Ok…Finally did it! Used my new Scarlet Solo. Figured out basics in Reaper. Got video and audio to synch. As for the performance. I give it a B. But I really am fed up with the song. So, there are a couple of dropped notes, but I just rolled with it. That 4 bar passage with the 8th notes accented like triplets just killed me every single take.
EDIT: So I got my first ever copyright claim WTF?
So ac/dc has to go on Vimeo.
Some bands are totally blocked on YouTube. This is one of them.
Ok. Lets try this for the third time!
Nice Job @Old_WannaBe
Your bass sounds great, nice and clear and loud but the backing track is super low though.
Some minor timing bits and blips but overall good job.
Here’s my attempt at Highway to Hell. Partway through learning it I decided for the first time to give an honest try at using a pick. I enjoyed it a lot! Definitely flubbed some of the fills and came in way too late on the end part but I’m happy enough with it and even more happy to move on.
P.S. enjoy cat cameo. Nothing like a goofy orange cat staring at you to ruin your bass face 
Nice Job @RoyB
A bit of timing bits here and there.
This is a tune where nailing the timing makes a big difference as there are not a lot of notes.
one thing on tuning - yours is fine, AC/DCs isnt, you can see here…
If you find our discord server the corrected backing track is there.
Not sure how you are recording, bass is very loud in the mix.
Not a big deal here, as we can ignore that part.
Great effort, keep them coming.
Thanks for the feedback @John_E, always appreciated!
Regarding the tuning - I’m using the backing track I downloaded from Discord. Does it still sound out of tune?
For the volume, I usually crank up the bass a bit in my DAW to make it stand out more for feedback’s sake. This video is also the first time I recorded with a compressor so I may have overdone it with the boosting. I’ll keep that in mind going forward.
to me something is amiss, but maybe others will chime in
Hmm your timing’s spot on, the setup’s good (nice bass btw!) but I just get the feeling that the tuning’s off a little. Then again the bass is pretty high in the mix…
Good work with the pick ! There’s no way you can play ACDC without one IMO
I love your cat, he was clearly trying to steal your show 
Great timing on that one @RoyB…. The version of the song you are playing to appears to be about 1/4 flat which is why it sounds out of tune. There are numerous songs out there (such as this one) where the song is listed as standard tuning, but run an alternative (slightly flat) tuning that doesn’t fall into the full 1/2 (one fret lower) tuning. For these recordings I have found that by using your ear to match the first note played, and then tuning from that note, you’ll be on key…. This is where learning to trust your ear over written tabs or notation comes in handy…. I’ve had to retune my bass (and guitars) several times to match the tones of a recorded song - this one is a great example….
Nice job @RoyB ,
Few timing things to work on, and I think the tone was really bright in the mix,
At least you had your audience engaged for your performance 
Keep up the good work,
Cheers Brian
Bass boosted audio only version.
oops. Guess I missed a song.
Hi @Vince Vince,
I THINK you did a good job here. I say think because the bass is really low in the mix and a bit to hard to hear, so I used the ‘do I hear anything offensive to my ear’s expectation’ tactic and did not.
I think you were in tune and in groove though.
I like the graphics, but would like to hear a bit more bass.
@John_E Thanks. Here’s a bass boosted version if you’re interested. I didn’t really care for the tone of my bass with this song so I just blende it in on the video. SoundCloud - Hear the world’s sounds
Ah cool, ok, now I can here.
So have a look at the chorus here…
Those little dots under the open A string notes indicate they should be played ‘steccato’, meaning short, leaving little rests in between vs. one note blending into the other (basically, mute the note right after playing it). This gives the chorus a bit of a stomp-stomp-stomp vs. a booombooomboom effect. The G, A and D are normal note values.
I thought your tone was fine.
A couple timing blips but not anything to fret.
Great job!
Thanks for the info. Lol, I didn’t even notice the little dots, let alone question what they meant.
@Vince tried listening but the track is missing from Soundcloud. AC/DC are blockers. You can’t use YouTube either. The only place I found that worked was Vimeo.
Ya looks like it got yanked, I played it but now gone.
Darn blockers! Oh well, I don’t like the song enough to bother fighting to keep it up. On to the next one.
