Yeah don't just use a sm57, if you do use it grab a DI signal as well as you'll be lacking in the low end with just a 57. Electro voice re-20 is the best I've heard a bass amp recorded, else Heil PR-40 so see if he's got one of them knocking around (unlikely if he's opting for a 57) Also remember it's your bass sound not the producers, I say this because it sounds you're recording your band and not sessioning. He might know best, but then again he might just be a guy who bought some software and is now an expert, I leave it up to you to make that assessment of him.

Also not sure if you saw on TB, when it's time on the b100r, hit me up

[quote name='umcoo' timestamp='1394360199' post='2390559'] Haha, cheers Ste. Did consider a Volto, and might end up going that way eventually. I'm not a fan of wires all over the place. Never played the original SFT, but really digging this 2nd version. Running it at 18v too. Fully spent up now for a while so things will have to wait! [/quote] Yeah mines at 18v too can't tell too much difference just that it is still the best OD/dirty boost pedal ever

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1394353733' post='2390482'] You must have a few phase issues with the board if you turn some FX on and off and are blending with the clean DI. I know the SFT and 442 invert the phase for sure. It can be fixed in the mix as long as the engineer knows about it! [/quote] Didn't use the 442 (also didn't know it inverted phase), SFT stayed one (& I did know about the phase issue) informed the producer and we were all good to go. Signal chain was Overwater into JDI thru I to Bassbone (no eq) fx loop into SFT and back to bassbone where the tuner out (pre fx loop) went out to the green muff into behringer GDI. Sounded great just need to replace the behringer with the tech 21 GT-2

Studio today 3 channels 1 awesome bass sound

And a micro tuner so you fit more pedals, and a PT Pro next to it with all the cool stuff on

Volto like all the cool kids I approve of the above board but it needs an SFT mk1

That's how I built by big boards tone factor would charge $20 to ship to the uk and mark as a gift. Also helped when the exchange rate was between 1.75 and 2 To the £

Yeah I don't think the device has issues it's just not friend proof, oh well will contact L6 tomorrow and see what they can do

Lent my sonic port to a friend for the night and now appears to not be working. Awesome

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1394030271' post='2387108'] Well for me I'd make my patches and it'll be a set and forget job. My only issue that I could see is doing the drive I want, or getting the sort clean under dirt sound I get with the pedals. [/quote] Audiobus 2 (out soon) will do parallel processing and there for blended sounds, there are all sorts of tweaks you can do if you need a specific sound.

[quote name='NoirBass' timestamp='1393922236' post='2385744'] I'm really impressed using it with my iPad 2 and Jamup. Its a massive step up from the IRig I had been using. I did also try it with my an octave and a filter in front - both worked very well, same as plugging into an amp [/quote] Same as plugging into a solid state amp

Try closing all other apps abnd restarting the ipad to free up any memory. Make sure the amp is outputting to speaker not headphones and choose the lowest latency setting you can. Hope that helps

Nothing sounds like the fz-2 Search long and hard for one

Part 4 now up http://www.tayste.co.uk/2014/03/03/the-ios-bassist-pt4-my-setup/

Less than this months pedal budget really

£100 tops with £70 of that being the interface

Kemper modelling amp

Anything that uses the 3.5mm headphone input on your iOS device is much much lower quality than anything that uses the dock adaptor and currently the Line 6 uses the dock adaptor for all inputs and outputs so it's one of the best available at the moment. Unless of course you have the money for an Apogee Duet (not the Jam). Hope this helps

Interesting

The main issue here is why are you turning off the 250 in the first place? Leave it on and sound better for it

[quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1393582359' post='2382140'] It's been a great read so far Ste, keep it coming. Out of interest, have you ever tried pedals into iPad? Bass > pedals > sonic port > iPad app ? Do they play nice or just mess it all up? [/quote] I've not, I'm going to try this soon though. Obviously boosts won't work well, unless of course you're leaving yourself loads of headroom, again this is something you Solid State guys will be more use to. I'm going to be doing some comparison clips of fuzz's into the ipad both virtual and real.

Probably

Yeah Android has been fundamentally flawed with audio due to a latency in it's architecture. I believe these are solved now but it's now 3 years behind the curve.
