This is part 6 of a series of videos that I’m releasing as my album draws closer to the finish line. In this part I track bass guitar and talk about the importance of new strings for that percussive sound. When tracking is done, we will move onto editing and then mixing. I will share my methods in editing and mixing later on and that is also when I will give tips about how to achieve a good guitar tone and so on. You should subscribe if you are interested in music, recording, mixing, tracking or anything that has to do with this because I will start from the beginning of a recording and take you all the way through to a finished album. The whole process is going to be documented.
Quick info about me: I’m just a guy who is trying to achieve a personal goal which is to single-handedly write and produce a full-length album. All instruments are played by me.
I will try to answer any questions in the comments so just ask away if you wonder about something I forgot to mention in the videos.
Thanks to Andy Sneap for hosting a great forum over at the ultimatemetal.com forums.
