How to record Bass?

[thorns12321]

Hey all, i was wondering how do people record their bass into their computers?
I saw Line 6 Toneports for guitars and all but i dont see any for bass. :???:

hmm you're looking for a device that just records it or must it have special efects?

I got one of these...

pretty useful. allows me to record guitar, bass, and the mike, along with keyboards. but its the raw sound, special effects will have to be done via some other way

How much isit anyway? I'm kinda saving up. Now only $50+
I saw Line 6 Pod Studio only just now when i asked a friend but have no idea how much it caused. Toneport was kinda cool to be honest.

hmmm i got mine from a shop called Woodworkz or smth along the lines of that. kinda cheap, only $280 considering it can record guitars, keys, mic, bass, and even drums! but only 2 at a time. gives you the option to use MIDI, and Studio monitors as well. connects to a computer via USB, 48V phantom power. kinda simple to use. me and my fren uses it to do our own rough mixing and recording, just waiting for our songs to be perfected, find a few remainding band members, and save up the $$ before we hit an actual studio for pro recordings

Yours UX1 or UX2?

just use the toneport lah. i don't think usb audio interfaces are instrument-specific. in which case 'guitar' could also mean 'bass guitar'. think of it as a 1-channel mixer

I used line 6 bass podxt live, and ableton software...

the pod xt not the best for recording, but i got it since i use it more for amp mod/effects than for recording. if you want just recording can just use toneport lor.

i went city music, they have good prices (imo).

anwyay you didn't mention what you want to record for? If it's for youtube video... can consider just getting a microphone and plugging into your computer. quality can be good enough for youtube..

Firstly, I kinda want to use it as an alternative to amps. Cause Pod Farm/ Gearbox got all the effects inside and i have yet to get a bass amp or any pedals...
I'm currently running my bass through a guitar amp using headphones though(nothing bad happened).
Secondly, I found out that it can record so its like a 2 in 1 for me.
I'm choosing between GX and UX1 now.. Most probably GX as i don't sing. XD
Anybody know what are the prices? Can't find em on citymusic website.
