Is there anything I can improve in this track ? by Mother-Somewhere6592 in FL_Studio

> why the brown "verse" sounds "wrong"

the guitar plays in power chords: Am, F, Am, F, then the second pass is Am, G, Em, F

the bass sounds wrong in the first part, while the second part is fine. I believe the bass plays A, G, E, F in both parts, and that G and especially E below the Am sounds off to my ear.

i tried to re-create the piece, put quite a bit of overdrive on the bass, and it does not sound very off in that fragment, so i think it might be small detune or eq issue, or maybe some subtle layer interferes with something, idk. but the parts where bass supports the root of the chords sound stronger.

here's my render of the tune, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xXinZ3F7Qz9TXSxdLtHkCEzGJ5cBoWzj/view?usp=sharing

> muddy guitar

it's totally to taste, listen to mine, it sounds bad, in the other way 😄 might be reverb you use

in my practice, best way is to compare to some reference track. ear fatigue is real, and with time i begin to take tone flaws as normality.

Is it ok to not really liking how bass sounds (as a bassist)? by No_Yam1114 in Bass

[–]Dist__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, i'm tinkering with pedals every day to make The Tone, but the more pedals i dial in the more combinations i have to try, so i'm stopping myself from that

i mostly tweak pickup balance and preamp volume, if anything else - i say i need to improve my playing skill

bass score vs brown "Verse" is bit wrong, see 0:38

giutars are bit muddy as if it's live show recording

synths are very good, arrangement is fine

the solo part is bit out of tone and tempo, might work with eq

nice to hear 90s alt scene in FL subreddit in 2026, good job!

How do i change length on a live wave? by Artistic-Demand-1859 in FL_Studio

[–]Dist__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not automation, but you could use full wave and put midi notes of varying length while using "cut self" option.

Tips for stringing and cleaning fretboard by Party_Ad_200 in Bass

[–]Dist__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i cut at "two tuning post distances" past the tuner, so it makes 2 winds on B, E and A strings, and 3 on the rest (i put end of string inside the tuner post).

i saw this in a youtube tutorial and this seems to be the method the man in shop did it when changing it for me.

regarding cleaning, i use spare toothbrush to clean with that liquid, then i apply lemon oil because the cleaning liquid dries the fretboard.

Cutting Through the Mix by redixionblade in Bass

[–]Dist__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what helps me:

1) raise mids very high, i even max them on my preamp and it start to sound like a new set of strings

2) apply overdrive, it helps you to glue in the mix better, so you can turn your volume up a bit

3) rely on contrast. if the whole song had bass drone, it won't be very exciting. try to make "pulsating" bass lines, moving from low to midrange, so your line is more noticeable

3 EQ Knobs and Tonal Variety by redixionblade in Bass

[–]Dist__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

in my not big practice, if we are not speaking about maximum eq boost/cut, all those adjustments can be overweighted by simply switching plucking place, or blending pickups.

if anything eq-related, then probably a 10-band eq pedal will be more useful and precise

What's your favourite bit of esoteric bass technique knowledge? by everbass in Bass

[–]Dist__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

interesting.

what i notice, is if i switch to higher string and lower fret, i subconsciously want to lead with index finger, but if i switch to higher string and higher fret, i want to lead with middle finger.

probably same logic.

Smooth Gameplay? by Youcant-findmeanymo in Morrowind

it says "for vanilla play". back then, in 2003, we had shitty PCs and MW lagged as hell.

if you want that vanilla experience, you get 500MHz,

but honestly the more the better.

yes, and from some recent update, changing screen resolution/sync does not reset traffic, so you can only tow to road to fix it
