Fret Buzz
Depending on the setup of the bass and the playing style, the strings
might touch the frets causing a buzzing or rattling sound. In Virtual
Bassist you can adjust the amount of buzz in your bass. The right dose
of Buzz will enhance the natural feel of your bass tracks.
Fret Noise
When a bassist moves from one hand position to another the hand
slides over the strings and frets creating a squeaking sound. This fret
noise is an important part of a natural bass sound – a fact often ig-
nored in bass emulations. Virtual Bassist gives you control over the
amount of fret noise in your bass track. Select Mid for a little, Full for a
lot or Off to completely remove fret noises from the track.
Compression, Drive, Master
These three knobs can also be found on the Amp & FX page. Since
these three controls are very useful for changing the sound of your
bass, for your convenience they are also available on the Play page.
The Compression control varies the Amount control on the effect
board’s compressor. Drive raises the gain of the preamp and Master
the master volume of the amplifier’s output.
