As an instrument that is more-or-less destined to sit in a mix, we don't feel that the slight noise is much of an issue, and do to the percussive nature of an upright bass, tends to fade-away quickly. Boy did his fingers burn after those slides!ĭo to the nature of the recording environment, the samples contained a lot of noise, and had to be denoised, although some of the noise was left in so as not to affect the tonal qualities of the upright bass too much.

The bass was sampled over the course of a few 10 hour sessions, where the bass player played plucked notes, slap bass, and slides. During mixing, it was determined that the SM81's blended with the D112 gave the best overall tone. To produce this library, the bass was sampled through a close-miced stereo pair of Shure SM81's, an AKG D112, a Neumann Tlm 102 and a 'di' bridge pickup. The exact age of the bass is not known, but it had seen some action, and although a little beat-up, still sounded great! The bass itself was an inherited instrument from the musician's grandfather.
