Take your music to the next level with our hand-picked team of in-house professionals
Bringing in a session bassist, whether specializing in electric or double bass, can significantly enhance your music across various genres and styles. While the electric bass offers a punchier, defined sound ideal for contemporary productions, the double bass provides deep, resonant tones commonly found in classical and jazz compositions. With their expertise and versatility, session bassists bring depth, groove, and cohesion to your tracks, adding melodic flourishes and solid foundations that elevate the overall sound. Whether you're producing rock, funk, jazz, pop, classical or electronic, a skilled bassist can tailor their performance to suit your specific musical vision, making them invaluable collaborators in any music project.
Musiversal's session bassists offer 5 main advantages:
Authenticity: Real bass recordings lay the foundations of your song with warmth, depth, and character that are difficult to replicate authentically with virtual instruments. Our bassists deliver authentic performances that elevate your tracks, whether it's the punchy basslines of electric bass or the rich timbre of double bass.
Professionalism: Our bassists are seasoned professionals with extensive experience in studio recording and live performance. They bring a wealth of musical knowledge and technical skill to every session, with impressive recording studios and setups to boot, ensuring that your recordings meet the highest standards of quality.
Convenience: With Musiversal's remote recording sessions, you can collaborate with bassists from anywhere in the world, eliminating the need for complex setups or additional equipment. Our platform provides a convenient and efficient way to access top-tier bass talent without leaving the comfort of your home or studio.
Efficiency: Our streamlined booking and recording process ensures quick turnaround times without compromising on quality. If you’re working on a tight deadline, our bassists deliver high-quality recordings over livestream with speed and precision; and you can feedback in realtime to get exactly the takes you want and need.
Value: Accessing top-tier bass talent has never been more affordable. Musiversal's subscription model offers unlimited access to session musicians at a fixed monthly rate, providing exceptional value and flexibility for your music production needs.
The cost of hiring session bassists can vary depending on factors such as experience, expertise, and project requirements. In traditional studio settings, rates can range from $100 to $300 per hour or more, with additional fees for studio rental and production services. However, with Musiversal's subscription model, you gain unlimited access to talented bassists at a fixed monthly rate, providing exceptional value and flexibility for your music production needs.

Following your remote bass recording session, you'll receive high-quality audio files containing all recorded takes, as well as individual stem files captured from each microphone and DI used in the session.

To ensure a successful remote bass session, it's helpful to prepare your project materials in advance. Start by providing information about your song, including the title, genre, and tempo. If you have a demo or backing track, be sure to share it with the bassist, as it will serve as a reference during the recording process. Additionally, consider providing any written instructions or musical notation that may help convey your creative vision. With clear communication and thorough preparation, you can maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of your remote bass recording session.
