Playing with a pick (I normally use fingers on bass parts). EQing out some high mids to reduce pick click.
Well, that's one change that wouldn't help me since I always play bass with a pick anyway. Having started stringed instruments as a hack guitarist, I made the move to hack bassist without any real change of technique (insofar as I have technique ;)).
Prior to this approach, my sound was often indistinct. The AW1600 gives me some very clear reproduction at 24bit. Better than I was getting recording to my Mac. However, I was always searching for better.
I did get good sound out of my Roland DAW -- just couldn't cart it to South America! The latest GarageBand versions do 24-bit recording, though I haven't tried that yet. I plan to check out some purpose- made AU amp sims eventually, which I'm thinking might get better tone than just the built-in GB sims ... but that's a ways off in the budget.
