The Right Sound 6 - Audio Recording Tutorial - The Double Bass

Alfred Capozzi

In the current video of The Right Sound we will talk about Double Bass, an instrument that in an increasingly incisive way has become part of all acoustic musical genres, without prejudice to a particular predilection for classical music and Jazz.

The study is always that of Pasquale Faggiano, which can be visited at the link www.recoastudios.com with high profile sound absorption that allows you to fully appreciate the different nuances that the two double bass players have tried to highlight during the shooting. Of Dario Deidda you already know a lot; the other musician, Beppe Mirra, also from Salerno, with an enviable classic curriculum, someone may have seen him in the Christmas Concert that the Orchestra of the Verdi Theater of Salerno held last December in the Chamber of Deputies.
Why two musicians of such different backgrounds? Precisely in order to appreciate an instrument that in the last period has been widely used in dozens and dozens of audio productions of any kind, such that even global software houses, such as the Spectrasonics with its Trilian, dedicated several sampling libraries to him.
I invite you to pay close attention to the different shots taken even outdoors, to emphasize what the Double bass in terms of sonority and ductility.

Good vision!

In this video we'll be talking about the Double Bass, an instrument that has become more and more part of any acoustic music genre, notwithstanding a particular affection for classical and jazz music.

Still at Pasquale Faggiano's studio, which can be visited at the link www.recoastudios.com, with an amazing quality of sound absorption in order to fully enjoy the several nuances the two players tried to highlight during their recordings. We do already know a lot about Dario Deidda; the other musician, Beppe Mirra, from Salerno as well, with an enviable classical curriculum, might have been spotted during the Christmas Concert that the Orchestra of the “Verdi” Theater in Salerno did the last December at the Chamber of Deputies.
Why choose two musicians with too different backgrounds? Indeed the reason lies in the possibility to enjoy an instrument which has been recently overused in dozens of audio productions for any music genre, so much that worldwide software houses, such as the Spectrasonics with his Trilian, dedicated a lot of sample libraries to it.
My suggestion to you is to pay high attention to the different recordings which have been done also outdoors, in order to underline what actually the Double Bass can offer you in terms of sound and adaptability.

Enjoy the video!
