[QUOTE="ArrowHead%20is%20watching%20you:633427"]I almost always prefer running a DI from the amp over a mic. Unless you've got the money for a mic that will do a bass cab justice, you'll usually get better results. As for sounds, it all depends on what you're working with. Bass is pretty versatile, as there's a lot of places it can sit well in a mix. From the poppy mid-ranged attack of a band like Mudvayne (or even the last Goratory album) to the almost non-existent deep throbbing of a band like nevermore or Gahdsmack. These are all examples, not necessarily good bands. Look at how you're EQing your guitar, drum, and vocal tracks. Try to find a good spot on the EQ where you could fit the bass between the kick drum and lowest guitar riffs. Try to make cuts, rather than boosts, when you deal with EQ. Also, a little cut goes a long way. If your EQ looks like a roller coaster, what sounds good now may piss you off in a month. Finally, and most importantly, with bass a LITTLE compression or gain will go a loooong way. Try doubling your bass track. Keep one track clean with a little compression. Notch out the high mids and highs. Now apply a little distortion/overdrive to the second track, and if necessary boost the frequencies you cut on the first track. Also, always mix your bass with the other tracks running. You'll find that what sounds stellar with the track on solo can disappear completely once you unmute the other tracks.[/QUOTE]
