    Go-to soundcheck riff is usually just chugs first so FOH can manage that, but then I''ll fuck around. If I know a riff that is either from one of my friends bands that's there I'll play that or something that might go over well with anyone watching.

    I just downloaded the free update! I'm usually not one for super distorted bass tones, even though I tune my Dingwall NG3 to drop E in my Djent band FloodGate, but this actually sounds pretty cool. When we play live, my bass sound check song is always Low by Wage War. I'm pretty sure it's either in drop F# or drop F originally but it still sounds killer. I also use NDSP Parallax live! (And my guitarists use the Fortin Namesless one!)

    Are you just running this into Parallax (and the pre-Parallax processing) with your DI? I've got my bass running through a Tech21 Sans Amp RBI, targeting that Dustin Davidson tone, and putting Parallax after it just seemed to add distortion on top of distortion in a bad way. Didn't try sending a DI signal to it, though. Edit: oop! Turns out I can output both a processed and DI signal from the SansAmp. Time for some experimentation!

  • @jimmygeorgizas9621

    Parallax is a distortion/amp sim plugin on its own, the way you're doing it is like running a cab sim through an actual physical cab, it just doubles down on the filtering and everything. Try running a DI through it and I promise you wont be disappointed. If you want to add EQ and stuff then probably do it after the parallax so that you actually edit the affected signal (unless your bass has some annoying frequencies in which case you might wanna cut them out like Nick did here). Now if you want to capture your physical rig, since you're using a sansamp rbi just plug that into your audio interface and record that with no extra amp sim after it, you should be gtg.

    It's funny how you started with a bass but it still seemed like a decently technical riff. You'd think starting with bass would make it more tempting to track a simpler riff. Sounds good.
