For the past several days I have trying to recording Bass Guitar on the song "Afraid of the Dark" and get a good sound. The part I am playing is pretty good but it's the sound that has been boomy and not much high end. The song is a up beat reggae song with the classic Kick Drum on three note Bass guitar lick. There is also I melody that is felt in the bass the vocal and instruments play with.
I figured it out.
1) Turn down the Bass on the amp, to bring out the high.
2) "Drive" turn up a little distortion.
3) Mid up, Treble up
4) Turn on the "Compressor" in the recorder.
5) Click "Edit" change "RATIO" from 240 to -8!!!
6) This "Evened the Sound Out" of the Bass and made it sound great in the track.
"Being Alone" was writing at the Hotel and all it is was just a melody line that repeats over two chords Am E7. The length of the song is now 3:00. Could end up being on the album "On Time" will replace any song that does not "Withstand the Test of Time".
