DI+Samamp+Amp.
Do you ever put the SansAmp in front of the actual amp, since it's technically supposed to be an amp sim?
I love recording a single DI, editing the hell out of it
How do you get on with bass editing? I always find bass to be hard to edit since the transients are sorta blobs and smears.
it's pretty easy if you choose the right graph representation and horisontal scale.
if it is fingered bass, you will have slight pauses between notes.
if it is picked or agressively fingered, you'll see the attacks.
if it is played really crappy, I prefer to re-record it in secrecy
well, if you really have to edit bass that it just too undefined, you might wanna try the next (a random idea):
-copy a DI track
-highpass it at around 150-200hz, to change the graph representation of the waveform. you will see the attacks much better.
-now group it with the original unprocessed track and slice them both.
-then delete the highpassed track (or add some distortion on it and blend )
I'm not even talking about melodyne. Trying to keep away from bass tracks being out of tune.
A little off topic here. Have you ever fixed tuning on programmed bass? I have trilian but after recording the guitars in tune, the midi bass sounds out of tune but when I check it with a tuner the sustained note is correct but the attack notes are not in tune, actually worse than the guitars. I'm a little confused on what should I do ( I just can't use real bass atm, don' task ). And the guitars are correctly in tune so...what should I do to fix attack notes of the bass?
