I prefer going direct into my pro tools interface and making my adjustments after the recording. This way I can use plugins to make it sound any way I want. Amplitube or any of the waves plugins work well. By recording it flat, it eliminates any mistakes I may have made in the mixing or tone frequency setup before my recording. It's harder to go back and take things away that have already been printed to your recording file than it is to add to it if it was recorded flat to begin with.

i'm no pro, but i like my rickenbacker and a solo 610 and just my plug in compressors. i get good results. i cant afford a path like yours. why the extra strings? does anybody like those 5 or 6 string sounds for real?

The sound of the actual bass is premier. I love old Fenders and also Active Alembic series 1's, all that record great. I have also used Ibanez basses that record great as well. A crappy bass is exactly that. As far as outboard I prefer less is more and keep thinging things simple. Writer has four circuits stacked, bass internals, supre,1073, and finally compressor. Seems like a can of worms. Bass can also really depend on the players abilities, style of music,avail. equipment,mixers ears. Bottom Line, Whatever works...note* My Fav Rockin sound has always been a jazz thru a miked SVT. GGGGGGRRRRRRRROOOOOOWWWWWWLLLLLLL!

Active electronics in basses increase the frequency & dynamic range but one must use a "high quality" electronics and pickups in the bass. One of the flaws of cheap electronics and pickups like in the Ibanes is that the dynamic range distorts the electronics. Another flaw is that the EQ will sound harsh. Active electronics will also reduce noise that is picked up by the pickups

Why spend time making an active bass sound like a passive bass? Just use a passive!

Good technical comments and, if you go to a commercial studio, the engineers will usually want a DI signal recorded.

Good points about using an active bass. I'd like to know what's in the rack directly behind him.

@Tasman - no one is stopping you using a mic. The guy is saying that you can cut out one of the things that *might* make your recording bad - if you want.

I thought the comment about not using microphones crass. OK, so you lose the problems of microphones, but then you sound like anyone else.

Review...

In this second video in the series entitled, “How to record Bass Guitar in your Home Studio”, Mykie C goes over the best way to setup your own studio in order to get the most out of recording your bass guitar. The video’s content starts at the 00:15 mark after a short intro music and title series. The video itself is aimed primarily at those creating their own home studio and discusses a lot of the pros and cons of the choices that we all make when assembling our studio. The video is put together well and is direct and to the point.

Mykie C doesn’t waste much time with trivial things and dives right into the content as he goes step by step on what choices you will make when setting up your own home studio. He will discuss the advantages of active over passive bass, different types of DI boxes, and what sort of pre-amp you can pick up. For each of these different pieces of equipment he will go over several cheap options that are available for those building their studio on a budget. He takes the time to explain the values of compression and other details, but at the same time is open minded in that he brings up points other people have made to get the audience to think and make a decision for themselves on subjects that have gray areas or are a more personal preference.

Overall, the video is very good and well edited. The various pictures that are inserted through the presentation help the viewer get an idea of exactly what item he is talking about. He touches on all the important topics and things to consider. This video will work as the perfect springboard to putting your home studio together. You will be able to walk away from this video knowing how you should setup your studio for recording, as well as what pieces to research to know exactly which one will work best for you.

Mykie C’s video is another great piece in the series and will help the novice just starting out, as well as bring up interesting topics for those looking to improve their recording studio. The one thing he does stress in the videos that it is really the equipment that has the greatest impact, not things like microphone placement. If you pick up better equipment and configure it correctly, the sound you receive will be a lot better.
