I have a lead solo I like a lot frozen in BIAB. But today I just started experiment8ing with the DI option and I would much prefer to have a DI version of the lead part that I could spice up in my DAW using Guitar Rig 5! I assumed I'd be able to just turn on or off the fx but so far it seems like I have to instead regenerate the track using the DI option.
Any way to convert a RealTrack generated track to its DI counterpart without regenerating?
Some RealTracks have the DI (clean) option available, so you can apply your own amp effects (such as with Amplitube or Guitar Rig Pro). There is a column in the RealTracks Picker to indicate whether a RealTrack even has a DI version available. Basically, this will let you choose between the already amped sound as recorded, or as the direct input sound from the mixing board (which will be clean and allow you to apply your own amp effects). BIAB (and RB) will pick the appropriate areas of that file to use depending on if the checkbox is on or off. It doesn't remove anything from the sound when you select DI, it just uses a different part of the RT file. Likewise, unchecking doesn't add amp effects back to the guitar, it just uses the section of the file where the guitar was recorded through the amp.
Hope that made sense.

"Any way to convert a RealTrack generated track to its DI counterpart without regenerating?" YES just rename the non DI folder Guitar,..._ORG create a folder with the same original name then copy the contents of the DI folder to it create a backup of the SGU open the SGU take the reverb off save it as Artist Performance Track and drag out as a wav also. now it's a wav, you can put the folders back to normal. You are lucky you are using bb and you don't use real band
