congrats @401Blues , your bass playing is getting more and more fluid and natural
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
) 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 ![]()
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…

Great job mediaklan! Keep it up!
Love the Blues @401Blues ! Awesome playing!
All sound advice
only trouble is
stand up, move around a bit, and have fun with it.
After 10hrs a night at work on the solid concrete warehouse floor, I never really play standing, feet are dropping off ![]()
Well done on both of these @DeadPixels !!
Thanks John ![]()
- Great job, nice groove
- I am so jealous of your long thin fingers.

excellent as always. I wouldn’t mind a video tour of your bass collection.
Great job as always Justin!
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
Nice groove here. There’s a lovely rhythm in this song. Well done.
Great sound @terb (ça envoie clairement le message ^^)
While I’m not into punk, I always loved the energy. Nice !
thanks ![]()
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).
Good stuff bro!!
Thanks! I won the genetic lottery for something I guess lmao
