Milesinho Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I've started using GarageBand to record stuff. The guitar goes directly into the Mac via an Apogee Jam and all the preset effects and pedals sound great. I want to add baselines as well but I just can't get any sort of remotely decent sound out of the bass guitar no matter what effects I apply. Has anyone got any advice? Do I need to go through an amp (which I'm reluctant to do as I don't have much space to spare) or is there a setting that I'm missing. I'm not looking for any particularly specific tone or anything like that. I just need a decent generic rock bass sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntLockyer Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Don't record it as a guitar. Select real instrument and then select bass. there are a couple of DI presets. One of those will sound great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 You could purchase an interface, which would give you a lot more variety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
