Common questions
What audio gear do most home studios overlook?
Reamp boxes (Radial JCR), DI boxes (Radial ProDI / J48), and proper monitor isolation pads. These small pieces fix routing, hum, and monitor coupling issues that no plugin can. They're the difference between a home setup that works and one that fights you.
Do I need a DI box for recording bass guitar?
Yes if you want a clean DI track alongside an amp recording. Active basses can plug into an interface's instrument input without a DI; passive basses sound stronger through a DI like the Radial ProDI. The DI also lets you reamp the track later through a real bass amp.
