hey, was just thinking about your bass recording question from a couple weeks ago and needed to take a break to relax my brain, so here's a quick shopping list/signal flow for you if you're plugging in direct to your mixer:
Bass > 1/4" cable > [SansAmp Bass DI] > XLR cable (balanced) > Channel 1 XLR input on mixer (make sure it's one with a preamp on it) > FX send from back of mixer channel > 1/4" cable > [Compressor] > 1/4" cable > Channel 2 1/4" input on mixer Keep faders on both channel 1 & 2 at 0 to start
SansAmp Bass DI
