The clean track/dorty track is a standard and as others have said a clean DI track can alway be though if as a ‘safety track’ if things don’t work out/as a clean blend to ensure a strong low end without getting too muddy etc. lots of producers and artists like that clean solid low with the dirt being added to the higher frequencies doing that x-over type thing. The Darkglass X pedals use that principle clean compressed lows worh face melting dirty mids.
See what features your daw has and if you can pull up an eq pelf the track play about with it, even on a clean bass, and hear what the main frequencies are doing in terms of punch, mud, woolly, bright, nasal, zing, air and all these other ‘eq’ descriptions. It’ll stand you in good stead for gigging and general sound management- say you’re gifs a doom and you get one of those eq anomalies you’re likey gonna be in a better position to problem solve and get a sound you like.
It’s time well spent. “Produce like a Pro” on YouTube has some good videos on recording as do a heap of others.
There’s a a school of thought about putting the track in as complete as possible or the old “fixing it in the box” but it’s good to try both options if only to figure out which option is better for you. It’s good to make our own mistakes even if we’re told differently sometimes.
Good luck and stick with it!
