For the price of two month's subscription, you could get a full license for Reaper, and get full access to all its very extensive features, including usage of Vst's, from the go-get, as the free-to-use 'trial' pre-purchase version is not restricted in any way. Downloadable for PC or Mac (there's a Linux version, too, being beta'd...). I can't see what Pro Tools has that Reaper hasn't for home use, or even semi-pro studio (apart its cost, of course...). Just sayin. As for the bass sound: I can't really help, as I usually prefer to use the 'dry' direct sound of my basses in any case. Sorry.

True story... I was about 12, we had another weekly music lesson. Mr Smith explained he was to play a disk; we would listen to it, and note the differing parts of the symphony. The disk was played; we were asked, one by one, what we had noted. Many got the right answer (three movements to the work...), some dolts had heard nothing special, or hadn't bothered. He looked at my notes; I'd filled a page with pretty much each change of theme or phrase. There were well over a hundred 'parts' that I'd picked out..! Over-thinking it, that day..!

This ^^ is excellent gen from One Who Knows. Good Stuff, BRX.

Oodles of fine musicianship here ...

Could do with a re-fin, though. ...

I remain loyal to my favourite classical composers (Schubert, Bruckner, Mozart et al...), and the bands I appreciated at the time (Fairports, Airplane, Grateful Dead, Spirit et el...). I often give some time to stuff indicated on this Forum as being worth a shot, especially played by Forum members, and the stuff I've actually bought in the last few years comes exclusively from these sources. Most stuff, though, I don't give a second listen, and even more I wouldn't even give house-room to (most funk, disco, reggae, edm; in fact anything with a big 'one, one, one, one...' beat...). Old School, me..? Quite definitely..!

I pity anyone tuning in to mine..!

S'why I don't 'do' lotteries; too scared of winning.

[Mod's Hat On] It rather looks as if this topic is about to tumble into pointless and point-scoring sarcasms; my feeling is that it would be best locked, starting with a week or so. If it's re-opened (it's not BC policy to lock topics, generally...) it'll be watched, and further dumb posting will bring about the inevitable permanent lock. Please get back to whatever purposeful occupation you were involved in; there'll be an interlude here. [/Mod's Hat On]

I would, maybe, if I knew what it signified. Too young and innocent, you see. Good parenting. Grammar school'n'all. No, don't explain, please, or I may have to intervene more often..!

Truly Shakespearien.

Ray Ross, one would presume..?

As drum machines go, the Arturia is a decent candidate. It has the advantage of having all the sounds already incorporated, and separate outputs for each part of the kit (assuming you want multi-track drum mixing..?). It has, of course, the disadvantages of drum machines, too, in that, if the sounds please, fine; if not, tough. It's not badly priced (I saw around the £300 mark..?). Your choice, of course, but I'm puzzled as to what you're trying to do that can't be done with ease using Toontrack's EZ-Drummer 2 for half the price, though. Do you want to play 'hands on' with pads, or usepre-existing MIDI tracks, or create tracks in 'piano-roll' style..? If you're not into EDM stuff, what style would best describe the drum stuff you need..? Curious..? Yes; I'm a drummer, and I'd like to understand what the issues are.

Because that Ross bridge is supposed to fix an aesthetics issue..?

Word ^^

The 'threesome' mix has its interest; I agree that Andy is chucking it out well enough; after all, all three were demoing for a lone guitar spot. He fills the space; maybe a bit 'too much', depending on taste. The 'Santana' solo is competent enough in a '70s fashion; t'would fit, depending on repertoire. Still, mix'n'match gives a clear win (to me, but what would I know...) to Mike and Momo. If only one was to be retained, Andy has his chance; if there's an opening for two, it's the 'M' twins that shine. Our Andy certainly has some hard decisions coming up, the lucky so-and-so..!

I'm on it, and trying to remove the bass from each track (using your 'raw' track in anti-phase...) so as to better isolate them. S'fun..!

Reminds me of the woman, talking to the surgeon who'd operated on her husbands arthritic hands... "Tell me the truth, please, Doctor; will he be able to play the piano..?" "Yes, Madam, he'll have no problem with that." "That's wonderful, Doctor; he'll be so pleased. He never could before."

Having 'rough'-mixed them, it now seems strange listening to either one; the other seems to be 'missing', now..!

I popped the two tracks into Reaper, panned 'em 35% Left & Right; they make complementary sense when playing 'together'. Even the 'wah' finds its place..! There's definitely 'space' for two guitars of that ilk. Thanks for sharing.

More likely to be ...

Actually, it could do, but it would be quite unusual. For instance, Joni Mitchell's 'Chelsea Morning' is in 'D', and opens with a 'D7' chord.
