| Nice tracks, Mungo. I can hear how your skill progressed through them. However, sound-wise what I'm looking for is closer to the basic bass, drums, guitar sound in the first in the series. So I guess it's safe to assume the quality of the sound will get better with Logic Pro but the realism in sound is basically consistent between GB and Logic? Don't know if that makes sense to you. Thanks for your great help and advice. |

| Thanks, Mungo. I'll have to go over your answers with a fine tooth comb later. I hate to over abuse your kindness in answering but, I have one last question: Do you think the realism of the software instruments sound will improve if I retire Garageband and step up to Logic Pro? P.S. I respect Rush musically too but don't really go for any of the Randian stuff. They outgrew it a long time ago, thankfully, but the reputation for it still dogs them sadly.  |

| Wow, you caught the phase effect on the drums? You're good. Some really helpful points you've given me here. I understand what you're talking about the bass sounding blurry. I haven't been able to isolate the bass sound so the listener can hear it from the rest of the instruments. The bass balance is actually set in the middle. The balance knob for the bass is blurred out and GB won't let me give the bass a left or right shift balance. Not sure why. I initially locked all the tracks so I wouldn't lose anything. Could that be the reason? Once you've locked the bass you can't change the balance? I can change the balance of the drums and guitar so not sure why the bass presents a problem.

Can you elaborate? I'm not very knowledgeable in that area. Can I set these at different velocities to make the bass sound more real? How do I fix it? Mungo wrote: > Most bass players would want to emphasize or syncopate with a beat, depending on what the drummer is playing. I don't have a good sense of that going on here. Yea, I kind of realized that...I'm very green at composing music so I have work to do on syncopation. For the time being, I kind of pretend each "musician" is showing off their chops by going off on their own tangent riffs. Kind of what a lot of pretentious and self-indulgent progressive rock groups do..ala Rush, Fates Warning, etc...or that's what I'm telling myself.  Thanks for the great feedback. |

 This sounds a little like an older +Live+ song. Nice. |
