You're amazing, thank you so much 💙💙 keep doing your thing out there, I love hearing from you!

Yeah! Looks like whacky than the headphones but still lets me hear what I'm playing since it's going through a preamp into the computer

Thank you!! I was very into it 😂

Thanks :) this is just a live take, not mixed or mastered. I was in the monitor room with the keyboardist, which is why they're louder - they're patched through the board and audible in the room. The drummer and guitarists were in other rooms, so they're not as loud, and I was in a DI. It's just a raw clip for a progress report 🫡

😅lol A really beautiful song though. Well done 😀

Thank you! I tried my best, I think it gets a little better every time. I'm a very harsh critic of myself, so it's a struggle to even get myself to record vocals

@@montanajonesmusic yo do fine, just keep your eyes open, when you close your eyes thats when you go with the beat and cant tell what your face is doing. its completely normal you got this.

Thank you fam 💙🦇

Ahhhhhh you were one of my *very* first subscribers!! I remember your username. Thanks for sticking around for so long and for your encouragement - it's been a wild ride and if it wasn't for people like you helping keep my spirits up, I might have given up a long time ago 💙 Thanks a billion and keep being rad :)

@@montanajonesmusic lol remember me when you are the next famous rockstar with a voice like that you should def do more with it.

😤 I will remember you always Your comment inspired me to just go for recording a cover I've been hemming and hawing about - check back in a bit for something new!

@@montanajonesmusic cant wait

It is done Mr. Batman 🦇

Thank you! It's a Squier Bronco - the only customization about it is a red lace sensor pick up!

😊

I'm recording the video with my phone camera and audio through Amplitube. Then I convert the video to a .mov through a website, and put them both into DaVinci Resolve and squish em together 😭

@eMontanaJones Amplitube is a modeler for the most part...not really an audio capture software. There are several other free softwares that might work better for you as far as audio. The trick is to capture the audio at a nominal volume (not clipping), so you can then process the recording after the fact with a clean signal. Sometimes, just capturing the audio at a louder volume is actually making thing worse because the signal is too loud and distorting. This particular recording is an example. You can hear the bass clipping and distorting because your are capturing the performance with too much gain (volume). Try record it quite and then use another free mixing software to boost the gain and eq. Hope that helps! 😀 I am always here to help if I can...been recording on a budget for 30 years

@eMontanaJones very nice!!😀🤘🤘❤️

Thank you friend 🙏💙

Hey thanks! I have no idea what to do with it, but I like it too

I know I'm sorry friend. I'm trying to figure it out but it's a lot of trial and error 🥲

Thank you rando internet person, I hope your sleep is absent of obnoxious beeping

@@montanajonesmusic I hope your night is filled with amazing dreams of only the finest base lines and chord passages :)

At this point I'm just hoping for a night with more than 2 consecutive hours of sleep 🥲

Hey thanks Nate!! 💙

That's not nothing!! Thank you 😊

@@montanajonesmusic oh yeah dont know your irl name but uh montana have a great day 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏😀😀😀😀

That's my name! Montana's my middle name but it's what I go by.

@@montanajonesmusic love ya girly so have a good day and remember me when your rockin on a stage

@Rhys-fj9uh always 💙🤘

Thank you 💙

That's what I was thinking - multi-tracking the bass part or having a heavy left-hand playing a bassline on keys. I got the volume up a bit post recording, and I think that's helped! Fingers crossed that it's sustainable - I'm glad to hear you noticed a difference 😄

Thank you for replying! I play in a band - I joined in June after an audition. They've been playing for about 6 years, mostly originals. I have a few videos and shorts on my channel of us performing. We're working on some new songs for an upcoming release, so definitely some group writing. I wasn't envisioning this piece as the actual low-end bassline so much as a melodic part that happens to be played on a bass guitar. But wanting to ultimately be a solo vocalist and bassist, I aim to define my style and sound outside of traditional bass parts and push the envelope a bit on my terms. So I was thinking maybe some left hand keys to hold down a bassline or another bass part underneath, as Hugh suggested above. As far as the audio goes, I'm working with what I've got. I can't afford A/V editing software, so for now, it's the best it's gonna get until I can. I can only get the volume on the bass so high without significant clipping impacting the sound quality!

​@@montanajonesmusic ah ok, I see the live vids now! As far as software, there are some great free ones out there. Audacity, Alberton, Garage Band, etc. Universal Audio (Luna) is REALLY good! Assuming you already have an audio interface :)

One day I'm gonna get it figured out. The Focusrite is great, it's just a lot of setup to get clips recorded with and even with it I still can't seem to get the audio right.

@@montanajonesmusic I often double the bass track (copy the 1st track, paste on 2nd track, then bounce them together) makes it much beefier. Also: Aguilar Tone Hammer is very useful

I'm trying to learn a few different instruments, but bass is my main one!

@@montanajonesmusic kay good to hear from ya!

Not quite lol one album earlier

Nice, bass players of the world unite 🤘

it was, but iirc they brought it down after recording to make it sound like a bass

@kevinpunk2006 Hence the hint 😉

@skykatkat is on it, either the guitar was drop tuned or it's mixed to be lower (or both; I was about 14 when this song came out 😳)

Everyone knows this

@@montanajonesmusicstandard tuning and using an octave pedal

I love playing over drum tracks. I'm still struggling with audio but it's getting better; at least now it's stereo ;) now to get it louder, clearer, and to learn to record over a track

@@montanajonesmusic can help you w the audio, what usb interface and recording software do you use?

I use a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and OBS as the software to capture audio & video

@@montanajonesmusic those are excellent. I assume you’re using the high-Z inputs.

Assuming that's the direct input for instruments with the 1/4" cables, then yes 😊 so far so good

It's a lace sensor pickup but basically and it's the best thing that's ever happened to me lol

@@montanajonesmusic groovy, have fun.

@@roscoschmosco5524 always 🤘

Close enough lol I'll give it to you

Whoops forgot the no

You're still a winner in my book 💙

Not quite but that would be a fun riff to play on bass!!

@@montanajonesmusic try it on the next video ill like and sub ;D

@Rhys-fj9uh you got yourself a rootin tootin deal

@@montanajonesmusic YIPPE

@@montanajonesmusic im subbin do it

🥺 no and I've never heard that Queen song but now I'm off to listen 🎶

It's hard panned to the left side and I *finally* figured out how to record it without it being mono. I use a focusrite and OBS

Agghh thank you, I didn't realize it. I have had nothing but trouble with audio recording since I started this journey

Yes! Can't believe someone got it with this super high quality audio 😭 you're a hero

Are you going to be my girl by the very catchy tune. And I'm a rhythm guitarist player lol

@gordonbihl100 rhythm section ftw 💙

Yoooo

Green Onions.

Lol this is a valid point 😭

Woop woop 💚🧅

Come on, come on, come on 🎶

Lol trust me I know, my Sisyphean task is trying to figure out how to adequately record bass audio while also recording video

​@eMontanaJones I actually like the way it sounds here. maybe I can hear it better cuz I'm wearing earbuds

@-JimRice- I appreciate it, I wish it was more audible!! I turn the amp up, but then everything in the room rattles when I play and that's just worse. I gotta figure out a better system but I'm not a big A/V type of gal

If your amp has EQ, you could dry boosting the 1000 - 2000Hz frequency range a little for clarity. And perhaps the 2000 - 6000Hz to give it some presence. Don’t boost these by much, just enough to enhance the audibility. Ignore this if you’ve already tried it.

Are those ranges the mids? I have a Fender Rumble 40, its eq is pretty basic (bassic?). Like bass, low mids, high mids, and treble ranges basic. I need to hunt down the things that are rattling in the room and fix that, too. I have a focusrite Scarlett, but it's apparently incompatible with Samsung (which is the brand of my phone I film everything with), and therefore it hard pans the sound to the right.

Thank you! This was an old one

Nope! I was listening to myself through a monitor

Thank you! I hope it inspires people to pick up their dreams and run with them

Oohh okay thank you!! 💙💙

A duh doy 😤😎

Thank you :) it's certainly a work in progress

🤩 You're a hero

I appreciate the tip :) to get in the right octave, I couldn't get the low F anywhere else than first fret on E. And I didn't like the timber of the open A, so I'm playing it on the fifth fret mindfully. Same for the C - I wanted the better bend at the 8th fret of E.

@@montanajonesmusic (This might be a controversial take, but...) Don't worry about it. Everybody's sound, especially when starting out on an instrument, isn't great. Just keep getting comfortable with the instrument, and eventually you will find your sound.

That's a bingo!

Thank you!! I'm learning. I knew it would be difficult, but man is it DIFFICULT

You've been a huge part of the encouragement and support 💙💙 what do you mean about IG editing? I have no idea how to do it or how IG works 😭

Thank you wise cat sage🙏💙

💙 thank youuuu! I'm not super superstitious (heh), but 17 is my "the universe is talking to you" number. I like this. Also, is bass the best instrument or WHAT
