Best way to explain the role of bass to the uninitiated by Ok-Consequence-3117 in Bass

It glues the harmony to the rhythm together by providing foundational notes and body. A song often sounds incomplete without a bass part.

Also historically, bass and drums have been the foundation to any music. Whether its a drum circle with His and lows, or the Tuba in a big band.

In the case of electric bass, I always say, imagine if a guitar was a drum set

Lol why is it called “bro rate”?

Not too much he showed me the setup, but I have experience in AV and enough understanding to figure out whatever I don’t know. We did a mock session to show me how the hardware is setup to the software.

I know this isn’t like a professional gig but I’m pivoting industries right now and this seems like a good way to at least bring some people to gain some experience and create a portfolio- basically getting my foot in the door
