How to use Electric guitar as Bass guitar? Is there any plugin in Cubase? or any preset in Guitar Rig 4.. Lemme know soon please
I wonder how do you ppl come up with a "plugin in Cubase / Nuendo" or whatever you are using. Do you convert your guitar into a MIDI channel? Because as far as I know all these music sequencers can handle only MIDI data and manipulate it.
How many octaves down is a bass guitar from a normal electric guita btw? i think if something can make my guitar sound 2-3 octaves down shud help ...i donno bout midi thing...
ITS only ONE octave down. Guitar is a bass instrument on its own - its just when we put in overdrive or distortion - the higher harmonics overwhelm the fundamental frequencies. And in Post EQ, we tend to remove any hint of these fundamental notes - to remove the "muddiness" You know - without even using an octave HOW you can sound like a Bass? Turn down all the midrange and high-end. Boost the low-end. Of course don't engage any overdrive or distortion.
Will try that...I mainly need it for recording purpose...lets see how it goes.. will keep you updated
play REALLY clean, maybe use a compressor beforehand so you have clear notes of even volume and use the pitch-shift/transpose function on the recorded wave file, once you're happy with it. keep pick attack at a bare minimum though. that should give you your basic wav file in your track display, use track FX like EQ, maybe a little more compression and (if you want) bass amp simulation after that. ideally you want to blend in the second octave down too, maybe about 35% so that you don't lose subharmonic content.
Yeah! Pitch transpose on recorded track sounds cool idea. Do most of the common recording software have this?
Unless you are keen on sequencing music, manipulating MIDIs etc - I think Cubase is just an overkill. (and it didn't have even a working pitch correction feature till recent releases!) Audacity is pretty good in what it does. (My only gripe is that its GUI is not intuitive)
