Well, let's hear it.
I'm currently working on mixing my first real album. I've "mixed" personal projects before when I was in my teens, but it was rarely more than just moving around the faders.
The reason I ask this question is because I often wonder if a bass part does not need overdrive, distortion or something like that from a modeler, and is intended to be clean and clear, what would be the benefit of using an amp modeler over recording bass thru a DI with just some compression and eq? Is it just another cook in the kitchen? what are the benefits from a modeler? I find myself inserting a modeler because I feel like it's supposed to be done, but I don't know why.
