Is it just me, or are all of the electric guitar RealTracks absolutely drenched in verb? It really makes it hard to make a dry recording.


Regards,

Bob

Which ones as an example?
Could it be coming from a plugin being used somewhere?

Bob, thanks for responding.

Example? Try any solo guitar- they are all soaking wet. No plugins active.

Isn't there a MIDI version of all the RT'S? I seem to remember hearing that there were.

Bob

don't forget, a lot of guitar RealTracks have a DI version - no effects added at all

you can see in the RealTracks picker which ones have a DI version

I have personaly more a problem with guitar tracks drenched in distortion than reverb
There are few distorted tones I like, in BIAB or elsewhere
The "gritty" ones are generally good however

No, not the ones I tried.

Again, check reverb in BiaB mixer (or other plugins).
Bob Calvert's idea to check for DI versions may suit you better, but I do not find them 'drenched in reverb' when listening to them raw, so something is likely adding it.

Try the 2574 guitar. No reverb in the mixer, yet it is swimming in it.

Yep. that one has a lot of reverb (I think intentional)
As mentioned above, check the box for DI (dry Direct Input) and it's pretty dry, no effects

Image below shows how to do it in RB, I'm sure BiaB has similar feature.
