is the original guitar sound from a RealTrack using amplitube? in real life pedals create a certain amount of background noise. does amplitube do the same in BIAB? if so you are reamping an already reamped sound

in live performance you'd use a noise gate to cut out the sound when you are not playing and it would be lost when the guitar comes in. as matt says distorted guitar hides a lot of things.

(including bad playing - mark knopfler and hank marvin play 'clean' and you could hear every mistake if they ever made one! distortion covers the odd fluff)

if the Realtrack has a DI version try using that and then reamping in your DAW
