Oh well - maybe it’s time to find a bass tutor… if only for the human contact
You may be lagging just tying to keep up.
Slow it down a whisker until nailed and inch it back again maybe?
Ha, yeah, I am beginning to doubt my previous statement myself now… and my apologies to Gio for potentially citing him wrongly. I guess it all roots in the fact that I am a “rusher” myself… and also shows how hard it is to “describe” this vs. learning to develop a feel for this!
Here is the one of the pieces of advice I got from Gio back when as I was playing over a jam track he had provided:
I think this also applies to your “challenge”, @Ed
And here is a quote from Josh himself:
Yeah I definitely feel myself locking in more with the vocals or guitar than the drums, especially if I know the song well. I’ll give Gio’s tips a go - they seem pretty solid
This is great @joergkutter - his advise is a really great way to think about it.
Melodies meander, grooves are grounded.
@Ed ,
After reading through this post, this occurred to me. I was listening to my last cover and noticed that I was behind in the groove. I couldn’t understand why I was that far off and it hit me that I had a latency problem in the DAI/DAW settings. I rechecked and discovered that I had a 100ms issue because I was using the wrong drivers. Might be worth a look.
You know what @JerryP - I was gonna say you were a but behind the groove and maybe being a little ahead would “push” the drive of the song forward better but never typed it.
I think your right. Weird on the driver.
Is that for the focus rite?
Yeah, it was the Focusrite. I didn’t have the Focusrite ASIO driver selected in my setup. I corrected it before I posted the video, do you still think it needs tweaking?
Changing the driver after you have recorded it shouldnt change what was recorded. I think.
Cool choice of cover to learn to cover @Ed . I was a big WASP fan around this time too ( circa Electric Circus)
I reckon you’ll have this nailed in no time!
I’m a “rusher” too especially when I know I’m coming up to a tricky or exciting bit @joergkutter . And then I’m sometimes so pleased with how I play said bit I end up lagging behind
Thanks @Mac ! I loved WASP in the 80s - they kind of lost it in the 90s but then again so did many rock bands I guess…
Good point @JerryP I’ve not yet done any proper setup on the DAI - just plug and pray - might be worth digging around a bit…
I changed the driver and then re-recorded it. Comparing the timelines of the tracks showed the latency problem.
I went back and just listened and sounds perfect to me, so if its the same video then its me (sorry, got the 'rona the other day and in a bit of a fog).
It’s really really really good @JerryP - you’re a production powerhouse!
Thanks John! I really appreciate your input.
edrums (yeah, I let Ableton to quantize them ), bass and guitar … Friday evening noodling
Just humanize them again, problem solved
Humanizing works surprisingly well.
Figuring out picking and sliding, need a smaller slide, and to learn the rest of the tune, lol.
Oh, and the sax part…
That sounds awesome!
Thanks!
This thing is super fun to play.
I cannot wait to get the technique down so I can relax and get more in the groove.
Sounds good and looks good! Tone sounds spot on!
