I am starting to research my options for good bass chanels (mic preamp, di and a mic for acoustic bass). I will be recording both electric bass (di channel) and acoustic bass (di channel and mic channel). I also need to pick up a good mic for recording acoustic bass. The music I am recording is mainly jazz.

I desperately need this one! Anyone wants to sell it (i know it's a silly question but hey, you never know! :) ? Let me know, please!

Hi!
I would like to know the main advantages and disadvantages of each design. I have heard the old popular legends that closed cabinets need much more power and that rear ports help eliminate standing waves.

I know all this might be BS. So nothing better than have the right Pro guy explain us a little bit of this.

How often (often as in the meta-world of "mixing music in general, as a whole") is the bassline ducked behind the kick?

I would imagine that no matter the sound/genre/style it happens more often than not to control the low freqs without losing punch.

Any information on what situations really call for it are appreciated.

What I am finding is that almost always I have to roll off all bass below 150-250hz on bass and sometimes bass drum tracks. Even the DI tracks.

Hi All,

Ah folks, a long long time ago when I was endeavouring to do what I could in my own humble way to help RO continue to be a "kick-arse" forum I was the Moderator of the now apparently defunct Failight Forum.

I am looking for something to record bass directly into my daw and also use live, preferrabley tube. I don't need a lot of bells and whistles, mostly just a preamp and compression type piece. I've already tried the Pod Pro for bass and didn't like it. I want something simple but of high quality. My budget is $1000. I've been considering several options which include:
