Established Los Angeles Studio Bass player, Derek Frank, has officially launched the website “BassTracksOnline.com”. Frank created BassTracksOnline.com to provide a way for budget-conscious artists, songwriters, producers, composers, engineers, and any other musicians (professional or hobbyist) to find a studio bass player online, and obtain custom bass tracks for their songs, played by a professional Los Angeles session bass player. Tracks are swapped back and forth between Frank and his clients via the internet; this allows musicians all over the world (who otherwise might not have access to a professional session bass player) to collaborate with him, regardless of their location. No matter where on the planet the client may live, he is now able to hire and work with a studio bass player online.

            The concept of “online collaboration” has been growing in popularity recently, since home studio recording has become rather easy and affordable for anyone with a computer. Many of today’s records are also being completed by session musicians recording their tracks in home studios, then sending their tracks back to the producer via the internet. With this growing trend in home recording/online delivery, many websites have popped up as full-service online recording studios, complete with an extensive database of talent that clients can choose from (Derek Frank is also included in some of these professional talent databases). While these sites offer an array of professional music services, many tend be priced beyond the typical consumer’s budget. And it has become quite common to find session drummers online, but not quite as easy to find a pro studio bass player online. BassTracksOnline.com is run solely by Frank, with no “middlemen” or other fees charged, aside from Frank’s per-track session fee. This results in more affordable, yet no less professional, custom bass tracks for any client’s music projects.

            Derek Frank has been active as a professional bass player in Los Angeles for the past 11 years. He splits his time almost equally between touring and working in-town on various live and recording projects.  Although he spends quite a bit of time on the road, he always travels with a mobile recording rig, allowing him to record his custom bass tracks virtually anytime, anywhere. Described as a “versatile monster” by some of his musical colleagues, he is fluent and proficient in all styles of music, and has a vast array of different instruments, amplifiers, and effects that can be used when recording his bass tracks. For example: various fretted, fretless, solid-body, and hollow-body 4 and 5-string basses, LOTS of pedals, an array of preamps, DI boxes, and plug-ins, a synth bass rig, etcetera. This insures that he can satisfy all of his clients’ bass needs, regardless of the musical style or sound that that particular client desires. If you are searching for a professional studio bass player online, look no further… BassTracksOnline.com has got you covered.

       Although Derek spends a good portion of his musical existence working with musicians in LA as a studio bass player, online is where he collaborates with people in other cities, states, and countries.
