ped Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 Thanks yeah I did wonder about a multi fx unit, that's what I do myself and whilst I won't recommend he spends money on a Roland VB99, I think a Stomp or similar would be great - I think recording and using the computer might be last on the list of requirements after being able to hear the bass and play along with things. So - cheapest multi Fx with audio interface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually supposed to act as a USB interface as well for recording. https://www.amazon.co.uk/NUX-Mighty-Headphone-Amplifier-Bluetooth/dp/B08HR3XBZ2/ref=pd_lpo_1?pd_rd_w=cPfpX&content-id=amzn1.sym.2d229339-2f42-4596-a90d-b81a4f52d6d3&pf_rd_p=2d229339-2f42-4596-a90d-b81a4f52d6d3&pf_rd_r=AY4B1HK86P6WGVWTZ3AN&pd_rd_wg=bglyf&pd_rd_r=969bbeda-fae3-40f8-b221-1d4fa153e19f&pd_rd_i=B08HR3XBZ2&psc=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilorius Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) If you want only to hear your live bass and prerecorded drums on your pc through headphone - you don't need usb and good pc. Just buy a 4 chanell mixer, connect with your bass, stereo input from pc output and plug your headphones. You will get your sound eq and all this will be analog way.

ped Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 I think something desk based would work best as he’s probably going to be at his computer when playing and it would be easier plugging into a device linked with the computer. I did think a mixer might be useful but I think that might complicate things at this stage. I have a NUX I could send him for starters though, good call. Didn’t realise that was an interface too.

I just don't understand why he wants usb interface - what for, if he will not going to use live monitoring and recording ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 Ok we have a plan. He’s buying a Sire V5 and I’m sending him my now redundant Nux plug (and some strings etc). When he’s ready to involve the computer we’ll tackle that later. He mostly plays his drums along with music so will prob do the same with the bass, and it sounds like the kids are taking over his home office so the portability and size are a definite bonus. Thanks for all the great advice chaps 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
