Track Doubling
In a recording studio, guitar tracks are often doubled as another way
to enhance the stereo image, and to produce a richer sound. To do
this, the guitar player must record the same track twice onto two se-
parate tracks, which are panned left and right.
Virtual Guitarist doesn’t need two recordings to achieve this. Simply
activate the Doubling switch and, as if by magic, two guitar players
will play in unison.
The doubling feature is not a DSP effect like the stereo width feature
because Virtual Guitarist literally plays back two different tracks. This
means that the doubling produced by Virtual Guitarist sounds exactly
the same as the conventional, but more cumbersome, doubling method.
Be careful not to overdose on stereo width and doubling. It might be
tempting to let each guitar track sound rich and fat, but it can lead to a
bad final mix.
Latch Mode
With latch mode On, Virtual Guitarist will play Parts continuously from
the moment you play the first key until you press the stop button in
your host application or play the A# (Latch on/off) remote key.
If you only want to play a lick here and there, set latch mode to Off and
Virtual Guitarist 2 will only play while the keys on your MIDI keyboard
are held.
