You can also use the Bass Amp for experimental sound design. You may freely use the

plug-in on other instruments, as desired—applying the sonic character of a bass amp

to a vocal or drum part, for example.

Nine different amplifier models can be accessed via the Model pop-up menu at the top

of the Bass Amp interface:

• American Basic: American bass amp model from the 1970’s, equipped with eight 10’’

speakers. Well suited for blues and rock recordings.

• American Deep: Based on American Basic amp model, with strong lower mid

frequency (from 500 Hz on) emphasis. Well suited for reggae and pop recordings.

• American Bright: Based on the American Basic setting, this setting massively

emphasizes the upper mids (from 4.5 kHz).

• American Scoop: Based on American Basic amp model, the American Scoop setting

combines the frequency characteristics of the American Deep and American Bright,

with both low mid (from 500 Hz) and upper mid (from 4.5 kHz) frequencies

emphasized. Well suited for funk and fusion recordings.

• New American Basic: American bass amp model from the 1980’s, well suited for

blues and rock recordings.

• New American Bright: Based on the New American Basic model, this setting strongly

emphasizes the frequency range above 2 kHz. Well suited for rock and heavy metal.

• Top Class DI Warm: Famous DI box simulation, well suited for reggae and pop

recordings. Mids, in the broad frequency range between 500 and 5000 Hz, are de-

emphasized.

• Top Class DI Deep: Based on the Top Class DI Warm model, this setting is well suited

for funk and fusion: its mid frequency range is strongest around 700 Hz.

• Top Class DI Mid: Based on the Top Class DI Warm model, this setting does not

emphasize any frequencies, but features a more or less linear frequency range. It is

suitable for blues, rock, and jazz recordings.

At the top of the slider section, you will find the Pre Gain control, used to set the pre-

amplification level of the input signal.

Directly below this slider, you will find the Low, Mid, and High controls. Use these

sliders to adjust the bass, mid, and treble levels as desired. The additional Mid

Frequency control allows you to adjust the center frequency of the mid band between

200 Hz and 3000 Hz.

The Output Level slider serves as a final level control for the Bass Amp output.

New Enhance Timing Effect

The GarageBand 2 audio track editor (Real Instrument tracks) includes a new Enhance

Timing slider that non-destructively enhances the timing of audio recordings. This

capability is now available to Logic Pro 7.1 users in the form of the Enhance Timing

plug-in.
