Maybe OT but what do you guys use to distort it? I've just been using a OD820, (No POD or Sansamp available)
TheStoryteller said:We used a similar technique on our last album... one DI track, and one distorted track that was blended in. The distorted track was recorded through a regular TS9 and an Ampeg amp + 4x10 cab.
You can listen to it at http://www.myspace.com/thestorytellersweden, the track Changeling starts with just bass and drums, for your listening convenience.![]()

1. clone d.i. track ( so you have to of tracks of the exact same thing)
2. on one of the tracks set up and e'q to HPF up to 700 and a LPF down to 2200 (give or take).
3. Slowly bring the filtered track up until you like what you hear.
This really helps to a get a bass heard a lot. Some what has the effect of new strings. I am pretty sure this was one of those gems that Andy told us about a long time ago. Also maybe add a little distortian to the the filtered track. This also allows is about the only way to get your bass heard on smaller speakers.

The only people more cheap than drummers giving excuses not to put fresh drumheads on thier kit, are bass players not buying new strings.
