If I want my friend to send me a bass line should he send it with a click track in the song? Should he play to a click track and send it? Or can he se

What is the purpose? Are you trying to jam along to the track and have the bass line be a perfect loop every time? If that is the case then yes, have him play to a click. If you plug in directly or from a bass amp you can set the sample to start recording when he starts playing, but you will have to manually end the loop at the end of the measure or phrase. Then listen back to it and see how it sounds, if its not perfect you can edit the start/end point of the loop. It can be difficult to get a perfect loop but not impossible. Hopefully that helps!

He should play it to a click but not Include it in the track he sends you. The pad has a built in metronome that you can set to only come out of the headphones. So he records it to a click and mutes the click before sending it to you. You load the file into the pad and you set the tempo to what he recorded it to. Then turn the click on and play the track. If it's done correctly it will line up.

I absolutely love this for bass. Here is my set-up: OLP Music Man licensed 5 string/compressor/tuner/AC Tone/direct box/PA. Sounds amazing run with drive down to a little crunch when digging in or chording, character at 2 o'clock tones set to taste. Great on guitar, too.

I always record the basic drum track on track 1 on the left set of knobs and then add guitars, keyboards, vocals, etc on the other tracks 2-8. You can export some of thise tracks and empty them out and reuse them again if you need more than the 8 available. As long as you keep a couple of basic tracks to follow along with, you'll still be able to make them all match up time wise.

Although I have a bass, I have never tried it through the G5...but I was thnking about it just last week. It is possible to get bass like sounds out of a guitar, but its not ideal. I was considering using a real bass to just layer in something with the looper function then switch back to 6 string for overdubs.I see no reason why the effects, EQs, compressors etc wouldn't work fine. I doubt you'd get much mileage out of the amp models and distortion stomps though - or the tube booster circuit. I guess it could be quite creative (with the z-pedal!), or it could be a reasonable tool for tailoring a sound...can't vouch for it just yet though I'm afraid.

I use my loop for all bass parts and it works great. I run guitar left 50 on main out, bass right 50 on main out, that way I have separate channels on my board. You have to make sure you record the start at the same time as the first track though to keep it is synch. My recorded bass is always correct, never forgets the arrangement, takes no cut, and never misses rehearsal. The 3rd channel is available for other parts. More recently I put down 4, 5,6, 7 or 8 tracks on my digital recorder, mix them down, and put on one loop. It frees up a lot of space on the loop, and it still sounds live.

Absolutely, no problem. Record the click track on its own channel, and route it separately through your mixer to the headphones. Another way which would save one track would be to record over a click track using the rhythm section and route it separately. You can actually run 4 separate mono tracks by panning main and subs each left and right.

1. yes 2. album order, if chosen by album. It would depend on how you built the playlist.

You should be able to upload but it might need converted to a wave. It will be saved on the SD as whatever extension you name it. Assign it to a track. Then use any available track to lay vocals. Mic and master, export and done.

I plugged mine into an in-ear monitor system that works much like a small mixing board. One of the channels has a click, one channel has the bass drum, one has the bass, etc. By the time the sound got to my ears, it was about a quarter of a beat (or more) off with the rest of the band.

I use this with bass and it's great. The tone is all there (in fact, I'd say it's better than using a cable). You will not be disappointed.

Play it safe and send it back. What is the source of the music? Is it on all tracks by all artists? I don't have any problems with mine.

I use it. You can import loops in WAV format. Sometimes I generate loops on the looper and bring them into Sonar X2 where I put on good drum tracks. Hope this helps.

Not really... Just find a song with good bass and play with the setting until you get it dialed in. I found that it sounded pretty good with most of the settings "midway"

Mb stands for monitor bass. I have sl 210. Mb good to have on stage in loud band because your stage rig sound goes right by you. You should be ok with that cab used as monitor or part of your bass rigg. Enjoy

Yes, I plug my bass into it quite often. My bass can be switched between active and passive mode, and it works well both ways with a large difference in signal input between the modes. If your bass is like mine, turn the input volume all the way down before switching to active and then adjust the volume accordingly after switching to active mode on your bass.

I have been recording for years but - I was the guy saying can you give me another track for this or that. Never touched the buttons and my friend has a vast system so have been intimidated to start on my own. Can you create a mix and bump 3+ tracks down to 1 line then have extra tracks open to add more?
