how to recording a bass thru my AP-2496

[sebastiano]

hi everybody!
if it´s possible and somebody wanna tell me...
... what I need to take a nice bassguitar sound recording from my AP-2496.
everything. I mean: from AP-2496 to my fender American Deluxe precision 5.

what´s up if I´ll use a pre mic like focusrite red or avalon thru my AP2496 (direct) it could be a not good idea?

some recomendation accept.
change my card?
well... wherever. I´m try to get a nice bass sound. but is that possible with a cheaper rig.
thanks a lot.

Welllllll... you certainly dont need to change your card...

Bass is a mono instrument, just use a left or right in... get an RCA to 1/4" converter, and then try any of the numerous DirectIn boxes, or a line out from your amp perhaps...

I hear alot of people liking DI bass for some reason...

Just have a play around with it, I dont see why you wouldnt get a nice bass sound from your guitar

I use an Aguilar Bass pre-amp, to my mixer, to my soundcard for recording bass, it sounds pretty nice.

ok

THANX a lot for your time guys!
ok, I have no idea about sound recording so i´ll try rec thru ap2496 line and maybe get a sansamp. or A MDP3.
all is about time, I need to stay for a while close to my rig.
thanks, i´ll be trying.
