I recorded this track as a play-along practice piece, purely for critique by my fellow members on scottsbasslessons.com It is not intended for publication, or wider circulation. It is not for profit.

I chose to play along with Bruno Mars’ recording of “Talking To The Moon”, originally released on his (2010) Album, “Doo-Wops and Hooligans”.

It was co-written by Bruno Mars, together with Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, Albert Winkler and Jeff Bhasker. It describes feelings of loneliness, loss and hope.

Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine, produced the track, under their pseudonym, “The Smeezingtons”. All the instruments on the original recording were played by Bruno Mars and Ari Levine.

I played along with a Bass line of my own creation on this occasion.

I chose to play along on my (2006) Sadowsky Metro MS5 five string fretted Bass. I have fitted it with Elixir 45-130 ‘Nanoweb’, coated, round wound, Stainless Steel strings.

I played this song in ‘Active’ mode via its onboard Sadowsky 9v preamp. I set the onboard 2 band Tone Controls at 50%. The Pan between the Neck and Bridge Pickups was also set half-way to balance them equally.

I routed it via my Bergantino B|AMP, which I used as an inline preamp, I set the tone controls on my Bergantino B|AMP flat.

This was, yet again, a one shot ‘take’. I am pleased with the tone and quality of the sound. That was what I wanted to achieve. The only sound effect is driven by my fingers.

I sent the signal from my Bergantino B|AMP direct through an XLR cable, to my Focusrite Clarett 4 Pre USB Audio Interface, which is connected to my Intel i7 powered, Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64 bit PC. The Audio track was recorded direct on Ableton Live 10 Lite recording software.

The Video was contemporaneously captured, via my Canon EOS M50 mirrorless camera, initially to an internal memory card, from which I subsequently downloaded it to my PC.

From there, it was It was imported direct to Corel Pinnacle Studio Video Software, version 21.5. The Audio track was subsequently added and synchronised with the video footage.

Although this camera can record HD video files up to 4k resolution, the files become far too large and unwieldy for general upload use, so I uploaded the completed composite video as a SD MPEG-4 format file, to save delay when replayed over the Internet.

Enjoy ;o)
