I rather fancy the drunk-girls-at-fancy-dress-parties project. Mark must have some data we can use.

So is Warwick going into the Gibson reissue business? Maybe they'll make that NR Bird reissue you lot are always on about.

At last, explanations for some of the things that are uppermost in all our minds.

After that Epi EB-1 went for $800, who'd bet on anything in the Gibson(ish) vintage(ish) market.

The Bass Zone / Re: Multi-track PC recording
« on: January 16, 2008, 07:24:58 AM »
I want simultaneous multi-track recording. That M-Audio box you use only sends two channels at a time to Garageband, doesn't it?
I've just been looking at the M-Audio FastTrack Pro, which as far as I can see sends 4 channels to the PC via USB, but is somewhat more expensive than your $69 box. If I can convince myself it's worth spending 150 pounds on, that might be the solution.

The Bass Zone / Multi-track PC recording
« on: January 16, 2008, 05:53:54 AM »
Has anyone tried multi-track (ie more than 2 tracks) recording onto a PC? I assume that needs a Firewire interface, rather than USB. Are there any (not too expensive) options for doing this?

So what's the difference between the Mobile Pre and the Fast Track Pro? Seems to be more knobs and lights on the Fast Track, which may or may not be a good thing.

Gibson Basses / Re: How do I record my NR?
« on: January 15, 2008, 10:04:18 AM »Several folks have asked for a clip of my NR rehab bass. I've never tried, so can somone tell m ehow I record my bass via computer and put it into a clip other folks can listen to? Thanks!
I'm guessing you may not want to spend money on this, at least at first. In which case you just need some sort of amplifier. If you practice using headphones, whatever you would plug the headphones into, take that output to the line-in/mic input on the computer. Then you need recording software, such as Audacity (which is free). Save the track as an mp3. Assuming it's a PC, you may have to set the recording levels using the Windows mixer, or it may just work. Also, set the amplifier volume high enough to give a strong sound, but not so high that it distorts.

Of course, if you get serious then the Fast Track box is a neat solution.
