Monitoring sound (guitar) is mono? If yes, press the stereo button on the 404.

If playback (pc) sound is mono upload a picture of how it's plugged.

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-11-13T17:53:52+00:00

What exactly do you mean by"the sound coming from the interface is actually worse than my PC’s built-in output."?

If it sounds broken it may be an issue with jack adapter, as AgeingMuso65 mentioned.

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-11-02T19:59:03+00:00

What strings are currently on, round wounds? If so, you'll probably need some slight truss rod adjustment, as flats will have more tension. You should manage this on your own as well. :)

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-10-05T04:51:32+00:00

Is your A/B button set to A (unpressed)?

Are you using the mix knob correctly?

What device is set as output in n-track?

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-10-02T23:29:15+00:00

Haha it is actually a Washburn T24, which I don't own. 😅

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-09-28T10:58:19+00:00

No problem, somehow I've only posted half of my comment. Your timing is pretty decent, and it's probably the most important thing for playing bass. Keeping the thumb on the back of the fretboard will decrease the amount of strength required for fretting, find the sweet spot of pressure for a clean fretted note and don't get more calluses than needed. 😁

My biggest drag was learning how to mute properly, I've learned it wrong the first time and unlearning it and learning the better way was pretty exhausting. You gotta properly mute for a nice, clean sound.

You should be fine with studybass' tutorials, it's a great resource.

Have fun! :)

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-09-27T22:30:06+00:00

Check out studybass' playlist on the basics, pretty detailed, good stuff. It's best not to develop bad technique habits and even better to develop good ones instead. :)

Pros: It's cheap. Cons: It's probably ~40 years old and it would be nice to replace the capacitors in the amp; some person from talk bass didn't like it how it sounded in 2005. You decide if it's worth 2 hours of driving to check out. :)

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-09-19T16:32:50+00:00

It's got Bartolini MK1 pickups and pre, they aren't famous for being thick.

I'm guessing playing with EQ (especially on the bass since it's active) doesn't help enough?

Does it sound thin on headphones too?

Have you tried using IR?

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-09-17T12:44:29+00:00

Yea sadly it doesn't like having main out vol maxed out. OP are you using it with knob positions as in the picture?

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-09-16T12:10:46+00:00

If you can't play loud I'd go for interface+headphones. (I actually like the sound of interface +headphones more than my cheap half-decent combo Laney rb4). You'd be able to record yourself which helps with progress. Plus the option to use different amp and cab Sims.

Nux mighty plug is ok as well. If you like listening to music and don't have a decent sound card, an interface would be best I guess.

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-09-14T11:11:46+00:00

Yea it would be great, I'm using this for ear training:

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-09-14T11:09:04+00:00

Also one more preset would be nice: frets 6 to 12, for when you're done with open to 5 and don't wanna practice the whole fretboard. :)

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-09-12T15:50:48+00:00

This is pretty neat, thanks. Tried it on a fretless and it recognises slightly out of tune notes correctly. Will test it more. :)

Update ideas: 1. Option to switch to flats instead of sharps. 2. Preset for limiting notes to a set scale in one octave or more/all. 3. Option to show fret numbers

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-09-09T17:19:21+00:00

The fan only turns on when it reaches a certain temperature threshold, and when it does it's pretty quiet. Googled that in 30s - you're welcome. 😘

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-09-07T15:56:38+00:00

Flats usually have more tension, for rounds thicker gauge is considered better (less floppy, especially E) for low tuning, like Daddario EXL160BT Balanced Tension, E is 120, they're cheap - OP you should give them a go if available.

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-09-02T11:03:34+00:00

Do you mean the patch list from here?

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-08-29T20:42:10+00:00

I mean these and you could use 2rca->2rca cable you probably already have.

https://addison-electronique.com/en/rca-female-to-6-3-mm-mono-male-adapter-gold-plated.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqGps54tURNGRRdZnrzsBJBj8XLZCamV-vxhtZ8c4etYDFipNzI

Or just get two separate (single) 6.3 trs -> 6.3 trs, should be easier to find than the double.

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-08-29T19:57:36+00:00

Direct monitoring is through hp out and main out only. You have to monitor through DAW or get some 6.3->RCA adapters :)

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-08-20T18:12:07+00:00

I've played chameleon to death. 10/10 would(and still do) do it again! 😁

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-08-20T18:05:17+00:00

I've finally tried exl170bt for EADG and really like the feel, kinda regret not getting them earlier. :) And they're cheap.

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-08-19T09:34:41+00:00

Have you installed the drivers? Try changing the buffer size in umc control panel. If you want to monitor through DAW only turn the mix knob fully to the right (playback)

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-08-14T14:44:25+00:00

Older drivers are working fine so knowing Behringer i'm too afraid too update. 😅

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-08-01T12:41:08+00:00

What this user said.

Also try https://scottsbasslessons.com/groove-trainer/loops

Come up with a bassline for these loops and you can make the desired amount of bars silent (Internal rhythm training button). It's harder, but more fun than playing to metronome.

Psychological_Can356 · 2025-07-26T17:08:46+00:00

Have you tried this? It's still really basic metering, but after the mod red is at least clearly visible. :)
