    You might already know this but you gotta flip the polarity on your DI bass, and sometimes you even have to delay it a tiny bit as well to get it to really sit well with the amp bass. It also helps to have each bass track doing a different job.. Like, one is the super clean low end bass, and one is the more saturated harmonic trebly bass. And then blending the two you can kind of find a nice gainy distorted sound without making the low end all flubby and muddy with all that overdrive. Especially if you are doing fuzz bass.

    @scottshields3054 11 місяців тому +2

    Mario, usually if you're using an DI bass track and a mic'd track together you have to phase align them. Basically what happens is it takes slightly longer for a mic'd signal to get to a recorder than a DI track does.
    Something else is if your amp is in a corner like you have it, you're probably also going to get quite a bit of bass build up coming out of there, so sometimes you can use the room to your advantage if you have a rather thin sounding amp that you need beefed up.
    Then I know I've mentioned this to you before, but you also can get some really interesting sounds if you run a bass through a guitar amp while simultaneously running a bass amp.
    Keep up the good work.

    • @Mario_DiSanto
      @Mario_DiSanto  11 місяців тому +3

      I used to move my amps, drums, etc. into the middle of my room to get the best EQ and room sound. I gave up on that very quickly even though it did get me a better sound. Sometimes the best way to record something is to save time setting up and use that energy to focus on a great take. Well maybe...that's at least how I justify not moving my stuff out of the corners haha.

  • @prinsezkaffeehexen8196
    @prinsezkaffeehexen8196 9 місяців тому +1

    I hated the DI sound for my whole life too, until I realised it mostly needed only 2 things : good amount of compression, and maybe more importantly : saturation. That's what the amp/speaker/recording chain add, and definitely what lacks with today's perfect cheap gear. Thinking Pink Floyd or Neil Young's bass tones were pure DI made me really want to try hard to make it sound good, and finally there's not much to it ! Even the Beatles used the di along with the amp at some point.
    With that say I agree : it's way easier to get a good tone micing the amp rather than using a DI. Everyone always says that micing an amp is hard but my (really tiny) experience tells me the opposite. One mic against the cloth, around cap edge, and another one 5 to 10 feets away and you're good, just gotta check the phase.

    @Mario_DiSanto If you're having trouble with a DI'd bass blended with a mic on the cab, I'd look at phase issues. The mic'd sound might be perfect on it's own, but unless it's distance from the speaker is sympathetic to the Di version, combining them is going to be problematic at best.

    • @Fl4ppers
      @Fl4ppers 11 місяців тому

      This is true. You can dial in the phase sometimes with a digital delay set to 100% wet and a few milliseconds. You also need to cut the bass from about 160-250hz on the mic'd bass, and roll off the high end on the DI in the crossover frequency.

    If you’re tracking your bass with a DI along side your bass amp, try saturate the DI track, get a clean as possible amp track, then high pass the DI track somewhere between 200 and 300 hz, then blend the two. Letting the amp track take the lows and the DI emphasise the attack. Something you could try if you can’t get the DI to sound good, obviously, all taste at the end of the day.

    The reason why they used foam under the bidge was to shorten decay so that the bass would not use too much energy in the mix. Keep in mind that bass was mostly recorded DI at that time, not by micing an amp. So a bass amp is useless Mario. You'd better get a good solid state DI box (e.g. the ACME audio) or tube DI (e.g. the A-designs REDDI).
    If you wonder why @Motown they were using 2 drummers, well, that was (a) to heard on top of the brass anr (b) to match the definition of the bass and the ryhtm guitars that werer tracked direct.

    You're a very lovable dude keep at it I reckon you can go far as you like. Especially talking about things like the energy and attitude of writing. Go climb a mountain, box a kangaroo and smooch your crush, then plug in, hit record and turn your brain off. What flows through you might be rock n' roll!
    Always be sure to take anything in with a grain of salt and apply your own filters and sensibilities. Try leaving your brain on if it suits you or the music better.
    I could go all day as I woke up on the right side of bed today but ill end my diatribe now to illustrate my last 2 cents that as far as ending a video and in every scenario, I think respecting peoples time is as important as it gets. Im sure you could google a pamphlet or read some literotica that'll teach great interesting ways to climax.. but you inherently respected the audiences time and ended the video when it was time to start working on the next one.

    Are you delaying your bass DI to match with the Amp/microphone? The phase and tonality is going to be pretty bad if the DI and Amp signal's transients aren't hitting at the same time.

      @Mario_DiSanto  11 місяців тому

      I have not been delaying it. I could see why this is a problem but something tells me they weren't delaying shizzz in the tape era days when they were mixing the two. Maybe I gotta play with the mic positioning more.

      @@Mario_DiSanto They definitely did delay the DI instruments if they were used in combination with a real amp. There are several pieces of hardware that will delay the DI for you by however milliseconds you want. I've got an actual hardware device in each of my studios just for that purpose, and one is definitely vintage.

      Wilco played incredible telecaster with Dr Feelgood a rhythm and blues band from a place called Canvey Island in England not that far from London. Canvey is near Southend a place a bit like Coney Island because it has rides and candy floss and some crazy people. In about 1974 I remember sitting eating fish and chips outside while Teddy Boys started throwing chairs around ect . I was about 7 with my mum ha ha . Maybe a year later I fantasised about becoming Tommy or a pinball wizard type kid and got some good pinball scores .

    Hypothesis for why you don't like your DI sound:
    It's the bass itself, bro.
    Your bass is shaky on it's own, so the amp helps soften the edges and warms it up.
    I have a Brownsville New York (identical to the epiphone version?) violin bass with flat wounds and I believe mini humbuckers and it sounds great direct in.
    I also have a dan electro dano 63 bass with round wounds when I want a slankier sound and that also sounds beautiful direct in, but I prefer it amped

    For me, compression is completely unnecessary most of the time. It's part of why I hate pop music. You can hear these people relying on it as much as they do pitch correction. Control the gain on your interface and make sure that you're not clipping too badly, and once the track is recorded, use a filter curve EQ to get the sound to your liking. That's about the only thing I use to manipulate sound IN the DAW. Other than that, the effects you hear are coming straight from my amplifier.
