Week 18

Richard adding Bass


hi there guys and this is my 18th week at noise solution the first thing that needed doing to my Maggie may piece done by Rod Stewart is recording the bass so in order to do that i needed to hook the bass to the desk and to that i jacked the bass through a DI box which changes the level amount of electricity i use for the desk so basically it doesn't blow it up it's like a transformer reducing electricity to the right amount required. And then from there another cable leading from the box to the desk so that the computer can read its there. After everything was set up it was time to practice and record the bass so the studio owner who plays the bass kindly gave his time to show off his skills and practice with the lads. i had to manage and maintain him so that he could go over the music sheet and in order to get the sound of the piece i had to play the original song and then my version soon after an hours worth of practice we nailed the first part the song but there is still work to be done with the piece. so far the days gone really well and I've enjoyed helping and playing along side the studio owner.  We also brushed over my version of the song adding effects such as sound compressors and EQs.
