I would like to know about the low bass sounds. Is that just eq and tape compression on a vintage bass? Any tricks to know how far you can go. Do you mix with a sub? I'm sure you do.  |
i don't use a sub. as far as recording the bass and kick to tape, i learned a trick from Gabe the Dap King and i don't know if it would be right to divulge

the live rig is an Allen & Heath Mixwiz. i love them. the one in Brooklyn(with the Otaris) is an A&H as well - but most of my work these days is on an Amek Angela in São Paulo. I'm not Brasilian, by the way, i just live here - i'm from Long Island, NY.

actually, touring solo is very practical! after the initial investment of course: i have a DubSystem permanently located on the European Continent, and lots of good friends that look after it. another one lives in NY. i also have a machine in LA. i learned the hard way not to fly with heavy, delicate equipment and as a result my '65 Jazz bass lives in Brasil year round.
the TV work definitely helps to smooth over the bumps, but it's not consistent. so i make hay when the sun shines.
free work is pretty much not possible anymore. turning 40 will do that to a guy.
