I've gotten, and continue to get, a lot of questions on how I record my videos, my equipment, instruments, sound and other things. I used to have a lot of that information on my channel, but when TH-cam changed the page layout, they did away with that space, so, I've been answering those questions one by one, as best I could. I thought that a video might explain some of those things a little more clearly than I could in a written response.
Before I go forward, I'd just like to say how uncomfortable I am making a video like this. That's the main reason it took me so long to make. I don't want to come across as condescending or give the impression that I think I possess any special knowledge or skills because that's certainly not the case. I'm just going to go through some of my processes...how I do, or how I have done, certain things and I'm well aware that there are many different approaches you could take. I know my way is not the only way and is most likely not the best way.
Now that that's out of the way - prepare to be thoroughly underwhelmed.
I'm going to file this video in my "Bass Tutorials" playlist.

Troy, I can appreciate that you may be uncomfortable doing this "type of video". But rest assured sir that it is very much appreciated. Almost as much as your videos themselves. You have brought much joy and I'm certain as much relief to those of us who have struggled learning bass parts. Your videos are my favorite and when I go to see if someone has done a "lesson" or "cover" for a s0ong I have to learn, I am always glad to see THJ3113 come up in the list of search hits. Thanks again
Thank you for the very kind words. I'm happy that I'm able to be of use and always appreciate hearing about it.
I agree wholeheartedly! I never comment on videos, but I came here to say how awesome the talking videos are (this is the second one that I've seen). Your playing videos are so awesome and inspiring as to be beyond description. Thanks for posting them.
Brian, I am exactly the same. 9 times out of 10 Troy has made a bass video for a song I need to practice. He’s my “go to guy” every time. 😃👍
Thanks for sharing Troy. It was nice to see the other sides of your cool room. Cheers
I think the same!! :D
"......there's a chair." You are one of my fav channels of to watch. Cool man cave!
How can anyone hit the dislike button on this down to earth and humble guy named Troy? Shame on you!
Hi Troy, Rich Graham here, I turned my friend Wayne on to your channel. He is a upcoming comedian and through watching you he has stopped breaking my balls about always practicing and not watching movies all the time. Thank you for showing your video technique as we are going to start a podcast. I won’t be doing any tutorials on the channel but we want to promote music and comedy for the Hudson valley. As always thanks for all you do and look forward to seeing more of your videos. They have helped my playing a lot.
Proof that it's the quality of the playing rather than having boutique amps!
You should make a video walking through all of your cool monster stuff and maybe some of the masks
I think I will do that at some point.
"thanks Canada..." lol that was a good one lol
Hilarious
Troy. Extremely rare for me to comment on a public forum; but was compelled by your generosity. Not only are your music videos the best on the Tube, but now you have taken a Huge leap by sharing your personality and personal/private space. Seems as if 90+ % of social/mass media is saturated with the outpourings of brainless Boobs. So for myself, and all others like me (that I know are out there), who genuinely care about music and our fellow musicians-- I cannot express deeply enough our appreciation for all that you do to positively impact TH-cam and promote music. Thank You!
Thanks for making an appearance. I know where you're coming from as I rarely, if ever, comment on things so I really do appreciate your effort. That being said, thank you very much for the kind and generous words, I certainly do appreciate them.
Troy, I am a newcomer to your vids. I've not played bass since '91 and my old bandmates and I are planning a reunion in the fall. I found you looking for some Rush bass direction... You are an inspiration. Your videos are excellent and your playing is absolutely beautiful. Thank you very much for the obvious love you put into your playing and your generous desire to share what you love.
i just viewed this and thought it was great that you took the time to share this info and your personal space. it was cool to 'kinda' meet the madman behind the bass (saying with all respect). You definitely inspire all of us to keep on practicing. Thanks Troy. Awesome bass playing!
Thanks for watching. I hope you were able to take something away from it.
Thank you Troy! Love your attention to the details when playing the songs.
Thanks for this, Troy. I'm relieved to see how simple your set up is. I plan on making some bass videos myself in the next couple weeks so this was great timing.
Thanks for watching. Yes, my method of recording is very simple indeed and relatively inexpensive. Good luck on your posts.
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. I has been very helpful. My admiration for your talent and respect for you as a person keeps growing with every video you post. Not only are you a talented bass player but also a humble person. I hope to see a lot of new videos from you soon. Regards from Panamà!!
Thank you for the very kind words. It's comments like yours that make it worthwhile for me to do.
Thanks for posting this. Your bass tones sound great
I am barely finding your videos but i got to say youre part of the reason of me buying a bass and learning some kick ass songs ! I play guitar and have only been focused on guitar for the past 10 years, until recently your covers of the doors, black sabbath has brought out my hearing. To try and look for really good bass parts, so thanks !!
That's great to hear. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave such a nice comment.
Thanks for your time and for the "easy to take in" description of your set up. I have been wanting to do some TH-cam stuff soon myself and your video has definitely pointed me in the right direction.
+Gabriel61 Thanks. I hope it was helpful.
Thanks for the generosity of your info Troy. And BTW, like your bass work very much but was very surprised to hear your vocs on "She's a Beauty". Good stuff.
Awesome video as all of yours are. i also have picked up the bass after many years, Im sure its very time consuming but i really love your tutorials and would love to see more of those. Thanks for posting them.
Very cool to watch. That room is great. Always loved the masks. Like others have mentioned, when I'm in a hurry to work something up, you're the guy I check first. Always a great job.
-Patrick
Thanks a lot.
At the end of the day you really bring out the base that has been largely in part covered up or much softer from its original format and I just love how you bring that bass out of these wonderful songs the 1st song I ever heard from your videos was fairies wear boots and at the shame because there has got to be some of the coolest bass work and sabath history and you brought it out man
That was really my intention with my covers - to highlight the bass parts within the context of the song. So people could hear how the bass worked in the context of the song along with the other instruments. I accomplished this better on some covers than others. Thanks a lot.
Troy, Im taking up bass after 15 year hiatus. Its all changed for me as we are talking a guy who gave it up when everything was still analog. However, my playing is coming up to speed quickly. I want to thank you personally for these wonderful videos. They have been a tremendous help. The scales and tricks are coming back leaps and bounds watching you play. Really , love these videos so much. Take care man.They are greatly appreciated.
Relativity1 Welcome back. I hope you find your return to playing the bass as satisfying as I do. Thanks a lot.
You're on BEST BASS GEAR this month !! Just FYI, you are the best online teacher I've had. Thanks to you, I can FINALLY play YYZ (well, almost !!) - Mike
What is "Best Bass Gear?" I'm glad if you've found anything at all I've said useful.

Here you go, and coincidentally Mark Garza is the featured builder and he is holding my bass. - Mike
Great Video Troy, you're always my go to for learning Bass parts.
Thanks.
Thank you. It’s always fun to get a closer look at people that we admire. Good job. I like your style.
Thank for watching and taking the time to comment.
Great video troy , It was nice to see the room you do your recording in an im sure all us bass players out there were wondering how you get your awesome tone , you should do another video like this, like on your basses anyway, thanks for the video
Love your channel Brother!!!! The best piece of tone equipment you have are your fingers. Your sense of time and feel are just incredible!!!!!! I have been working on learning the classic Yes song "The Gates Of Delirium" which has been kicking my ass LOL........Thanks for all you do for the Bass Community.
Thanks so much for the wonderful comment and the kind words.
I want you to know that I've learned Geddy lee my whole bass playing life25 years , and you sir are the best I have seen by far. I watched you video on how you got started in bass , and enjoyed hearing your journey. And I really felt for you when you handed your teacher the kiss album...lol. But keep doing what you do....we all enjoy it tremendously . Thank you!!
WTF? It took me 5 years to find this gem? Lol. Loved it Troy.
What you need brother is a nice little mixer. Send a signal to your phones and one to the computer.
Back in the day, when I was recording (in our homemade studio nonetheless), I ran all my mics through a mixer that I controlled then sent a stereo signal back to the tracking room. From there we ran it through a compressor and noise gate. The signal then went through the main board then into a headphone mixer. That way, we each had our own "mix" in our phones.
Damn, I sure miss it. Great, now I'm depressed. 😔
Thanks. Yeah, the set up you described sound like it has way too many moving parts for me.
Troy, you're the "go to" guy for learning covers as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for all those cover vids. Great sound, clean technique, and it seems like you can play anything. I'm going to get back to learning "Sour Girl" as soon as I'm done writing this.
Thanks for letting us see this side of you. It takes guts. Hell, posting any kind of performance on here takes guts.
As far as equipment, let me share a recent discovery with you. This little gem has solved all my sound-related problems practicing at home and playing live. When I show up at a gig, I've got my bass in one hand and a 2U rack case in the other - no amp, no cabinet, and I'm set up in five minutes.
I don't think I can post a link here, but the name of the company is posse audio. I've used mine for a few months and it's made a world of difference.
Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad if you've found some of the videos helpful.
That system seems like it would be good for occasions where you're playing through a full system.
Thanks for the reply. It's good for playing live (used it today - no cab or amp on stage!) and for practicing as well. After further thought, I've realized that it doesn't support playing the recorded track and recording the outbound mix at the same time. A pity.
Hi Troy - thanks for taking the time to share. It's interesting and enjoyable to watch and listen to the person behind the music. Love the collection of creatures in your room too! :) Cheers!
As always, thanks for giving us more insight into your work. Just as RnR bands have been influential to my playing, in this day and age it is hard to deny that the internet, particularly youtube, is another source of inspiration. I can gladly say that in such a way your playing, your original work with Crisis, and your Neil-Peart-like modesty have definitely helped me in my own musical endeavors.
I'd like to say that it was "my pleasure" but it really wasn't. Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad if you found the video to be of some help or entertaining even.
Great tutorial. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to do this. Very cool room. Very nice, very simple set up. You do a great job with your video/covers.. Keep On Keepin ON.
Cheers.
Thanks a lot.
I'm glad you finally got around to doing a video on how you put it all together to get such great sound in your productions. I know you would much rather let your bass do the talking but this was great! It's always helpful to learn through the trials and errors of others as well as our own. I definitely need get a bit more familiar with the garage band on my iMac. A video on your basses/amps would be great too! Hopefully soon while you're on a roll:) Thanks again for spending the time as it's always highly appreciated. You're an excellent mentor.
Hi Lori. I'm glad you found the video watchable. As a person who enjoys all things simplistic, I found GarageBand, in the limited way that I use it, to be very intuitive to use - a breeze even. I think the next video I do will be on my basses with a little more detail on my sound and the way they are set up, with their advantages and disadvantages. I don't know about the "mentor" stuff but thanks anyway.
I hope you're liking your thumb-rest as much as I do mine.
Thanks for the peek behind the curtain ... I find watching your videos to be a relaxing way to unwind at the end of the day.
Excellent job. Always interesting to take a peek "behind the scenes." Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
I've watched quite a few of your videos and I was always impressed with your sounds... Wow, I'm amazed that you were able to get such great results with 'modest' equipment. I guess it's true when they say that the magic is in the fingers.
Love the man cave, love the masks, love the channel!
Troy, thanks so much for this. Your accent is not what I expected, LOL. Kind of like when you finally see a radio DJ for the first time and he doesn't look anything like you thought, except in reverse.
Thanks for watching. My accent is not what I expected either. In my head, I sound like James Earl Jones.
TJH3113 you do sound like James E Jones....
Thanks Troy, I also just completed a video on how I record my video`s. Not sure if you saw it but I did give some shout outs to your channel and others and also made a request for others to make a video on how they record there video`s. If you saw that video and took me up on that request thank you. If not thank you anyway for producing this video I think there are a lot of people out there who want to make video`s and they just don`t know how to get started so Thanks again for this post
Ken
Hi Ken. I saw your video in my feed but have not had the time to view the entire thing, but I will. It's more coincidental that our videos came out about the same time. Like I said, I've been both promising and putting it off for quite some time. If we can help someone who's considering posting some videos, I think that's great. There's a number of different ways to do it and make a decent sounding video.
thankyou for taking the time to do this video. It is a great help. and you are very generous with your time.ty ty ty very much
Thank you for watching.
Me encanta el sonido que logras con tus bajos! Agradecido por compartir tu metodología :)
Muchas gracias por mirar y tomarse el tiempo para comentar. ¡Cuídate!
Thank you, you are my inspiration to turn my bass on. Your setup is very simple, i will do it myself. Hope to see more and more your vids in the future
Troy, I've been enjoying your videos for years and undoubtedly, you are the King. No one compares to you in terms of bass tone, quality of playing, song choices and just being a cool dude. I just turned 56 yesterday and I've been playing bass in northern NJ bands since I'm 16. I wouldn't doubt we've crossed paths before at some local rock club. Anyway, I want to do some videos like you but not for public consumption - just to send to friends, etc. I have watched this video several times and I still don't get exactly how it works. I understand the interface/Garage band part. You're mixing your sound and playing that out to the computer speakers. Correct? The video part is what I don't get. To be sure, you plug a microphone into the camera, put it between the computer speakers and record the video using the mic attached to the camera? Assuming so, couldn't I just plug a better quality microphone into my phone to get a better quality recording rather than go buy a camera? Can you please clarify that? Also, at 9:10 in your video, you mention using a splitter cable from the speakers to the headphones/camera. Like you, I'm not a "techie" guy - I don't get it!! Can you explain that please? I would be extremely grateful. ROCK ON, Brother!!
Hi Sam. Thanks so much for the very kind words. It is very possible that we crossed paths (I'm 58), but I rarely spoke to anybody back then. I was painfully shy and withdrawn. I've had two different methods of recording. The early way was a microphone, that sat between a little amp and the computer speakers and picked up both the music and my bass, went straight into the camera. It sounded surprisingly good for being as primitive as it was. You can tell these videos because I'm not wearing headphones. When I started using GarageBand to generate my sound it sounded a bit more hi-fi. The splitter cable is a simple 1/8" Y cable (male/female/female) that was plugged into my computer speaker's headphone output. One of the outputs fed my headphones, so I could hear my bass and the song I was playing along with on iTunes. The other output went straight into the camera. It was a cleaner and more direct way of recording. Still a bit primitive as the audio and video was recorded straight into the camera as I played it and there could be no editing done after the fact. What you see and hear was what you got. The key to this method (or both methods actually) was finding a camera that had a microphone input. The Kodak Zi8 was one of the few that offered that feature and I bought a couple of backups off of eBay, just in case. I'd be happy to spend more time with you on the phone or in person and offer you whatever assistance I can. If you'd like to take me up on that, respond with a fresh comment because I am not notified by TH-cam about replies to my replies. Take care!
Although you may seem visibly uncomfortable in some parts of the video, I and perhaps many other fellow bass players thank you for making this video.
After following you for nearly three years, aside from being curious on how you got such a great bass tone on your recordings, I have always been curious to see the room in which you record in; I honestly thought all this time it was a hall full of masks in a living room, so thanks for finally fulfilling my curiosity, haha.
Again thanks for the video Troy; keep on rocking!
Thanks for watching. We do actually have a mask spot, similar to this, in the living room, just different types of masks.
You are actually very funny with the asides, “ thanking Canada”, “glasses”..what to do with your first mic.., “chair”. absolutely great...thank you!
I'll take your word for it.😄
You're a great guy and a great bassist. Thanks for all your YT videos.
I appreciate that!
Great vid mate . Defo wanna see a vid going over your basses👍
Thanks Dominic. Since I’ve got way too many basses to cover in one video, I did it as a series and I’m almost done with it. Check my playlists for “Bass Collection”.
thanx for sharing, it was helpul and good seeing the jam room..... nice decor, i dig it
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
Yay!!! It's finally GOOD to put a "voice" to the name!!! Lol. But it was great to hear You explain things to all your viewers out here in cyberworld despite your unwillingness to do so!!! Great Job Troy!!!
Thanks. I still have a difficult time hearing my own voice. That's why I make my wife leave the greeting on our answering machine.
TJH3113 LOL. Believe me,I completely understand the "shock" of hearing yourself on tape or video!!! Lol. And HAHA..........I don't blame ya one BIT for the answering machine!!! Mine is simply "Leave it" Lol.
thanks for the tour, you have a very cool hang out!
Thanks for watching.
Hey, thank you so much for sharing your experience and helping us get a bead on the process. It's been very helpful and I appreciate it! Be well, sir!
Thanks.
Thanks for sharing, it’s hard for most people to get up and talk to an audience. Great job, thank you for all you do.
Thanks for watching. Yes, it is.
Hey man, just started listening to your channel. You are a great player. Very humble. My favourite tunes are Natural Science for playing(as a Rush fan you should check out Devin Townsend's version) and Don't Stop Believing for tone. The sound of that T40 is incredible!
Thanks!
Great insight to your recording space an techniques. Outstanding bass playing also.
Thanks a lot.
I've seen a lot of your awesome bass playing videos, and
they really help. Have you ever done a
video on how you learn a song; you know breaking it down and putting it all
together?
lot of favorite movies from childhood , Tar-man, Count Barlow, you got it all
Super late to the party. Interested in buying a bass soon & stumbled upon you playing The Trees by Rush. Thought to myself, 'what very cool, very interesting, almost comical wall paper.' Watched a few more videos and thought that a mask looked as if it had been slightly moved. Lol. Anyway, thanks for the tour of your collectables, seeing your set up and most importantly your bass playing. Very inspiring and helpful in learning the tones particular to each type of bass.
Better late than never. Haha... funny, I just posted a video about the masks last Sunday. If you have any questions about your bass purchase I'd be happy to answer them the best that I can.
Excellent video - really looking forward to more of these.
Thanks a lot. Don't hold your breath.
I like the Tarman statue at 3:59. Return of the Living Dead is a great movie.
My sister would love your place--Halloween is her favorite holiday.
Thanks for the inside look at your workspace!
The Tarman was made by an incredible artist, Terry Cruikshank, who sadly passed away late last year after a very short battle with cancer. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for posting this. I wondered how you recorded your videos.Please consider doing another video just going through your masks and memorabilia ! You have some really cool stuff!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Maybe, one day.
Thanks for posting.. Great room... I would spend most of my time there also.
love your taste for the macabre, lot of cool stuff
Thanks.
thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything. You must be a great person! Thanks again
It was my pleasure, sort of. Thanks.
You're really a very down to earth guy. I appreciate what you're doing!
Thanks. I can say that I actually am way down to earth.
Wow. Very cool info. Thank you for all you do, you’ve been very helpful. One suggestion however... you need an Eddie mask in your collection 😉
Looking forward to more tutorials. Cheers!
Thanks for the kind words. Most of the masks are from DeathStudios. Jeff is my favorite mask maker.
Very helpful, Troy. I am equipment shopping with a couple goals in mind: First is to get a decent direct box. The Behringer BDDI is a little too cheap. I thought the no brainer was the Sansamp. Then I thought the programmable counterpart would be much better. After checking out the midrange issues of the Sansamp(s), I am considering the VT series...likely programmable. I am not too interested in any modeling features, but I will "boost" the tone a bit for recording or running direct. If you could buy only one, would you go with the VT? Now, I need an interface for recording. You helped me out with this, thank you!
Thank you for your sharing! Most definitely would like to view a video on your excellent bass collection and the story of why you own it. For me, your choice in doing certain songs lend massive credence to you influences and is evident in the bass guitars you choose to play as I own the same basses myself! Lastly, why not a headless L/XL-2 ? Very looking forward to the answer to the question! Also,a special thanks for your contribution to bass players globally as well!
Thank you for watching. Ugh, I've been procrastination for such a long time on the bass video. I just know it's going to take up a lot of time and I'm dreading it, but I will do it before I sell off a chunk of the collection. No actual Steinberger because I would not pay what they are selling for right now... around $3,000. Perhaps if I played one and really loved it, but I would not buy one on a whim. Also, with a few exceptions, I really don't think that one really needs to spend more than $1,500 in order to have themselves a really nice bass. Of course it's all up to personal tastes, but some of my favorite basses happen to be the least expensive ones.
@@TJH3113 Thank You for your reply, I agree that a bass need not cost a fortune as well, case point is that I noodle around on songs on a Jazz Aerodyne that was a thrift store rescue candidate. It has the slimmest neck at the nut and is a very fast and easy to play. This is my thrash bass that stays out of the case on a stand to be grabbed at a whim. I recently purchased a Brooklyn L2 for way too much money here in Japan. I have always wanted one and would sketch drawings of them on my high school note books and it was finally time to make the step and am not disappointed. I am intrigued with the 4000 model you have. All in all, you have great taste and thank you again. Take it easy!
Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you for watching.
Excellent presentation Troy. I like your sincerity . Your special room captivated me and I saw my favorite mask. I don't know a thing about the bass guitar so I enjoyed your informative presentation very much. I'm just a retired speech/language pathologist and a fierce lover of music ...especially Bass. Marvine :-)
You have a beautiful voice too. Sing more for us, :-)
Thank you Marvine.
Cool ...very cool ! Unbeknownst to me I came across this and as soon as I seen the monster masks and bass I had to watch.
Congratulations on finding the cure to insomnia.
I could watch this forever. Tee Hee!! I think it is great and I love to hear your voice. You are so humble and prrecious. Thanks Troy. Marvine :-)
Thank you Marvine.
Troy, your videos are not only an inspiration but they help me learn many tunes I've been always wanted to play for years just by watching you play.
You seem to have a "certain" sound on most of your basses and I know a lot of it comes from your fingers but there must be certain strings you favor, can you share which strings you use?
Thanks a lot. The last couple years I've been using D'Addario EXL220's and like them a lot. You can get a 2 pack from Amazon for like $24.
Hey Troy. Your Rush cover videos are some of the best on youtube. Would love to see some more Snakes And Arrows stuff. Been getting right into that album lately. Being a bass player myself songs like The Main Monkey Business, Good News First and Armour And Sword are fun as hell to play, would make for some cool videos methinks.
Thanks for the kind words. I haven't listened terribly much to S&A maybe I'll have to revisit it. The Main Monkey Business is too loose and jammy for me.
you have amazing talent, i know a few really good players but not as proficient and spot on as you are,......great work, thank you.
Thank you for the very kind words. I appreciate them, Moe.
Thanks for the video! Amazing decoration, too! :D
+G. R. Luna Thanks.
Im learning so much from your videos thank you
Thanks for sharing this Troy!! Enjoy your "worksation" in 360° was very cool and funy!!! :D
Thanks.
Interesting. Thanks Troy.
Thanks.
You are amazing! thanks for all the videos, just because of you I bought a new Fender Jazz Bass :-)
KEEP GOING!
That was very nice. I enjoyed watching this. I dropped to your channel while looking for Rush Freewill videos. Cheers from Poland :-)
Huge thanks for the details Troy. Great first start. Do you go to the pedal then to the Apogee - then Mac ? And i assume you just play the songs via iTunes or something and GarageBand is basically the bass EQ ? Again - appreciate all the time you spend doing these videos, and the backstory is of interest to some of us just starting.
Thanks. Yes, pedal-apogee-mac and, like you said, I just play along with the songs via iTunes. I get most of my eq from the pedal and use GarageBand simply as a way to get my bass into the computer.
thank you so much! .... ive been waiting for this video :D
Your welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for posting, great info and very authentic.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Good video. You're my go to guy for learning stuff. Man I seriously thought you were European. I expected a German accent or something. Keep up the great work!
Hey Troy thanks for posting this video. It was very helpful. I don't think you mentioned this, but what program(s) do you use to record and to edit the video? Im assuming you use GarageBand to record and iMovie to edit because of the Mac... I have a windows pc so i can't use those iOS programs. Any suggestions on recording and video editing programs?
You should do a video of Platypus opus Platt, I'm struggling in the arpeggiator part and your videos are always spot on.
Thanks.
I've never heard of it, but I'll try to check it out.
Appreciate this video. I like the tone you get from your Fender(s). I also use a Tech 21 VT Bass pedal and Fender Jazz. Do you mind sharing the settings (level, drive, character, eq)? I realize my sound won't be identical, but I am interested to see your settings. Thanks!
Ravishing Ronald By "settings", I mean the VT Bass pedal settings for the Fender.
Well sir, you may not be technologically advanced, your words not mine, but you are a darn fine bass player. I enjoy your videos immensely. Thank You For!
for the recording you do you might benefit greatly with using a little 2 xlr input presonus audiobox and hook that up to your computer, then run your garageband with it and get rid of the pc mics and stuff. an audio box would make it so you can mix it afterward and synch to your video (disable all audio on video and synch up to your mix with somehting like windows movie maker. then you can adjust bass sound according to song. if you wanted to go mic then a 2 channel audio box would also work with bass input and mic input, mix the origional audio, turn down origional bass, do the bass line with origional song and when your done tweak and mix, then synch to video. , i cant believe it sounds so good with the external pc mic your using but we are talking world of difference with xlr audio box, plus it would give you a reason to re-record all of your rush bass covers in master format. I know i'd enjoy
Great video, Troy, thanks for taking the time.
Not the point, really, but where did you get that superb Boris Karloff bust?
If it's available on line, just point me to it ... now THAT'S decor.
Thanks. The Karloff and Chaney busts were made by a company called "Cinema Secrets" and I got them quite a while ago, I don't think they're made any longer. They were reasonably priced considering the quality and I was surprised that they never came out with the entire Universal line-up.
