With bass I just run it thru a compressor. Drums the same way but with a pre mixdown. I really love the X3 for its versitility for recording and live performances. :) I use the X3 Live for all my studio recordings, running it thru Groove Tubes ” The Brick” for tube warmth ( only for certain projects) and a compressor and have had amazing results with voice and guitar.

I hear a difference in sound between the XLR and spdif, the spidf sounds a little better/clearer of course with no digital conversions, but it ruins my clocking scheme in my studio to do it that way (there's no word clock input on the X3) so I use the XLR outs. It sounds good enough to me. If you can use the spdif, i.e. you're not clocking to something fancy like me, then I would use that. @guitarplayer888 thanks for the question. here’s teddy’s response:

Do you use spdif or do you use the xlr direct outs into some kind of tube computer interface? I've tried both and while I can't swear that I hear a difference either way, as my cobbled together home studio the spdif outs a bit a difficult to manage because I haven't mastered my DAW (Reaper) and its easier to just plug the two xlr outs into my presonus audio interface. Are there advantages inherent to one method over another? Teddy what method are you using to capture the output of the X3L?
