I’ve had four songs I’ve written done by a Nashville studio with a pro singer over my BIAB backing track. I’m trying to get another one done. For my original version I was playing an acoustic guitar for rhythm back up. A short example is HERE . Any suggestions on what the RealTracks might be in BIAB to get a similar sounding guitar, rhythm wise?
Thanks, Ralph

Hey, Ralph. Try 3580 and/or 3581. They sound good split as a stereo pair. I searched for "palm" and "mute" and then looked for the guitars closest to the tempo, in this case 130 BPM. Good luck!

Ron,
Many thanks for the suggestions. I think 3581 will work. It appears to be using all downstrokes on the guitar, where I think I’m using down up down up-muted . By the time all the other instruments are there, It probably won’t make a difference. Really appreciate your help and I never would’ve thought to search using those two terms.
Thanks,

Cool, Ralph. Yeah, while many of the BiaB RTs sound quite credible up front in a mix, many more will sound better than ok if combined with other instruments. I try not to make it TOO complicated, but it's HARD. After all, BiaB is supposed to save us time in getting to a finished song, right?

I'm still using term searches under "Select Best All RealTracks" 99% of the time. I've just gotten proficient enough at it where I'm not wasting time. Plus I know how to find my go-to RealTracks when I need them.

Happy playing!
