Seems like the DE is better suited towards kick drums? Quote:

| | | | Out of curiosity, has anyone tried a Blue Spark on a bass cab?
The chart shows a nice low-end bump at 80Hz (with the Focus Control switch out), and a friend of a friend is selling one for a really good price. |

The biggest thing I'd recommend is to not use the same mic that you use on the kick as you do on the bass amp. It's hard enough to get them to cohabitate without doing that. In fact, I tend to avoid modern "kick drum mics" completely because they're all pre EQ'd in a similar fashion.
KO | The RE 20 is a dynamic, isnt it?
I like the Shure SM-7B |

| | | | I would suggest always taking a DI (alone or in addition) without effects and with minimal EQ. You can then reamp or reprocess the DI signal later if required. |

| | | | Ive done a bit of recording with both mic/DI with good results.
In recent years Ive had better results with modelers.
LINE6, ZOOM, DIGITECH all emulate mic/DI real nice. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
