Crowella Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) A sober gig is a wasted gig But is a drunk gig also a wasted gig?* Finally got an acoustic gig in about two weeks and without auditioning for it like they wanted us to (which is odd, maybe they know we're good?) First one with the new band, should hopefully go really well. An afternoon gig at a café on the corner next to my work. Planning to bring a decent sized crowd. So desperate to get my upright for it. Would be nice to play some bowed goodness and fit in with the HIPSTER crowd. *Never been able to drink before/during a gig. Every gig I have done I have had to drive at least an hour to play or it was a super uptight festival where sniffer dogs went through each of your guitar and bass cases, leaving mud on your gear and everything in your car.

james90 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 cool, i've been trying to figure out how to record direct. i'm probably doing something wrong, unless the thing i bought actually doesn't function as a DI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will_ Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Is good Jamie, although the tone's almost a bit too compressed for me... It needs to be FREEEEEYAAAAAA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 What's the problem? it just sounds.... bad. I have the line out from my amp going into this, and it's just really fizzy sounding. there's a level control on both the amp and the DI box (so I don't think anything's clipping), but it just sounds like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVC6JK8OpVA trollface.jpg well, maybe a bit worse than that. maybe like a distortion pedal turned full up going into a computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 You might need speaker emulation. i was thinking that could be it. i'm using a $40 tube DI (yeah i know) but it sounds the same when plugged into my interface. is there anything i should check out in particular? That's the micro cube - sounded different through that than my marshall... And James what DI box do you use? I dont really know how to fix it art tube MP (which is actually a mic preamp i think, but i was told it can be used as a DI) and it sounds a hell of a lot better than what mine sounds like!

You definitely need speaker emulation then. Just look into various software like Guitar Rig and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowella Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Double post, so STFU My other band has been recording, Oddly enough, I didn't actually participate in the recording, not as if the bass was difficult. First time I heard the song was when he was mid way through recording it. Just saved studio time. Edited June 4, 2012 by Crowella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave. Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Oh I thought it was a Falling Down cover to start with. In my defence I came up with this intro before I heard Falling Down. I'm trying to come up with something to replace it but nothing that could equal it has come up yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
