Thanks a lot. I checked it out and downloaded the free trial. It's EXACTLY what I was describing. Unfortunately, it wasn't the magic fix I was hoping for(It actually took me further away tonewise). I guess the positive news is Im gonna get more practice at decerning freqs by ear.
Btw, mettelus is 100% right in that most of my problems are self induced thru inconsistent distances(and sometimes slightly varying gain levels). But Im on a QUEST to try and get away with as loose & stress-free a workflow as possible. I actually get off on making each process as quick, consistent and easy as I can. I wanna be able to jump between tracks and punch in audio as if it were midi. Even if it means sacrificing a bit of sound quality. Flow, speed and consistency are more important to me.
That said, Ive also been checking out acoustic IRs in place of micing. I hate that I have to be super mindful of micing distance and angle. It takes some of the joy out it for me and stiffens my performance a bit. When I play guitar, I naturally move my body. Stiffness and thought are the enemies
Im even searching for an auto-strummer that attaches to my guitar so I can rest my right hand.
(Yeah, that one's a joke 😊)
