Most of the Acoustic and Electric bass Soundsources recorded specifically for Trilian’s library are multi-channel, containing one channel for the Direct output of the bass pickup signal and another channel for the Microphone/Amplifier signal. Depending on the Soundsource, the different mics or cabinets used are referenced in the channel name. In some cases, the two channels are used for double-tracking basses (as in Trilogy’s Fretless section).
The Soundsource Mix section provides level faders for both channels. Mixing the two sources can have a strong affect on the sonic characteristics of the bass and how it sits in your mix. Certain basses will sound best favoring one channel or the other. Rarely does a 50/50 mix sound best.
Moving the faders to the left lowers the level, moving them to the right increases the level.
If you only want to hear one of the channels, e.g. the Direct signal, then simply move the level for the Mic channel all the way to the left.
