Thanks Noriuky73. Well, I probably won't have drums - think more like a string trio of two guitars and bass, or just a duo of guitars, like in Art Music. For example, this recording:
All is audible to me, although yes I would like it to be less remote sounding. Still, there seems a bit of room between them, no? Less gain will not do. I will not play the instrument (you know, as much I do play....hmh hmh hmh). Also, I'm mostly not noodling; I'm composing chromatic music improvisationally, arguably with some success.
@Kriig: the gate on my Axe tones is almost strictly at -65, 2.89, 1ms, 100ms, input Z: auto. Those last two I think I inserted another gate just after the amp, but pretty light settings. (Taboo tones the HUSH is set at -50; goes down to -27.) Ideally, I want no attack, more like a piano hammer striking a string.
@Cliff: thanks for chiming in. I think the issue is my conception and preference of timbre. Lots of good sounding recordings here, mix-wise, but when the guitar sits by itself - for example here: http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-f...d-my-bands-ep-free-ffo-flames-gates-tbdm.html - it just sounds ugly as hell to me. I can't play the instrument when it sounds like that. So I'm always trying to get rid of that stuff. I don't even really like the last two octaves on the piano, because I can hear the strings when struck, versus a toning sound in the lower five octaves. The bass end of the keyboard can depend.
The last Axe clip I posted is a favored one....although here is another, different one I'm pretty fond of, too.
