Need help with Bass tracks

Just had a thought, why not take the di recording, run it through an amp and set up the sound you want (amp and mic) and record that to another track. Called re-amping.

Why not ? That's like asking why use a gas cooker when you have microwaves and takeaways.[/QUOTE said:
Yeah, to each their own I guess. I found the performance of Bass Rider (and Vocal Rider) to move much faster and more accurately than you could move your hand.

Make your EQ flatter than you expect it should be. Also, the difference between 80 hz, 100 hz, and 120 hz, is HUGE. they all resonate very differently. Try messing with those. They give their own unique rumbles.

Thumbs up to direct in. Also, use a series of gentle software limiters if you want a consistent track. compressors never quite did it for me on bass.
 
Hey thanks again everyone for the help. In the end it was mostly eq that fixed it. I also ran the track back into the Ampeg plugin to simulate a DI and that worked pretty well. I was able to take the same wav file and get a really tight string heavy sound and mix that in really low. It worked and it is off to master now. We'll see how they do with it.
