Kenny duplicates the bass track for this. I'm inclined to send as I can make timing etc changes to the original and not have to repeat them
Ray, thanks for diving deep with me on this; there's much craft here to learn. I like Kenny, and on my path to finding Studio One I dabbled with Reaper for a few months and watched a bunch of his videos. He's a walking library and Reaper is a strong DAW. If I understand what you are saying, I agree in staying with just a single bass track.
Here is my current signal flow with the exception of the compression and limiting which I'm not currently doing but am learning that maybe I should. I need to read up/experiment on this more to determine exactly where in the chain to insert these, hence the question marks.
[Side Bar: Byron, when I asked you to produce a system block diagram, this format of a diagram is what I had in mind for you to produce to explain your evidence that RealPlayer extracts audio.]
