Dirk,
now that' strange; you write that you are my fan, but I too am an admirer of yours: how can that be?
Thank you for your advice about the reverb, but the problem is that my VA 7 has only 2 outputs (left and right) and usually I record drums and bass on the same track and from what you say I should be able not only to separate the bass from all the other instruments, but even the bass drum from other drums like snare, hi hat, cymbals, etc: I wonder if there is an arranger where one can do that (maybe my forthcoming SD1? ) Or maybe you mean that I should use less reverb in general (on all the instruments?)
Anyway, that't exactly the kind of advice I am looking for to improve my recordings: thank you from a big fan of yours!
Andrea
