Hey so I got a bass tonight (first time I've ever played a bass, and I bought it). It's a Schecter Stiletto C-4 and I like it. However, when I recorded some bass tracks, I notice it picking up a lot of buzzing from the strings. It also picked up a lot of playing noise.
Is this normal since I have no idea about basses? Perhaps it's the way I'm recording it.
It's an active bass. What I did was plugged it into the aux jack on my electric guitar amp (is this bad?..) and recorded it direct like that. I assume that's the problem.
Instead of recording through the amp, should I just go direct, not amp or anything? I am thinking about getting one of those DI boxes but I'm going to wait and make sure I 100% need one.
