Re: Bass home recording: DI Box vs Real Amp DI ?
Thanks for the tip about doubling the bass, I still want the SandsAmp for a more realistic bass amp tone (and a better bas would help too ) but I just did a small practice recording and did the doubling of the bass and it really made it sound a bit better, more volume yes but more "body" too. I also did this with the "virtua!l kick drum and I like it better. I know mixing is a long process of trial and error but these little simple tips really go a long way.
Edit: This is what I did to "twak" the double track, if I think the volume was too loud in the mix by default then I just reduced the volume of one of the tracks, it worked for me but I don't know it works for others. This made sense considering both the original and doubled track were centered. I guess tracks in L or R may need an equivalent attenuation in the mix.
Other than this, is there a home recording forum you may recommend?
