Recording Bass Guitar

Recording bass guitar is fairly easy once you get the hang of it. Especially if you do it the way many engineers do through a high quality direct input box or direct box. These can come separately or in Recording Electric Bass, Home recording, tips, tricks, audio, combination with a high quality preamp. If you can afford it a tube driven preamp can really warm up the sound of a bass. You might want to add some compression also. About 3 to one is usually a good rule of thumb for bass. Once you jack in just set the recording level so there is no distortion and your off.

Recording Electric Bass, Home recording, tips, tricks, audio, For a more professional sound it is usually better if you have a decent bass amp to mic up the amp as well as or instead of recording to direct input. Get a condenser with a good low end range like the Sennheiser 421 or AKG D112. Place the mic about 1 to 3 feet back from the grill of the amp pointed at the speaker. If you want room ambience a second mic about 7 feet away will usually add more ambience while adding to the bottom end.
