I see time after time when it comes to Micing a bass drum, some choose between a decent condenser or a high pressure (one that comes to mind is the AKG D112) dynamic mic. Some others are the Shure beta series. I know when eq is applied, it's usually curved or set around or about 100Hz. What's mostly used to get that deep thump on most recordings?

What's the rule of thumb when it comes to getting a "good" setting on your EQ for bass guitar and drums? :w:

I know that this topic has to some degree been previously discussed and I have searched (and read) previous responses. Please allow me aks this question anyway as it might (?) have a slightly different angle.

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.

Hi All,

Hi,

How do you go about tightening up keyboard bass or sampled bass guitar? How do you get the mushiness out, and put some punch into it?
