The sound of a baritone guitar isn’t something you can get by simply tuning a standard guitar down a perfect fourth. The lower tension on the strings ends up sounding thin and lacking in sustain, not to mention introducing problematic tuning drift where notes start sharp and go flat as they decay. Baritone guitars solve this with a longer scale length, which not only addresses the tuning issue but also provides a heartier sustain and fuller tone.
In addition to having this extra long scale length, the guitar we recorded for Evolution Baritone Electric was equipped with lipstick pickups, a unique type of single-coil pickup known for their articulate, glassy tone. Their naturally scooped mid frequencies make lipstick pickups an ideal pairing for baritone guitars, alleviating muddiness while providing a pure bass response and crisp highs. We recorded the bridge and neck pickups as separate signals which can be blended together for a wide range of tones: anything from the classic twang of the bridge pickup to the warm, woody sound of the neck pickup.
We developed the library in collaboration with Rosewood Recording Company, one of Utah's most venerable recording studios. Guy Randle, the owner and recording engineer at Rosewood Recording Company, incorporated analog audio equipment to skillfully sculpt and emphasize the rich tonal qualities of the baritone guitar. Evolution Baritone Electric includes both the as-recorded signal as well as an enhanced signal that can be blended to your taste.
Evolution Baritone Electric is based on our Evolution engine, which provides you with a wealth of appointments: a flexible mapping system, chords and strumming patterns, and a comprehensive collection of built-in effects for mix-ready baritone guitar tones.
The library includes many ready-to-use factory presets for a variety of classic and modern baritone guitar tones, from the classic combination of tremolo and splashy spring reverb to dreamy, ambient soundscapes. Not to mention the legendary Nashville tic-tac sound, the layering of an upright bass with a palm muted baritone guitar (or Bass VI).
低音吉他的声音不是简单地将标准吉他调低四度就能得到的。琴弦张力越低，声音就越薄，而且缺乏延音，更不用说引入了有问题的调音漂移，音符开始时尖锐，衰减时变得平淡。低音吉他通过更长的音阶长度解决了这个问题，这不仅解决了调音问题，而且还提供了更强劲的延音和更饱满的音色。
除了拥有这种超长的音阶长度外，我们为 Evolution Baritone Electric 录制的吉他还配备了唇膏拾音器，这是一种独特的单线圈拾音器，以其清晰的玻璃音色而闻名。它们自然凹陷的中频使唇膏拾音器成为低音吉他的理想搭配，可缓解浑浊，同时提供纯净的低音响应和清脆的高音。我们将琴桥和琴颈拾音器录制为单独的信号，可以将它们混合在一起以产生各种音调：从琴桥拾音器的经典拨弦到琴颈拾音器的温暖木质声音。
我们与犹他州最负盛名的录音室之一 Rosewood Recording Company 合作开发了该音色库。Rosewood Recording Company 的老板兼录音工程师 Guy Randle 采用了模拟音频设备，巧妙地塑造和强调了男中音吉他的丰富音质。Evolution Baritone Electric 既包括录制信号，也包括可以根据您的喜好进行混合的增强信号。
Evolution Baritone Electric 基于我们的 Evolution 引擎，该引擎为您提供了丰富的功能：灵活的映射系统、和弦和弹奏模式，以及用于混音男中音吉他音色的全面内置效果集合。
该音色库包含许多现成的工厂预设，适用于各种经典和现代男中音吉他音色，从经典的颤音和飞溅的弹簧混响组合到梦幻般的环境音景。更不用说传奇的纳什维尔 tic-tac 声音，即立式低音提琴与闷音男中音吉他（或 Bass VI）的层叠演奏。 |
