JMM Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 When recording, is it best to mic up the bass (and guitar) amp(s) or just use the output on the amp direct to the recording device? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademan_98 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I do both to get a good balance. Di clean and mic the eq sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassoctopus Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Make sure they are in phase though. If you get less bottom end with both the signals on then they are out of phase. I find the bass POD to be an excellent device for recording and available on ebay for £50 ish. I use this, unless it's going to be a released recording when I mic and DI my amp. For demos the Bass POD is more than good enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bankai Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Record a DI from your guitar, rather than your amp. Then mix this with the signal from a microphone put to your amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
