Note that this is the fearedse(ghetto) way to record bass guitar so if you disagree on some part of this video then keep it to yourself or do your own goddamn video :D

Note that this video is considered to be more as a guideline on how to record bass guitar.

Hope it helps!

And if you record anything be sure to send it as a video response to this video!

Spread the word about Mel!

"...set the distortion so it sounds like shit..." That's so awesome! I had to watch this three times in a row!

@User010101 I'm using Logic internal just to make a point that you can use just about ANY distortion to get this type of sound.

@Rawdonguitar the song in the intro is the one I play in the Framus Cobra - Metal video.

@User010101 I use superior drummer 2.0 I'm on it making a tutorial how I set that up aswell. In this video I'm using the Logics built in guitar amp.

@hideki12345 Thanks man, I'm currently planning on doing a Superior 2.0 tutorial so where I'll include some free samples. Stay tuned!

Ola, thanks for these clips. They are mega helpful for those of us producing stuff from home on a budget. Bass was an area I wasn't familiar with but I'll try this technique soon and see where it gets me. Certainly makes a lot of sense to HP/LP the bass in order to make it gel in the mix with the guitars. Keep up the great work! Loving the comedic presentation as well.

gods, these are the best tuts, so quick and clear, full of power tips. specially the compressor part. very practical. usually people love to obfuscate when it comes to compressors. so uncool. a compressor tut, touching on most mix elements would be sweet. thanks for sharing!

After about 8 years of trial and error, I think I'm finally starting to grasp the general idea. Cheers, man.
