Hi Pete, I've noticed no one has replied to your post.....and I probably wont be helping when I tell you....I drag & drop my RealTracks into Sonar 8.5! In there I've found VINTAGE 64 Plug-ins.....many of them helpful. I've used the Acoustic Guitar preset....with just 'a touch' of extra reverb, and that can give me a sound that I like. But I just use my ears! Maybe if you re-post.....change the heading to "Advice on Amplitube" or something, I'm sure the guys will help. Pat Marr & others are experts!
Like you, I've never been able to use Amplitube for any live guitar tracks, electric or acoustic! But then, that's my fault! Regards, Joe G.
