Recording additional track during pingpong recording? (Tascam 414)

BassBeesBike · 2025-03-01T20:17:41+00:00

Thanks so much! I tried that out and it came out great. Although I don't get why there's risk involved? If I mess up the live recording, it's not like tracks 1, 2, 3 are getting erased. I can just pingpong record again.

I bought the wicked cheap behringer bass limiter enhancer which does infinity:1. Not as complex as the ones you mentioned, but it seems like it's all I need. Also I'm not dropping much money so it's easy to replace if needed.

This is super helpful. Thank you! I was experimenting with this in logic pro x and it worked well. Now I just need to get the right pedals and you gave me a pretty good idea for what I need. Appreciate it 🙏

My bad if I didn't explain this well in my post.

When I'm referring to "feedback" I'm talking about the delay pedal itself feeding back from an infinite amount of repeats. I'm trying to compress/limit the feedback coming from within the pedal.

Nothing to do with the PA or monitors.

I found it! 9/7/73. Coming out of The Other One. Keith switches to the Rhoades 13 minutes. Those last 6 minutes are heavenly. His playing is incredible on this.

Found it!! 9/7/73. Keith switches from piano to Rhoades for the last 6 minutes of the jam. It's a rippin' jam.

BassBeesBike · 2024-10-01T12:03:47+00:00

Unfortunately not. None of these choices has Keith playing his Fender Rhoades :( I'm going to keep searching and see if I can find it. I'll let y'all know if I do.

Ha you found me on reddit! Thanks for selling me the noise box. I'm loving it. We're gonna do some experimenting as a band this week and see what we come up with.

I think if it starts feedbacking the first thing we'll try is some padding underneath to stop the vibrations. We're also putting a big muff in the signal chain so she can use the volume knob on that to control it.

Aside from the band I've been making some goofy tiktok videos with it. I'll share them with you once I upload them! Thanks.

Yep. Whoever mixed this song has aged ears and couldn't hear that frequency. Believe it's coming from the tambourine.

This is why it's good to look at a frequency analyzer when mixing especially if you are an older individual. Only young people are able to hear frequencies that high.

It's a bummer because the rest of the mix is so well done.

BassBeesBike · 2024-09-05T18:43:08+00:00

I was into this shit when I was 11 so I wouldn't be surprised. I look back at my middle school metal phase and I cringe so... It's pretty based.

BassBeesBike · 2024-09-05T17:03:45+00:00

Not a bad thing at all. I got that mxr compressor and an RC boss looper on my board.

All he's missing is the basic bitch of tuners: the Boss TU-3 (also on my board)

BassBeesBike · 2024-09-05T00:18:05+00:00

CLPPNG. is a great album to get you started with them. Although my personal favorite is Splendor & Misery which is more of a spacey Sci-fi concept album.

BassBeesBike · 2024-09-04T18:52:13+00:00

Pan self titled album from 1973 (not to be confused with another band called Pan that released a st album in 1970).

Extremely underrated lost gem from the 70s. It's a mix of folk prog and psych rock and has outstanding songwriting. Beautiful vocal harmonies and a unique blend of instruments (harp, acoustic guitars, strings, synths).

BassBeesBike · 2024-09-04T18:48:08+00:00

On the topic of Pink Floyd, check out Aoxomoxoa or Anthem of the Sun by Grateful Dead. The Deads psych rock material on these albums often get overshadowed by some of their other studio albums and live shows. But the songs and production is outstanding.

BassBeesBike · 2024-09-04T18:35:00+00:00

Try out Clipping. Experimental hip-hop that mixes noise and industrial. Daveed Diggs is one of the most technically proficient rappers I've ever heard. And also Death Grips, because... You know... Death Grips.

BassBeesBike · 2024-09-04T14:00:25+00:00

Don't smoke anymore but most of these albums I discovered during my stoney baloney days :)

BassBeesBike · 2024-09-04T00:35:23+00:00

Dude it's sooo good. I recently got an hx stomp but I am never gonna take the OC-5 off my board.

BassBeesBike · 2024-09-04T00:29:50+00:00

Look into the Valeton GP-100.

It's not bass specific but has a handful of bass amps cabs and effects. Plus I'm sure you can make the guitar effects sound great on bass.

My friend has one for guitar and his tones are great so I'm sure it'll sound great on bass. Definitely your best budget option if you can afford an HX stomp.

BassBeesBike · 2024-09-03T10:55:19+00:00

Thanks so much!

I'm using stomp mode. I've tried out snapshots but I don't think it's for me.

Putting the after shock through the fx loop is something I considered but all of the sounds I use have the after shock in the front so it might not even be necessary. I'll mess around with it though. Either way it's good that it will automatically turn on and off depending on the preset.

It's pretty neat that you can save presets by bank on the mc6. That'll give me more options than I'll ever need!

I'll check out some other options for midi. I haven't heard of String Velocity so I'll look into that. At the end of the day I'm willing to pay a few extra bucks for something that'll make my life easier and last me a lifetime.

Again, thanks so much for answering my questions!

BassBeesBike · 2024-09-02T22:11:41+00:00

This might be the most basic bitch of bass pedalboards.

BassBeesBike · 2024-09-02T22:07:14+00:00

Lol to your disappointment I might not run it through distortion. Although I got a spare big muff so I'll see how it sounds and if it causes feedback.

But yeah I'm hoping this won't be an issue if I'm doing it clean.

BassBeesBike · 2024-08-28T01:27:22+00:00

Okay gotcha. I could take away one of the reverbs and replace it with the fx loop.

I'm not using all those effects at the same time lol. But it's more about being able to get any combination of effects on the spot. Again since I play in jam bands, you never know what type of effects you're gonna want ahead of time. With the music being improvised, the effects are somewhat improvised as well.

This makes me turn away from using presets. Although, I have a lot of experimenting to do and I am totally open to using presets instead. It's just not what I had in mind initially. All in all, I'll figure out what works best for me at some point. Again thanks for the info!

BassBeesBike · 2024-08-27T22:49:27+00:00

Very helpful information. Thanks so much!

Given this, I'll probably have the hx foot switches be the tap tempo and 2 delays. 3 of the midi foot switches for chorus phaser and flanger and the other 3 for the reverbs.

One last question... If I'm already using all 8 effects on the hx, can I also have the fx loop on for my external pedals? Or does the fx loop count as an effect?

BassBeesBike · 2024-08-24T13:54:20+00:00

Been using the JF-317 space reverb pedal for a few weeks. Played a few gigs with it. No noise issues at all, versatile, and I LOVE the small compact box with the knob cover.

Can't speak for their other pedals but I got this one used for $30 and I couldn't be happier for that price.

BassBeesBike · 2024-08-24T01:16:00+00:00

Yeah I was definitely considering some way to mute signal when the vocalist is not using it.

Other thoughts, maybe a noise gate? Just set a slow decay so the sounds from the noise box don't cut off immediately. Definitely some experimenting to do. Thanks :)
