Recording: ‘¿Dónde Está El Baño?’ bass

With drums recorded, Dónde now needs bass. In a first for Light Audio Recording, I made a video tutorial that might help.

Because people absorb information in different ways, maybe it’ll help even more people see how they can record music in a compact and affordable way.

Recording

Despite the excitement of a video tutorial, I’m including writing as per. Because that’s how some people learn things.

But, recording bass for Dónde… – as with most bass sessions – is the easiest session of the project.

Firstly, I set up my gear. In this case, that meant…

Audio interface into Chromebook
Then bass into audio interface, via my pedalboard so I could tune the bass
And headphones into audio interface so I can hear what’s up

Secondly, I did my admin. In this case, that meant exporting my completed drums track, then importing it to a new project for recording bass.

Then, I got a level, and nailed it in… more than one take!

It was all very straightforward.

In conclusion, there’s nothing of note to comment on this session. It was so straightforward.

However, my bass does sound incredibly flat or dry or something. Perhaps I should invest in an amp or a pedal or… something?

In any case, here’s the end result.
