I recorded with two mics. One in front of dustcap and one on the edge of cone.The recorded sound was better than through interface. I ran the bass through a bass pedal. Good sound. Little tweek and I ll get what I am looking for.

Tomorrow I'll attempt recording my bass using microphones. I will try two methodes.

1.two mics
2.one mic and one line out from bass amp to inerface via hartke di box

Any idea on mic placements.

I don't use live but, it sounds like you have a high buffer setting.
Or, Live is using the Realtek drivers.
You shouldn't need to use the asio4all drivers. The Focusrite drivers should be up to the job.

Have you looked at these videos?
I think it's a nine video series. It should help you understand a bit more.
The guy is using Mac, but does reference PC options.
When choosing the input, just use the Focusrite option.

Cheers for the replies gents.I sorted tge issue eventually before reading the responses. I needed asio4all. It strarted working well for strange reasons. The you tube videos are good but not enough info fir windows. Suppose I need a di box or a mic to get the desired sound. Do you gents like your 2i2 and what Daw do you use? Thanks

Is focusrite as good as they say it is. I bought one last week. It's my first device for recording. It comes with ableton live 9 lite and plug ins. The latency is bad, I use Sony Vaio with Windows 7 intel core i3 laptop. Have both realtek and asio4all installed. Most tutorials use mac even the ableton tutorials. Any suggestions on latency?

Thanks for the reply. It`s still a struggle to use focusrite.

Is that a SH bass? lovely.What wattage is the gear?

Yep!

The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and 2i4 are very good quality 'budget' interfaces. I use a 2i4 myself, as it has the additional output sockets I need.

Dead easy to use. No latency (on my system) and the recording quality is good for the money.

There will always be better, more expensive options if you want to spend money. But for £100-£150 the Focusrite Scarlett products are great.

It's worth checking out the ASIO4ALL drivers if your interface's own aren't up to the job. http://www.asio4all.com/

I tried them with my Focusrite Forte and noticed lower latency. Not a huge amount, but even small amounts count in this situation.

Hello Can I connect my Fender rumble amp to Focusrite then Pc for a better sound. The focusrite ableton live 9 lite seems to be rubbish. Thanks

Thank you. I now upgraded the bass with spb4 with Fender pots. The volume pot doesn't seem to work in gradual increments. Any ideas?

You won't need to, unless you fancy upgrading the pots.
If you do, give Kiogon a shout. He makes up high quality kits, consisting of everything you need. It will drop right in and you won't even need to solder your new pups in, as there is a connector which will allow you to screw the cables in.

Who is Kiogon.

Yeah, it's A LOT heavier than I was expecting. I should have asked about weight.

I am jealous.

Getting them for SPB-4 sd pups. I presume I need tge first version for volume and tone

Bump

I am replacing the pups on my Matt Freeman bass with Seymour Duncan SPB-4 pups . I`ve been looking at CTS pots on Thomanm site for better quality pots. There are three different CTS 250 k pots. Confused which one to get. Can anyone please assist?

This bass feels and sounds like a beast. Most people say it's heavy with chunky neck. I went to a music store and tested one today,played IM riffs with ease. My fingers aren't long and had no issues. The only disadvantage is that I was unable to buy it as we are expecting a baby, and already own four guitars and two amps. The bass looks, feels and sounds great. Not a WH fan but the FC crest would not bother me at all.

I am thinking buying SPB-4 pups to replace tge manufacturers pups on my Matt Freeman squier bass. Purely as I want to be able to get closer to Steve Harris sound. I am aware that there are other aspects to sound like him. My question is, would I need to rewire tge electronics ir add anything as SPB-4 are different frequency. Many Thanks

Seymour Duncan SPB-4 pick ups

There are a few isolated bass tracks on YouTube. If you listen, you will here how sloppy he is! Poor. If they are him? Which I think they are!

You might think he is sloppy, but neither you or any other bassist out there have as much as passion, drive and determination to achieve what Steve Harris has . I've listened to different bass isolated tracks by other artists but I love Steve's style. He is unique and his isolated tracks, if it's him, sound raw and powerful.

I've had this bass for nearly three months and I am blown away with the sound especially when playing IM songs. It still has the strings it came with,but may change tgem and put Rotos on.

I have a jazz more versatile, but use only my PB. The sound is just what I like.
