Old guy here, just started recirding my music after 35 years. Love your work. Thank you

God Bless! what a great video! so many thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much! I have always struggled with finding the best settings for recording bass. Your break down was clear to understand and efficient. I will learn much from your tutorial. Once again thanks for your much appreciated help.

Great content! It’s the small details that make all the difference.

Such a fantastic and helpful tutorial. Thank you

Yo this is sick! This dude tutorials are the best. Gotta put some respect on em

Great job! Well documented and very useful! 👍

I was waiting for this video, refreshing for hours!

Lots of good tips. I’ve never been happy with the tone of my bass recordings. I’ll try all your pointers on my electric bass. I actually use a mic to record my upright bass, so I’ll work in some of your techniques here as well. Many Thanks

This was very helpful. 😊🎸

I always just went to the presets. I guess I was scared to try anything else. Your lessons give me the courage to try. Thanks my friend.

Learned a very cool tip on punch-ins that I wasn't using. Thanks for that!

Great tutorial Colin! Thanks

This is exactly what I needed! I just got a new Jackson bass I haven't even plugged in yet 🙃 🙌

Thanks!!

Great video.....learned a lot.....editting that way....Di info. ...perfect..thanks

This was very helpful information on using the Peak/VU meter and amp sims. My bass rig is a Mesa WD-800 and 212 cab, and I use my Behringer XR18 as my recording interface. I typically record on 2 tracks simultaneously; one track is a Shure Beta 52a micing the cab, and the second is a DI from my amp head. This allows me to record the tone of my amp as it is in a live setting, and also allows me to use my pedalboard. Once recorded, I can then balance the mix of the DI and Mic tracks. After watching this video I’m going to download that Peak/VU meter and will use that on all my recordings going forward. I will also record a third track by sending a clean signal (pre pedalboard) to another channel in my interface. Then I can experiment with the bass amp simulator and effect on the clean signal. I’m very interested to hear how they sound. Thanks again for this video!

Thank you for explaining the circle. I was getting two tracks of guitar and didn't understand why.

thanks man. coming from ipad here. hella confused about everything on the actual computer version. I was trying to record bass today and the sound of my bass starts strong and then slowly gets quieter and quieter. gonna follow this step for step. thanks dude!

Superb! Well explained and expertly presented, loving this series. 'Punch in' didn't know you could do that! 😐I'm having big problems with latency, any advice on how I get rid of that on my iMAC?

Great video/lesson! Appreciate it! Maybe you can demonstrate how to add a backing track from you tube to garage band to play along with and record a bass part over. I’m not even sure it’s possible but it seems like it should be. Thanks!

Great video. As my Bass is active, I always find it hard to stop it clipping. The VU meter is a good method!

I find the emulation of the classic Ampeg SVT is great. I personally like using it with the 8 x 10" cabinet.

Even though I use GB on iOS I am loving the content. The DAW might be different but the principles transfer

thanks for the tutorial. do you have a video where u show how to record an electronic drum.// like Alesis.... in garagaband? thanks a lot

The drums sound great. How did you get that?

Great video! How can I get the same bass sound as the Beatles got in the White Album - I'm thinking in particular Glass Onion. I have the same bass, a Fender VI. It would be great to get that same sound in Garage Band. Thanks for the very valuable work that you do.

Hi there! I've looked everywhere to find a plug-in that would help me to create a portamento/glissando/slide/glide effect on the software bass guitar track. No luck so far. Do you have any recommendation? I'm sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but it seems rather hard to find a solution. Thanks.

When recording bass, I can't get the Peak and VU to match up the way you do. I can't get it past -10 on the Peak without the VU pushing the needle to the max.

I don't understand why my recording line is so skinny. my preset and vu is as you instructed but my bass sounds still quite fuzzy if I increase volume it just clips and sounds like shit and it barely shows the audio waves on the track when recording you know

Why is it that when recording a guitar, the original signal from the guitar can still be heard? even though I already use a virtual amp. so I couldn't clearly hear the processed audio output from the virtual amp

I was following along. hanging on every word and then the golden thing happen. You used a plug that requires additional downloading and the link is not available in the description. I will have to return to this and replay video once I find this VU meter plug in. Cheers

Where is the video where you talk about downloading plug-ins?

Last week I bought a cheap Squier Precision and put a pickup upgrade in it and it was the best and easiest bass recording ever. Eight other higher end basses, and I struggled to get a decent mix. A passive Precision (which I normally hate) works perfect. I see why engineers demand them.
