Recording solo bass

[funkalicious101]

when it comes to recording and recording equipment is am pretty much useless, but it looks like you guys could redeem even me.

what i am looking to do is record some solo bass tracks (with looping). im not looking for any extravagant or expensive, just something that can get the job done rather well.

can anyone help me on how i should go about this and what equipment should i use?

thanks

on the computer or a stand alone device?

portable for live work or stationary for a studio environment?

hmmm. i am getting a laptop soon so i guess it could be either computer or stand alone.

and i suppose just studio.

or

Line 6 Tone Port

might be the cheapest way... interface + software for the laptop

anyone got anything else?

I too would go for the presonus stuff. It's fairly cheap (here in Aus anyway) and easy to use.

If you're looking to do bass looping, all you would need is an audio interface as long as you get one that comes with decent software. I don't know what your price range is but you can check out some of the m-audio stuff, I know they're decent for the price. Also +1 to presonus. A few cables and you'll be ready to go.

i already have a looper and everything to play my stuff. i just have no way to record it.

PreSonus Firebox is a good way to go.

hmmm, that one does look like it would get the job done.
