Impulse Responses For Guitars
-
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 ?

I think its going to be very very difficult to capture a convincing single impulse response for an amp - its a non-linear system varying by signal strength and frequency.... so a sweep might help with frequency response but not signal strength.(gain)..

@lalalandsynth I usually use a sweep. I've not found any issues with phase so far capturing my 5150. I'm going to experiment some more with it.
This plugin has been pushed down the priority list a little as I have 4 others in line first but I'll be getting back to it very soon :)
The tick method should work just as well though, from the videos I've seen on it.
