Burns-bass Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 (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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardH Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burns-bass Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Will do! I’m very much a beginner at recording so trial and error I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealting Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 That’s a great price for a starter interface and perfectly adequate for recording basic demos with your mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I've got one - its fine, has a midas preamp on the XLR and the direct monitor switch is good. Perfectly useable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sibling UMC204HD has a stereo/mono switch for direct monitoring, so a mono input comes through in both channels. With the UMC22, if your bass is in input 1 and you monitor directly, does the bass only come out of the left channel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
