fizz and top end information/sound you don't need and the rumble in the lows in
the 50hz region you don't need either. For this load the RedEQ plugin in the gui
tar tracks. Set high pass to 105 hz, set low pass to about 10k (just under the 1
6k indication) - this takes all the fizz and crunch you don't want from the guit
ar tone and the low end rumble that's gonna confuse the mix. Copy the plugin int
o the other guitr channel
add the bass line: you can use a midi controller keyboard plugged in by the usb.
load in a plugin instrument (expand 2 for ex) into the intrument track which wa
s reserved for bass line. You may select a the full pick base preset for the exp
and 2 plugin and then record the bass line. Select your loop as your backing tra
ck and record your bass using the midi ctrl. Tighten up the notes you played in:
select all of the notes, right click and go to event operations, select quantiz
e and set it to 1/16 note for example and click apply.
trim the audio of the recorded tracks where there is nothing playing (there migh
t be some slight feedback and interference) (use the trim tool).
before exporting the track, make sure in the mixer window that nothing is clippi
ng. so create a master fading channel: click on the track tab>new>select stereo
and master fader>create. play the track and if it's clipping turn the vol of all
tracks down a little bit and make sure it doesn't go into the red zone. you can
add an insert to the master fader to make the whole track sound more profession
al and finished: and a dinamic 3 compressor limiter and set it acording to the m
ixpres.png picture. if the master fader is clipping, turn the compressor down a
little bit (turn the red knob donw to adround 4.6 db - a little down so it won't
clip again).
export the track: file>export>audio mix>leave the settings of the file the way t
hey are set by the program>chose a name for the track>set export path>click expo
