Recording

(Firstly, move this if it’s interesting he wrong category - I couldn’t figure out what was right).

I’ve been asked to record some backing basslines and share them as MP3s with some band mates. 
 

I’ve got some super gear but no idea what I need to do this. I’ve got a nice MacBook with GarageBand and an iPad Pro, so guessing either of these would be fine. 
 

I’ll be recording an electric upright bass through a Fishman preamp, or 60s jazz which has quite low output pickups.
 

Budget wise I don’t want to spend huge amounts. It’s a bit of fun during lockdown.

Links to things I can buy is best.

This will be fine - its all you need and half the price of most of the competition

Perfect, that looks like it should do the business.

Bought and paid for!

Looks like a version of the FocusRite Scarlett. Let us know how you get on with it - I really like my Scarlett, but a cheap version would be handy to recommend to bandmates...

Will do! I’m very much a beginner at recording so trial and error I guess.

That’s a great price for a starter interface and perfectly adequate for recording basic demos with your mates.

I've got one - its fine, has a midas preamp on the XLR and the direct monitor switch is good. Perfectly useable.
