Hi there,
Over the last year or so I've begun recording bass on my computer through a Scarlett Mini. I'm now in a situation where I want to record play - alongs, and my bass teacher offered me some advice for better quality recordings:
1. I should try adding a subtractive EQ in the bass register of the song track, to make sure that the song's bass is not that audible. Makes sense, since I want to fill that role now. My teacher uses Logic Pro and they prefer -12DB at about 150HZ for most of their own play-along recordings.
2. A 4-string bass has its lowest note at about 41.5 HZ and any harmonics or other frequencies below that are noisy and hitting the limit of the human audio spectrum anyway. I'd like to erase those, and for that a high-pass filter sounds ideal.
I was wondering whether there is a widely used plugin for bass recording through reaper that does at least these two rather basic things
I am also open to any other suggestions that you might have for recording in the low - end, but try to explain it if I'm 5, if you don't mind; I have 2 months Reaper / DAW experience ^_^
