Hi Sherry,
Thanks for the tips!! I have been looking for a piece I did a while back that used two base lines in unison with different base sounds. One was the slap base and it is very possible the other could have been fingered bass. I am going try a couple different ways to get the exact sound I want. I lost a lot of those files when my computer went kaput, and I'm hoping I still have that file with the 2 base lines. It was a really funky sound. I meant to change the base line behind the other instrument solos, but I forgot to do it before I uploaded it. At one point, I neglected to select the vibes for the vibes solo and it played as a trumpet. I liked that, though. We seem to do a number of things the same way. I also use your idea of recording the meter and then changing the notes. I don't use one note, though, I try to get it as close as possible first to what is going on in my head. Thanks again for the help. You are the bass expert, that's for sure!
