Metal Bass Guitar tutorial...

Ola Englund · August 12th, 2010, 04:59 AM

Not as much humor in this one but just a short to the point tutorial:

You Tube

Emdprodukt · August 12th, 2010, 05:03 AM

Very cool, short tutorial! Thank you!

zakky · August 12th, 2010, 05:06 AM

you rule dude

JamesNorman · August 12th, 2010, 05:14 AM

Man your dog is so fucking cool.

xmortumx · August 12th, 2010, 05:24 AM

Nice!

muckypup1 · August 12th, 2010, 06:30 AM

Pretty cool stuff man! And +1 on the dog, Its fucking cool

Harry Hughes · August 12th, 2010, 06:33 AM

Can't say I learnt anything new, but it was entertaining enough that I watched it several times already

Great to see tutorial videos that don't take themselves too seriously, but have some good useful info in them

Ermz · August 12th, 2010, 06:53 AM

Haha, cool stuff man. I had always wanted to do a more indepth one of these, also one on vocal processing and creating space for a vocal in a mix. Just clumsy with the whole recording desktop video/audio thing, plus I never had a decent camera until now.

Anyway, funny and informative stuff

StoneLord · August 12th, 2010, 06:54 AM

Nice work Mel.

The vocal tutorial would be even more valuable!

laszlozsolt82 · August 12th, 2010, 07:18 AM

Man! That was fast

I realy enjoyed the video, watched a couple of times sofar

+1 for the vocal tutorial and maybe other tutorials as well
a master buss signal chain maybe
we love your stuffs, clips are sounding great as usual

jeid · August 12th, 2010, 07:18 AM

Haha... That's funny and informative!

LeSedna · August 12th, 2010, 07:33 AM

Please do Ermz

Do you always remove that much on bass tracks around 500hz ?

musickey · August 12th, 2010, 08:34 AM

Thats was great man!......but you gotta do a tutorial on post processing rhythm guitars, becouse everyone of your test tone vids sound fuckin killer!

Never mind, just checked out your other tutorial, good stuff

I know what you mean. The whole editing video process is intimidating as hell.

Scottxx · August 12th, 2010, 08:47 AM

Great video man! How to get the distorted and clean bass at the same time to play it live using an audio interface?

BrettT · August 12th, 2010, 08:53 AM

That was awesome! Thanks!

G1 · August 12th, 2010, 09:31 AM

I've always removed alot of 500hz. Seems to just smooth out the playing and get rid of the midrange thats essential for other instruments.

Steven Otto · August 12th, 2010, 10:38 AM

Just as good as your Guitar Tutorial.

btw, what bass guitar is used during the vid?

timislegend · August 12th, 2010, 10:52 AM

this one is just as funny!

ola... if you made a dvd out of these tutorials; i would buy it!

very entertaining.

Mago · August 12th, 2010, 11:09 AM

Why wasnt this kind of stuff available when I needed it a few years back

cool tut again Ola!

Jaymz · August 12th, 2010, 11:16 AM

Which Lasse kick is that Ola? Sounds rather punchy

reg3n · August 12th, 2010, 11:32 AM

fucking awesome!!!! thanks!

ahjteam · August 12th, 2010, 12:38 PM

no highpass on the lower track? not even at 30hz? In my experience it usually eats like several db's of headroom if you don't do it.

Yeah but I have to break the point of information somewhere. I could go on and on using multiband compressor and what to eq and not but my goal was to keep the videos as simple as possible and just get the general idea on how I record and mix bass guitar. I could easily cope with just using the instructions in the video.
