So it seems that the best way to record bass guitar is by miking your cab AND recording direct simultaneously, thus giving you more options to manipulate these two separate channels during mixing. Now that I have my bass tracks recorded, does anyone have some tips as to how I should process these two similar but different tracks? If I had to guess, I would assume that it would probably be smartest to let the miked track take most of the low end, while using the direct track for more of the "punchiness" of the bass. Is there anything I should watch out for regarding phasing between these two tracks? What about compression? Should they be compressed the same? Differently? I know a lot of people will say, "Do what sounds good", but I am just looking to see if there is any general consensus or tips out there. Thanks for the help, and sorry if this was specifically covered elsewhere.
P.S. Anyone know why I have these red dots for my "reputation"? I didn't think I did anything wrong...
