I wondered if I such a DI box would make sense in my recording setup : bass ---> mixing console ---> soundcard How useful would it be to insert a DI ? bass ---> DI --> mixing console ---> soundcard A guitarist friend of mine has tried to convince me so, but I did not exactly grasp the whole argument ... I would have thought that the console already serves as a preamp, but I may miss some point ? Thanks for advice.
It should sound better using a DI since it will match the impedance. What type of input are you using on the mixing console? Borrow your friend's DI to hear the difference for yourself.
