Real Track Bass - Acoustic Fusion Slow Neil Drums are Logic Drummer. I'm playing a strat through Amplitube. I am really enjoying fiddling about with BIAB. I am finding it useful for inspiration when my muse goes on holiday.... https://soundcloud.com/user-663569023/what-was-the-question Last edited by Chris Dent; 05/18/20 02:39 PM.

rayc Veteran Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 6,596 Cooran Queensland Australia	The reverb and delay on the guitar blur it quite a bit and builds up a lot of bottom end which disguises the kick drum and makes everything else just a little harder to hear properly. You could solve that by putting a high pass on the guitar or by limiting the range of the reverb (a low pass). Some lovely playing and melodic passages.

Looking for more of a jazz tone I think. I also tend to wind the treble off on the amp. I rarely use a bright tone but am always open to experimentation.... The guitarists eternal search for 'that tone'! Chris More of my music at: https://soundcloud.com/user-663569023

I'm with Rayc on the little more reverb than I'd like, but when that guitar comes in after the piano solo, all is forgiven. hehe.

I took your advice rayc and cleaned up the guitar sound. I also changed the synth pad as the synth background wash was similar to the guitar reverb and adding to the muddiness. I have updated the file and I think it sounds better cleaned up. So thanks again for the tip.... Chris More of my music at: https://soundcloud.com/user-663569023
