Use the Bass Amp Designer Direct Box in Logic Pro for iPad
The Direct Box is modeled on a highly regarded American D.I. unit.
Direct Box parameters
Gain knob and field: Set the input gain of the Direct Box.
Tone knob and field: Set the tonal color of the Direct Box. Each number represents a preset EQ curve.
1: An EQ curve with a -6 dB scoop from 100 Hz to 10 kHz, most pronounced around 800 Hz. Suitable for acoustic and string instruments, electric bass, and keyboards.
2: An EQ curve with a very pronounced -24 dB v-shaped notch from 100 Hz to 10 kHz, centered around 800 Hz. Suitable for electric bass guitar.
3: An EQ curve with a -3 dB scoop from 100 Hz to 10 kHz, most pronounced around 800 to 1200 Hz. Suitable for acoustics, strings, electric and bass guitar, and keyboards.
4: An EQ curve with a -3 dB scoop from 1 kHz to 10 kHz, most pronounced around 8 kHz. Frequencies between 60 Hz and 1 kHz have a slight boost of 1 or 2 dB above unity. Frequencies above 10 kHz have a +3 dB boost. Suitable for acoustics, strings, electric and bass guitars, and keyboards.
5: A sloped EQ curve that ramps up from -24 dB at 10 Hz to + 3 dB at around 900 Hz. Suitable for acoustic and electric guitar.
6: A sloped EQ curve that ramps up from -24 dB at 10 Hz to +3 dB at around 900 Hz. The signal rolls off by approximately 6 dB between 10 and 20 kHz. Suitable for electric and bass guitar.
HF Cut button: Turn on a highpass filter. This is used to reduce noise.
Tone On/Off button: Turn on the tone control.
Amp/DI Mix knob: Drag to hear the Direct Box signal alone or in parallel with the amplifier.
Use the Direct Box only
In the Logic Pro Bass Amp Designer Output section, set the Amp/DI Mix knob to the full right position.
Use the Direct Box and the amplifier in parallel
In the Logic Pro Bass Amp Designer Output section, set the Amp/DI Mix knob to any central position—not to the full right or the full left position.
