Impulse Responses For Guitars

@orange I'm using an AXE-FXII, it's just amazing. Of course, you can load any IR you want (Fractal Audio also proposes CabLab, amazing too...)
What I particularly like is the Tone Match module: pick an acoustic guitar (or anything else) that you like, plug your electro-acoustic guitar, match, and voilà! No more piezo sound!
I use it sometimes when mixing a live recording. Recently, I significantly improved a double bass recorded with a piezo using this technique and a lovely double bass sound... -

Yeah, just, beyond time machine.

Yeah it sounds great on it too. It would be great if we could emulate that in Hise :)

@Lindon COSM and Kemper amps are very different consepts. COSM is a normal, classic style amp and it has it's own style, nothing more.
Kemper is a profiler amp, that means it can profile and sound like almost any amps in the world. It uses it's own weird technique and it is not like any other. It's been built by Christoph Kemper who is creator & founder of famous Access Music - Virus Synths. That machines are state of art too :) Especially Vİrus TI2, I have one.
Another a real state of art amp is "Fractal Audio produces the Axe-Fx" that is an awesome and unique tool too.
Yeah I have a virus too,...
You may be correct about Kemper - but you are WAAAAY wrong about COSM. COSM isnt an amp model, is a modelling engine, it offers me any number of guitar (and bass) amps. In the GP-10 out-of-the-box I have the following amps:
- Roland Jazz Chorus
- Marshal Hot lead
- Marshal (Classic)
- Mesa Boogie
- Vox AC 30
- Orange
- Fender Twin
- Fender Bassman
Theres quite a few more that I cant remember - there's another rectifier in there somewhere i think. All this before I tweak the amp model to be something more custom
Plus I get to decide which Guitar I want to play thru this Amp set up. Again out of the box I get
- Tele
- Strat
- Les Paul
- Rickenbacker
- Danelectro
- Gretch
- Gibson 335
- Banjo
- Acoustic Guitar
- analog synth (yeah really..)
- theres more again that I cant remember...
Further I get to decide how many and which pickups are attached (humbuckers, Ric, Single pole, lipstick, etc.) , worse I get to decide where on the body these are located , as I say anywhere from the classic bridge position to physically impossible positions like 10 cm from the nut.
After that i get to decide on what tuning I want to use , including 12-string versions.
So I can have a Rick 330/12 into an Orange Head into a Vox cab, and have an additional Gibson humbucker pickup placed at the neck position, and the whole thing tuned to CMaj. All being sent to my DAW thru an off-axis mic 12 cm from the middle of the cab....
Dont even get me started on the effects after that..

To the naysayers that said it couldn't be done without scriptnode...
Possibly THE proudest moment of my life, especially as a guitarist / plugin developer...
Ladies and gents, I just single-handedly built my first prototype guitar amp simulator... from scratch... in 6 hours!
I’m gonna spend some time getting the amp head modeling spot on, (proper gain staging, removing the mud, bigger fatter tones, better EQ, and basically making everything sound tighter), but for a first blast, I am pretty fucking chuffed with that!
You get the first demo reveal right here my HISE family.
To say I’m chuffed is a massive understatement! I hope Dimebag would be proud!
(I bet this is the first time you've ever heard Pantera - I’m Broken played in drop Bb... in one take)
Enjoy my friends!
100% built with the mighty HISE, with no scripting, or no scriptnode ;)

Bb, C where’s the difference really? ;)
I’d like to hear that tone without the song playing in the background.
-
The 'song' isn't playing in the background. Only the original isolated drum track, original vocal track (that I pitched down to Bb), and the bass track that I played in myself in drop Bb
mic drop
-
There are no other guitars playing other than mine. If you would like the backing track that I made and a demo video of it then I'd be more than happy to oblige, but thanks for your skepticism lol.
-
... and just FYI, the original is in D standard tuning, not C, or drop Bb ;) So quite a big difference.
-
As you can see in the first video, the 2 instances (the left and right armed tracks) of the guitars using my CHUGZ prototype are recording in real time as the video is being recorded, as 1 take, and all of the channels are named accordingly... just to save any confusion lol ;)
If you would like, send me your email address and I'll send you the prototype and you can try it for yourself. I'd appreciate the feedback.

Not that I need to prove myself, but just incase you wondered... here is the same video with just the guitar track
-
@SteveRiggs haha :)
Thanks mate!
-
@SteveRiggs Man that's just amazing! And you just picked the right song!
-
@SteveRiggs Now you got me working with Far Beyond Driven in the background... Didn't listen to it for ages
-
@ustk Thanks mate
Haha amazing!
-
Nice one ! Hope it does well for you.
-
Thanks dude. I’ll definitely be taking a bit of time over making it sound amazing before I ever think about releasing it. After using the Fortin Nameless suite, I wouldn’t want to put anything out that isn’t as good as that. Neural DSP have raised the bar there for sure! I have some hard work on my hands to match that haha.
-
Right on, at least you have a solid base to tinker with. Gonna show it to my buddy down the road, he's a Dimebag nutcase :D
-
Awesome
Thanks man! -
@SteveRiggs When capturing an impulse from something like an amp , do you use a "Tick" or a sweep ? And how do you deal with phase issues .i.e if there is latency on the capture and you mix it with the dry signal it will phase right ?
