Their is an instrument level which is the motivation behind my OP
whether to use the instrument input or use my DI and go to the mic input.

So far I've been using the instrument and it sounds pretty damn good to my amateur hobbyist ears.

I am a hobbyist to be sure. Any and all use of my Apogee and Live is for simple practice and or recording what I would call "sketches"
Suffice to say my bass and I are never that far from the Mac/Apogee in either scenario (practice or recording)

I'm using an Apogee One (which has both Mic and Instrument Inputs) Apogee ONE Features > Apogee Electronics
To record Bass Guitar into Live 8.
My question is what (if any) is the difference in recording using the direct instrument input (1/4 strait to the One) vs using a DI and the Mic input (1/4 ...

I'm looking to purchase a used Mac off ebay (or new if necessary) for the purpose of running Live to record my Electric Bass.
I've decided on the Apogee One and will be using pedals and an Aguilar Tone Hammer Preamp/DI to sculpt tone. Suffice to say I won't be putting to much of a strain on the Mac ...

really enjoyed both tracks.
Fantastic sound!

The majority of the hits I've had to my bandcamp site have been from this board. I just wanted to say thanks for listening

first of all do what you feel man. I've studied theory for a few years now and at the end of the day its about what you feel. Cliche but still true

As to what I do w/bass with regards to approach and notes etc..
First off my chord voicing are typically 3/7 (the Bill Evans technique as they refer to ...

You've conjured a great vibe! I dig it.
Fantastic sound too...top notch mix.
