for us to do.
Bare bones, just what is needed, no fluff, right to the point.

@TNKA36 I just remember that I used to create a specific tag for my covers of australian bands : Australie | BASS COVERS ON THE COUCH

I would welcome this!! Thanks for considering it @John_E and @PamPurrs. I had my Sweetwater sales engineer quote me some home recording gear (see pic below) but I havenât got off my arse and placed the order. Hell, things are what they are, I havenât gotten off my arse and done A LOT - I am weeks behind on the 50 Songs Challenge, and my practice routine is for crap. I will regain the momentum - eventually.

My $0.02
hmmm, why do you need a mic?
You singing?
Most record direct vs. micing the amp.
I donât know those monitors, but they are not what I would buy.
I think what @PamPurrs just bought (she can chime in) is what I would buy to replace the ones I shouldnât have bought.
You canât go wrong with a focusrite.

Thinking it was recording audio from the amp into the mic. Since I was only tire-kicking, I didnât spend the time to ask those questions.
I did however challenge him on the speakers (these are higher end than I need) and another brand he recommended were the ones @PamPurrs recently got - I think I remember seeing them on that post.

Are these the ones he recommended? These are great monitors. If you have a larger room, you might consider the 8 inch ones instead, but for my size room these are more than adequate.

Yes, those https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LP6pr--kali-audio-lp-6-6.5-inch-powered-studio-monitor-pair are exactly the ones he came back recommending after I challenged him on the Focals.

Those Kali monitors are well worth every penny. I actually think theyâre worth more than the $298 a pair theyâre selling for. I say go for it!

$298 for a pair of 6.5" is a good price.

Great idea John, @John_E ,
Bill @Lanny already has a tutorial on recording covers using GB.
Maybe we should discuss at the hang next Mondayđ

I agree with Pam. I have the Kaliâs as well and they are great! Iâve been mixing and mastering with them, with no issues, including using some sub bass sounds in some tracks. Very happy with mine, just make sure you have good isolators, no matter what you get.

@John_E , thatâs absolutely bonkers, how good that cover is. To my ears youâre spot on.
Tone-wise, you got that beautiful blue Fender dialed in perfectly. What strings are on it? Anyhoo, that cobalt-like blue has got to be one of my absolute favorite colors.
