22 - Bass Strings for metal [ongoing…]

Bass strings are just so damn expensive… and I have to document this for peace of mind.

Set-Up

This is a longer term project due to financial limitations (each set is € 30-50)

All settings stay exactly the same, from the dials on the bass (everything on full), the Channel 2 gain on the interface to the settings in the plugins. I’ll be playing as hard as humanly possible while using a relatively thin pick to act as a compressor for inconsistencies.

The Analyzer (set to only show Peak intensity over the two riff runtime) will have the same settings for consistent visualization, including smoothing for visualization that is more true to human hearing. I’ll export the Spectrogram view from inside the plugin.

The signal chain goes from top left to bottom right.
