About Spectre Sound Studios:
I'm Glenn Fricker, engineer here at Spectre Sound Studios. I love making records, and after doing it for sixteen years, I want to pass on what I've learned. On my channel you can find tutorials on how to record guitar, bass, real drums and vocals. There's reviews and demos of tube amps, amp sims, drums, mics, preamps, outboard gear, Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, and plugin effects.
We've covered Moon on the Water, played Bias FX, given you the absolute best in Stupid Musician Texts, ranted & raved about bass guitar, and this channel is where The Eagle has Landed.
Everything you've wanted to learn about recording Hard Rock & Heavy Metal can be found right here on this channel!
I also respond to your comments & questions: The best make it into the SMG Viewer's Comments series of videos. Loads of fun, lots of laughs.
Thanks for checking out my channel & please subscribe!

Protip: this is how you get new song ideas. Record your bass player playing the original song for the first time. He will play it so badly, that it will be a totally different tune that comes out. Use that idea as a basis for your next song. Also works well if you ask him to try a cover song. Bonus points because what you get can't possibly count as copyright infringement, because it's nowhere near accurate.

Ok so this is my perspective as both a Bass player and as a long time computer nerd. This software suffers from an age old problem for any digitised version of an instrument other than synthesizers in that it sounds like it's being played at the bottom of a 44 gallon drum. It ends up having a tinny unnatural ring to the note especially at the attack end of the note and is especially noticeable when being played in fast succession. Fast played notes also show a failure on the tail end of a note in that there is an unnatural chop off rather than an ever so slightly imperfect muting of the string. No matter how good your muting technique is the string still has some natural vibration at the initial mute point. This is very similar to the problem faced by companies that produce Cymbal samples. For this to sound natural it has to be drowned in a mix so that the attack and overall waveform is not under direct scrutiny. Now as an authoring tool that's all well and good but as far as ending a player, no just as Superior Drummer and electronic kits are not great replacements for a good Drummer on a proper acoustic kit this has some flaws that make it still just a better version of older samples. Not a bad job overall but it is my hope that this doesn't end up being the next edrum/autotune degradation of music being produced for release.
Damn. Now I’m unemployed.

Ho do I get my cables from one room to the ohter without getting too much sound into the control-room? We will do a little break-through but I am afraid I will get too much sound through that hole in the end. We will use a 24-channel Presonus rack-interface for the recordings so we will only have a small network cable for this one. But I would also like to be able to play guitar in the control room while turning up the tube-amp in the recording room. What would be the best solution and how do you do that?

Of course if I can play it or have the capacity to hire someone to play the required part, I will do it, but I don't find it to be paramount at my level, especially in terms of time and budget, and I'm definitely not gonna wait until I'm proficient at all the required instruments before releasing music, fuck that.

Mate... who’s gunna lose at smash bros without the the bass player?
After 30+ years of playing/gigging on guitar I switched to bass full time last year. I did play bass full time for a few years in the 90s in a jazz group of all things and quite enjoyed the experience. Had wanted to pick it up again but was always booked solid with gigs playing guitar. I've found over the years that no matter how much time and effort you put into your guitar playing. If the bass and drum are not on top things your band will sound bad. No matter what style. As I get older I find joy in making others sound good. Fixing problems they didn't even know they had! A bass player would should be an anchor. The person who never forgets the chord changes and song structure. Its easy to recover on guitar after flubbing a bit live. But when the bass screws up the entire band can go down in flames fast. One should never pick up a bass thinking its easier than guitar. p.s. I totally agree with Glenn on players who wont learn even the fundamentals of music. It can makes ones head hurt.

Cakewalk's Session Instrument Bass Guitar is free now as well (I believe). Unless you're Girls Against Boys where your band has 2 bass players and one functions as a lead, I've found it to function just fine.
Not that it matters really, but it's definitely based on a P-bass, but I reckon more specifically it's Mark Hoppus's signature model; the sea foam green with the volume pot and no tone pot is a huge giveaway, and the name of the plugin itself would indicate that.

I've got their Eurobass II and it kicks ass
SubMission Audio's Eurobass II plugin is also amazing. Imo, it sounds so much better than Loki Bass, as well.
Honestly for metal tones I prefer the Loki bass plugin. It also has a key switch function and goes all the way down to an octave below drop C but everything below Drop F is a pitch bending effect muddying up the tone, so I wouldn't recommend it below Dropped 8 string standard because the half step drop for the E doesn't color the tone as much as it being shifted farther.
it sounds like a bass being played with drum sticks.

That bass sounds pretty damn good. I probably would never use it, but the tone is banging.
I want to see a VC episode just based on the comments to this video. It may be a much longer video than normal.
Guys I might sound like a idiot here, but is there anyway I can get my actual bass to sound like the one in the Virtual bass program? I am in love with that sound ,but I can't figure out how to dial it in on my setup.
Punk rock had some amazing bass players who were better musicians than everybody else in the band. Bruce Foxton, Dee Dee Ramone(he also wrote most of the Ramone's best songs), Klaus Flouride of the Dead Kennedys , Joe Lasurdo of Life Sentence, etc. As a bass player, I find Punk Bass sounds really good, and would work really well if you can't find a bass player. I think Adam Neely can probably do anything this plug in could do...only better. Love the vids, Glen, keep them coming!!
You'll have to do a compare and contrast review when EZBass comes out later this year.
Any chance we can get a shootout between this and the Eurobass II plug in?
