Can’t speak for Ableton, but in GarageBand, it’s super-easy as it automatically gives a count in.

I just make sure I’ve got everything ready, press record for the video on an iPhone, the hit record on GarageBand (obviously on a separate iPhone :wink:) and we’re off! I don’t bother trying to offset tracks by x second as it can throw me if the bass starts on the 1.

Cheers mate, I’m sure it’s in there, I just need to look and not my usual approach “hook everything and go go go!”

Here you go :slight_smile:

Remember to correctly set the song tempo before adding any tracks. You can also fix that later but it’s easier just to set it right at the start.

I use ToneLib for everything.

It has a countdown function and you can record yourself either with or without the audio track. Also it has guitar effects…

I take Moises backing tracks and run thru Audacity. There I add an 8 count in.

  • Run track thru Moises to remove bass track, then move to Audacity Folder for processing.
  • Run backing track thru Audacity to add Rhythm track for 2 bars at beginning of song
    • Using the “Hand” Slide song to the right to make room for Rhythm Track
    • Select GENERATE pull down - Select Rhythm Track
    • Move hand pointer to end of song
    • Select File - Export Audio - select MP3

That usually give me enough time to get ready for the 1

After an incredible total of zero covers in 2023, I’m back with this one. This is a punk/rock local band that I quite like.

Corbak Bastards - Ça Sent La Merde

“Corbak” is an slang french word for “crow”. I won’t translate the lyrics because it’s very vulgar and politic. Like a lot of french punk, actually.

Fender Precision Bass (EADG) , Demonfx Microtubes D7K Ultra , Line6 Bass POD Pro (mod. Ampeg SVT-VR), DAI Steinberg UR22C , DAW Reaper 6.73

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising

Not my most motivated cover attempt, but here goes anyway :



I think I slightly hit the headstock just before playing and seems detune on the D, but I only realised it while I was finishing editing. Sorry for that. I will leave it at that (for now).
