The only thing I question is that when you said that even when you are using the RealTracks and Drums you edit the feel and correct bass lines in your DAW. Do you mean that you edit the generated waveforms by slicing them up and moving them around so that they hit at the right time…

That's exactly what I'm saying.

You can see that in this video. It started with a couple of live guitars but the client wanted it in a different key. I found that _OLDBOPSTY had the sounds I wanted but everything was straight 4/4 when I needed a few bars in 6/4 and there was no syncopation in the drum part. You'll see the metronome at the top and my edits in DP. The bass and piano do have some nice hits vis a vis the drums so I edited the 5 tracks to match the original parts but based my timing on the drums leaving the other four in the same relative position. I did stretch the piano and bass to cover silences that would have been obvious had I not done so You can't see which were stretched, likewise, you can't tell which bass notes were pitch-corrected.



I later transposed the original guitars which matched perfectly. They sound weird on their own so they are mixed low. My co-producer played a more conventional lead guitar but the client hasn't heard it—he loved the BIAB track, however (I'm fine either way). Since I made this video to demonstrate BIAB, none of that is included nor the vocals.
