Okay, so the bass guitar and this along with the drums fan sort of forms the foundation of most groups. So if I'm doing a soundcheck, I tend to do the bass player and the drummer at about the same sort of time. So we'll do the bass and then we'll listen to it with the drum kit. Right so we got the bass and bass di and we'll switch the compressor EQ and compressor for the basis over here. At the moment, it's not really doing a lot. We've got one of the BSS compressors on it so it's switched in.

We set the compression ratio to four to one And then set it to normal attack and release. I think it's kind of a bit of a fancy sound I'm not so sure let's listen to the mic see what that sounds like. I must admit I prefer the sound of the microphones to the TI. This is quite often the case of bass guitars, but the DI will be a nice clean signal. And so we'll be able to push the low end on it, whereas the microphone tend to have a much nicer sound. It'll be the sound of the actual amp and speaker cabinet and more what the bass player is trying to achieve.

So we're kind of using a blend of those and once again, we'll be very cautious of the face coherence between the two. So we'll have a quick listen to that bass guitar di swish the filter in and I'm going to bring the low pass filter down this time just to get rid of some of the top the real top on it. And I think I'm going to push a bit of low mid in on it. And I'm going to put on quite a wide filter. Now we got both of them wearing now think you can hear the radical difference of switching the face of the microphone against the DI, you get so much more something on the low end when you've got them both in face. So I'll just swap it again.

So that's I'm going to reverse the face on the microphone. Much nicer sound I think Much more when I'm after just gonna listen to the mic on its own again. Once again, I'm gonna put the filters in a bit. I'm gonna bring the low particles down quite a lot actually. Switch EQ out and have a quick listen to it. So put a big bowl up, put a bit more sort of upper mid sense, try and accentuate the finger noise a bit.

And then put the DI back in which is a slightly flatter. Just gonna check my compressors compressing slightly He recently had through the by sound and now can listen to the base of the drums together. Now as you see up in pushing individual faders up so what I'm actually going to do now is I'm going to group them into vcas display as well ways we can do this. So one thing I'm gonna do is I'm going to put the drum kit into one VCA and I'm gonna stick the bass guitar into a second VCA so I can pull up the faders so I've pushed these up now obviously you can you can't hear anything because the VCA master VCA is down. That's not my drum VCA my bass guitar VCA Good so the game down a bit on the hi hat. I think she never really stopped working on the channel.

As soon as you hear different bits up, you keep reaching up see me reaching for channels, wireless and stuff anything that kind of bothers me as I go along I'm going to make small changes to there when the height came back and it was a bit loud for me. So turn the game down a bit because I still want to keep my feet around about there, turn the game down, and I took it a bit more to kind of annoying crack crack out of the height so make it a bit smoother sounding bass guitar so I'm just gonna listen to all again I must admit I'm really not liking this bass di but I quite like the sound of the mic, so I might just ditch the bass di For the time being, yeah, because I quite like the sound of the mic is quite a nice natural full sound.

So
