What's the electric equivalent (or bass)?

[–] breaks@lemmy.studio 1 points 7 months ago

Depends on how loosely you define "play". In terms of where I've put the most time definitely synthesizers, samplers and the studio itself (DAW) if you count that. I can get by on keys I guess and I'm probably at the point where I could play bass in a punk band.

It's a all relative really, if you play none and know nothing then I can play many, but if you've put decades into mastering your instrument then I'm just some amateur figuring it out as an adult in spare time that can't really play anything.

But I can make you a cool synth patch or come up with a good fx chain. I put more energy into learning sound design and synthesis than a specific instrument. But now that I can do that and know how to mangle a sample to hell and back I'm looking to incorporate some more physical elements.

You and I alone.

Thank you.

No, but it does tie in to my goals. It's a gap in my arsenal that I have wanted fill for some time. But it is a lower tier priority instrument for me so good question. Probably on a the backburner in a few months?

I practiced acoustic a couple years ago for maybe a month or two before deciding to pursue other music knowledge. I have been practicing bass a bit recently which in hindsight probably counts as an electric guitar.

But this is my first time holding and plugging in an actual 6 string.

Edit: but I'm basically starting from scratch when it comes to remembering or knowing how to play any chords, etc. Luckily I have learned some theory since then.

Not bad, I've been playing bass on and off for a bit so I'm used to it

Shooting for an EP this year.

I really like it. I saw Kraftwerk using it live and they know what they're doing. I actually picked up one like yours second hand as a backup but haven't felt the need to try it.

Edit: video of a live performance, not in person unfortunately

 

I bounced a track with incorrect parameters accidentally but I kinda liked the result

 

Playing around a bit more in this project.

Once I can share my loops.video page I will.

 

Very inspiring stuff

 

Non-YT short mirror (however, I would really appreciate the YT algorithm engagement, while acknowledging it can be awful sometimes)

Disclaimer: this is old and was cathartic, I'm in no harm (at least we don't have that bot here).

Actually have you watched this? (timestamped link), that looks like a setup that better would fit your needs.

Sorry for the YT short link

I'd mirror if I thought I was posting to anyone but the void

Bonus points go to whoever can tell the song I sampled

Once again I've bounced out a project I was working on in Bitwig, chopped it up in Koala, and resampled it to hell.

 

Interesting points brought up my a prominent Bitwig user. What are your thoughts?
