normally most newbie recorders have a tough time getting a drum sound that they like...
i can easily get a good drum sound...
but i can *not* get a good bass sound. I have an aardvark q10..
i've tried miking the peavy cabinet...going direct out of the peavys preamp out, going direct into the aardvark with the hi-z input...
all of it sucks.
the hiz input is too clean and wimpy..
the preamp out is pretty nasty...
all of the miking turns out sounding really shitty and distorted...plus the room is bad for bass so there is tons of ratteling and such recorded.
I am looking for just a good rock and roll bass sound like REM or U2 or something.
I have heard before that Art Tube MP was good....but, then I heard from others that it was a really cheap unit and broke easily and stuff.
I'd like to stay under 200 dollars...what kind of options do I have?
The bass is a Fender American P-Bass so that isn't the problem...playing wise...our bassist is alright....certainly better than the sound I am translating for him. I've asked this question before...but, still no closer to answering it...and, I am looking online and can't find any good solutions. please help....or, any tips in general about EQ'ing bass tracks and stuff....this one is just killing me.
