Guest uptown devil Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 yeah, there are many ways to do it. first you will need some sort of software that will allow you to record/edit/sequence. hopefully you have this already. next you will need a way to get the signal from your bass to your computer. this can be done through a mixer, recording the signal from your amp with a microphone, or with a USB/Firewire device (this is probably the easiest solution). something like this would work just fine, and would cost you between $100 and $200, which isn't bad. you can go direct in and use VST's for amplification, or if you have a nice amp you can pass through that. another solution is the mixer. you can get a cheap behringer for under $100. be careful though, as far as mixers go - you get what you pay for.

Guest Sprigg Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 That thing looks pretty good, and from what little I've played with my M-Audio Oxygen 8, I like their products a lot. Thankya very much, devil! Now, I pray that my shit soundcard can handle this.

Now, I pray that my shit soundcard can handle this. no problem if you are havin trouble with your soundcard, you could just replace it with a direct-in card like the delta 1010 instead of getting a mixer or a USB interface: i used to have one and it worked great. they go for about $150 i think Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/55609-hooking-a-bass-guitar-to-my-compy/#findComment-1306125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest margaret thatcher Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 i'm gonna get slated for this, but i've been known to hook the output of an electric bass guitar into the mic input of a laptop and record it without the amp. you really get a massive sub bass sound. then add effects/digital tube amp distortion afterwards.

Guest Sprigg Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Whoa... I"ve been thinkin' about an external sound card type thing... cuz mine (and my driver) don't allow me to 'record what i hear' in any program Margaret-- what would connect from the bass to the itty bitty little mic-in port on my laptop?

ryancolecreate Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 be careful you don't over load your motherboard. Basses are highly resonant pulse-wave tensor modulation sources and can very easily fry your computational center wave structure.
