So I am thinking of recording a bassline with some funk lines and rock lines melded together. I would like to see different folks takes on it if they are interested in giving it a go. It will be raw line, hopefully in strict time, but will only be bass when I post it unless I figure out how to bounce it with cheesy machined drums. Passing it to a few folks, likely also the guitar I play with in the band. Want to see what each will make of it really. Would anyone be interested in this happy fun time?

(i can get tracks up from start but unfortunately I cannot really layer with tracks sent to me at the moment so anyone who wanted to collaborate the other way around, this is unfortunately still unless I can get something else I am working on working. Having some trouble with placeback on either WPM or ASIO , it says it is recording and is receiving signal, I just can't tell how well it is doing it as I cannot play it back for some reason, might branch into trying a different program. If you have any suggestions/ ideas as far as that goes open to suggestions I am.)

Stop over at my pad, Mygh. We'll cook it up real good.

Look, just throw the PC recording BS in the dumper and get a unit that is created for recording. No ASSio to worry about. And placeback....what the hell is that?

Seriously, though. Post it and I'm sure we'd all like to play with it and see what comes out.

I realize it's still a babe in the woods as far as production goes, but hey...

I'm waiting for a heavy tom-laden paradiddle and a power chord....is that
wrong?

Am I missing the language of the song?

It's got all kinds of possibillities. Dig it.

Yep, all'a that is to come. The 1 minute clip was just a one-off with 1 mic and a touch of 'verb to get the idea out there. Soon enough it will be dripping with embarrassing bombast!

BTW, anyone who wants to hear it, P.M. me and I'll send you the link.

Sorry I meant playback, I do have a small 4 tracker, the problem is getting songs off/onto it and I don't know how to bounce the drums with it and the manual is a POS

With a 4 track, one of the ways I make the most of it is to do my initial 4 tracks (like the bassline and 3 trks of drums) then mix them up to the pc onto two digital tracks. You can use tons of free and cheap programs to record the incoming stereo signal. GoldWave, for instance. No quality loss when mixing to digital like down to a 2 trk tape. So no hiss and crappy low-end spreading. If the recording software has any effects, you could do some mixdown tweaking with compression, normalization, eq, etc. then record those trks back down onto 2 stereo in the 4 trk and so on and so on until you get the amount of trks you want, then end by recording onto the pc for the master. You'll probably need an adapter that has stereo RCA jacks (or whatever the 4 trk unit has for output/input jacks) that turn into an 1/8 in. pin for the PC's input/output.

The key word I left out, was is about 6 years old, it can read a SD card up to 128 mb, no bigger, but i cannot find any cards that small anymore, so it only reads a 32 mb card. Giving me at most! 4 tracks = 5 minute song. Drum is on an independant 5th track I don't really know how to bounce together with the others.

Mygh, I just told you how to bounce tracks, then back into the 4 track leaving 2 open tracks for other instruments, etc. My 4 track is about 8 years old, btw and is analog tape driven, so no excuses!

you contain only vague details with no specifics, one problem is my recorder uses a special type of audi file for its tracks. I know how to convert them from it via their program but not back also. and the issue is not bouncing tracks, its bouncing them and getting them to keep the rhythm tracker embedded in it opposed to on the side.

also I understand your RCA cable thing now too, so maybe I could use that to mix down on computerotrons with the proper adaptorials.
