Hi mallcore pop,
Look at my last post; it'll explain a little more about how to get the tightest, most focused sounding combined mic'ed/D.I. bass tracks.
Look, I know the difference between phase and polarity.
I took issue with the fact that you automatically dismissed micing the amp (you started the post with "don't mic the cabinet", fer cryin' out loud).
It's fine if you don't like micing amps, just don't limit newbs' options with those kinds of suggestions.
Not micing an amp, because you have to align the di later, without considering what sounds best, suggests laziness.
That's why I said you should know better than that. You should.
Duh, you're gonna have to align the tracks. How hard is that? Again, duh.
Sometimes you just need the bass to move some air. I know I do. In fact, I find that leaving out the di (if I can help it) makes kick/bass mixing a lot easier. The cab can add so much. . .
However, I'm not going to begin posts by saying, "don't bother running a di. . ."
You concluded your posts to myself and fenix by saying, "hey, if you're happy with the sound, keep doing it" and "or, keep doing what you appear to be doing". I don't know what you think I'm doing to bass tracks, but I must be doing something wrong for you to give me that dismissive, "Okay bro, whatever you say" attitude. I don't mind it, but others might.

Don't mind me, I'm just a bunny. A harmless, sugar-dipped, Max Martin- produced bunny.
