Here’s a bluesy funk rock jam on my Cortex bass, single take recording on a drum track I made with Addictive Drums in Cubase. I used Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings and 2 pedals, a Rodenberg 707b booster and a Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressor. This Cortex bass has a chocolate/flamed maple neck and mahogany body with walnut top, loaded with Nordstrand Dual Coil pickups and a Glockenklang preamp. The signal was recorded with the DI from my Eich T-1000 amp straight into my Focusrite interface into Cubase. No digital processing on the audio besides some volume riding and compression/gain at mastering, aiming to keep the mix as transparent as possible.
It takes a lot of time to write, practice and shoot these videos in one take. I choose to perform real-time on camera without edits or tricks, it took 3 weeks a few hours a day to get comfortable enough to shoot this video. These days most YouTube videos are heavily edited or even mimed cause it’s way easier and takes a fraction of the time, many viewers and listeners don’t seem to understand or even care if it’s real what they’re seeing. I think it’s hilarious and not beneficial to the music community and young, aspiring musicians. Playing level goals become unrealistic and the human touch, the spark and love for music is being replaced by computers and clever video editing. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not sour and do understand the world we’re living in right now, I just want to address this topic because I care about music, music is my life, spreading some awareness might be important as we’re moving so rapidly into certain directions. I feel fortunate with an audience that actually understands this and knows what’s up, if you’ve made it reading this far you’re probably just glad to see this confirmed, if you’re new to this just remember to not believe everything and free your mind. I take my audience seriously, that’s why I go deep for every piece. Quality over quantity, screw this rat race, I do it from the heart. Thanks a lot for watching, listening and reading, more videos and music releases in the works!
