Question
Shroud
There's a bunch of CDLCs for 5-strings bass such as Toto's "Pamela" and Billy Joel's "We didn't start the fire". I am not even sure if RS currently supports 5-strings bass, and because I only own 4-strings, I can't really verify it. Anyway, I think these CDLCs normally have custom tuning on bass, with all strings tuned down as if they were the first 4 strings of a 5-string?
So how do you normally play those CDLCs with a 4-string? Do you really tune it down that much? Doesn't it make the strings wobble a lot under such low tension? Is it just better to give up and buy a 5-string?
Originally I though people used the pitch shifter in CFSM, but then I found out that it doesn't work on bass, or more precisely it does work but it always applies to the bass whatever shift should be applied to the lead guitar path, so unless the guitar part is for a 7-string then it would never shift the bass correctly.
