Bass Recordings
Using top of the line gear like Neve, SSL, Kemper, Avalon, and more for tracking and high end basses like Fender, Warwick, and custom guitars to achieve great tone. The tools for the job plus the experience of working for 14 years as a professional musician combine to a great sounding and feeling bass line to match your tracks style and intensity. I chart music by ear and usually have the song written down as its being played, allowing me to get right to work and have a product back to you in a timely fashion.
Takes and Comping
For most music I record 3 takes ranging from simple and safe to lots of fills and creative ideas for you to choose your favorite parts for each section. I deliver a professionally recorded bass line for each take to fit the creative vision for the song that is completely edited and time aligned to the grid to make sure things are tight. The only time I send just one take is when the song is very riff focused and I feel I understand what the artist is going for and won’t be needing options to choose from. I also have a 2 revision policy so if there is something you would like changes or tracked differently I am open to that!
Tones and Files
For each take I send the raw DI files as well as the amped recordings for you to process how you see fit in the mix stage. I also send a mix of how I would process the bass for a mix ready version to just drop into your session. These tonal options make the sky the limit on how you can shape the tone of the bass to get it to sit perfectly in your mix.
