I've got the XM radio and I've become a bit bored with the 60s, 70s and 80s, so I've been flicking around and landed on a couple of the jazz stations.

I have no plans to record a jazz band anytime soon, but I'm curious about how they are recorded, specifically the bass, acoustic or upright bass.

Hello all, another Newbie here.

Here is the deal, I have slowly and steadily realized after reading for many hours here that my purchase of the Behringer 2222FX may not have been a wise choice. However, that is what we have and we will make a go of it until we can afford better.

I can't play loud music outside where I live and I usually hang out in my Garage which is detached from the house. Soundproofing is not an option because of the way the Garage is built and it is a small 1-car garage [L16'xW10'x8'].

After 35 years playing electric bass I got my first (lefty) upright bass a year ago. Still a long way from mastering the beast, but I've done a few recordings recently. Playing jazz and folk. All piz. (I worked on arco for a few months, started receiving death threats from the family.) Anyway, I'd appreciate any recording tips.

Anyone ever record one of these basses?

and for the basses:

I find that my recorded bass parts end up needing extensive EQ to just sound "OK". The issue is always boomy bass / mud combined with a lack of clarity. The instrument is a Carvin LB76 six string bass with essentially a Jazz bass pickup arrangement. It has an active preamp/EQ but I generally bypass it because its a little noisy. I am recording direct using a Brick for a DI.

Hello, all. Long time, no post. Long time, no need.

However, I finally have 'cracked' into the industry and am co-producing a band. However, I'm having trouble with one significant thing.

This will be my first pro level channel strip. I'm looking for a versatile channel strip for vocals, electric guitar, bass, and acoustic guitar. I'm going to try out the UA LA-610. Here's my current signal path..

vox/acoustic:
AT 4033 -> (channel strip) -> MOTU 828MkII -> Logic

electric guitar and bass:
(channel strip) -> MOTU 828MkII -> Logic

Hey,

Hey,

Any recommended model of Yamaha 5 String Bass Guitar?

Besides, any other reasonable price + 5 string = recording purpose?
