> So far in this series we’ve mainly discussed the creation of electronic basslines using synths. But this month, I thought I’d quickly touch on the ins and outs of recording bass into your DAW using an audio interface.
I was a guitarist prior to starting out in music production over 15 years ago now. One of the most special moments for me in coming to electronic music, was realising that I could record my ideas directly into a DAW instead of using my terrible mp3 player mic.
Having access to a studio and a selection of mics to use on a bass amp is great but not always possible for home producers or musicians just starting out in electronic production. Fortunately there’s a wealth of tools out there to turn just a plain, clean recording into something incredible.
