School Days Bass Cover - Levin Allen

Описание: This is my rendition of Stanley Clarke's School Day – one of the things that I admire about Stanley is that even though his solos can be extremely complex, each note is always very distinct and clear, regardless of the speed. This is as close to a note for note rendition that I have time to submit (I learned the song a good while ago and took a couple of days to brush up on it. I also tried to video close enough that you can see what notes I am playing in case this is a song you are interested in learning (it may make it even easier as I have a habit of playing with just 3 fingers on my left hand whenever possible – the result of a broken pinky when I first started learning the bass in my youth) – Enjoy.

Song: School Days
Artist: Stanley Clarke

Also, I am still using a very straightforward setup for recording – it only involves the following items:

Ibanez SR500E-BM Bass Guitar: purchased from Pineville Music

Great Customer Service!


A FocusRite 2i2 Scarlet: https://focusrite.com/en/usb-audio-in...
ScreenFlow 10 for Mac: https://www.telestream.net/screenflow/
Apple iMac: https://www.apple.com/imac/
OneOdio Wired Headphones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...

I am not running my bass through a Bass amp – it is directly connected to one input of the FocusRite 2i2. The FocusRite is then connected to my Mac via USB. The Bass track is mixed with the song track in ScreenFLow 10, and my headphones are connected to the headphone port of the FocusRite for monitoring recording and playback. That’s it.

On videos using transitions and title pages, I use Camtasia to add those elements to the output mp4 file from ScreenFlow.
