Recording bass guitar

[Corny]

Bass->Amp->Computer (Via Cable, Pluged In At Mic Port)
Or
Bass->Multi Effect Pedal->Com

So.. Which?

Is A Sound Carded Needed? Which Would U Recommend?
Where To Get Adaptors To Make A 1/4 Cable Pluggable To A PC THANKS!

get a line 6 ux1/ux2 , presonus or zoom h4n.
With that you can connect

Bass > ux1/ux2 > computer
or
Bass > Amp > Microphone > ux1/ux2 > computer

i think the first option would be good enough .

Bass->Amp->Computer (Via Cable, Pluged In At Mic Port)

Only if your amp has an "emulated line out" jack. Check the manual if unsure. This seldom sounds that great though.

Bass->Multi Effect Pedal->Com

If your multieffects has a USB out, you can use that.

Anything Cheaper..? >.< Whats A Decent Multi Effect (Best Quality For Amount Paid) Student, So Cant Afford Much, Thanks!

Cheaper than what? A UX1 interface suggested by Aunt.mall costs $100+ second hand. A lot of the Zoom, DigiTech and Boss multieffects have USB output.

Bass --->cable---> Line 6 ux1 --->usb---> computer?

What if I want to do a cover of a song? How to record the song I want to play with the bass that I play together and record it? I'm not good with technical stuffs. Can explain to me? I wanna learn.

And also, if I want to do a cover of a song with my brother playing guitar and me playing bass, how to do it without recording separately? Is it possible?

You need a DAW on your computer . (garageband , cubase , logic , audacity ) the basic DAWs pretty much have the same concept . Just watch some tutorials on how to use it on youtube or something . Just drag the audio/background music file into the workspace , and start a new audio recording track and start playing . Export the file to whatever format you want .

if you want to record two things together at once by plugin/miced .. then the UX1 is not enough .. you prolly need presonus firebox or any audio interface that has 2 or more inputs .

Thanks! I have audacity. If I want to record a video of my cover, will I have to combined the two and try to synchronise it? It sounds soo hard to do it

I saw a video on youtube and the guy in the video is using Guitar Link Cable and it comes with Guitar Rig. Anyone knows where to get them?
Anyway, here's the link to the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhmqeubuYQk
