Capture your gear for free with TONEZONE3000

[staas]

Hmmmm ..... if (?) this is right ....... couldn't the person that "owns" or "runs" this TZ3000 just take a copy of each Capture made and sell or do as they wish with them ?

Or maybe (?) they have access to downtime / bandwidth on someone else's hardware with (?) or without (?) their knowledge (?)

Soooo I posted this and closed my computer, and was shocked by all the comments! Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback. Here are the answers to hopefully most of the questions:

Background: TONEZONE3000 was co-founded by me and my childhood friend Woody. We played in a band together and studied engineering at Georgia Tech. Our goal is to make capturing tones easy, accessible, and free :)

Funding: We are a part of a VC backed studio which allows access to some GPU resources. If TONEZONE3000 becomes a thing, we'll need to create a business plan (maybe a pro-tier?). Would love to hear what features you’d consider paying for! For now, everything is totally free!

GPUs: Your tones/models are trained in the cloud on RTX 4090s. We partnered with a handful of GPU providers for this.

File Storage: Your files are securely stored on Amazon S3, accessible only to you and those you share the link with. They are not visible to other TONEZONE3000 users, and we do not use them for any other purposes.

Privacy Policy / Terms: We launched TONEZONE3000 four weeks ago, without knowing if anyone would use it, so we didn’t prioritize a privacy policy or even an “About” page lmao. Now we’re working on a privacy policy and terms. Here’s the current draft but please let us know your feedback !!!

1. You own your models and audio files. TONEZONE3000 does not own them and does not have the right to sell them.
2. TONEZONE3000 may use the data for research and to improve our services.

One example of this is our new feature called "Best Fit." With "Best Fit," you get the same ESR faster without sacrificing quality. You can read more about it here: https://tonezone3000.com/best-fit

Another Stealth/TPA capture, this time with gain at noon.

You got a tone called Stealth Blue Tpa High Gain created by AlexKenivel.

I'm not the OP, but having read many of the FAQ answers elsewhere, eg. a post in the NAM Fb group...
this is my understanding of the situation:

1. How is this free?
TZ3k is a venture-backed studio, which allows and affords them to offer free GPU resources to the community.
Eventually, if demand grows too big then it would be time for them to figure out a business plan of sorts.

2. What happens to my uploaded files and generated models?
Your files are securely stored on Amazon S3, accessible only to you and those you share the link with. They are not visible to other TZ3 users, and are not used for any other purposes.

3. Will there be a written date policy / tos / eula etc...
Yep, I believe this is planned.
Until then, see (2).

Are the files downloadable?

Are the files downloadable?

Yep. They train until finished and appear on the "your tones" page, where you can download or share the link to download

Awesome. Thanks!

 

[Alex Kenivel]

Awesome. Thanks!

No problem, it's super simplified. I'm sure you'll be up and running in no time knowing the gear you have. The real work is routing cables.

Are the files downloadable?

Yes, you can absolutely capture a tone and train a NAM model on TONEZONE3000 for free. You can then download it to sell, share, or use however you like :)

Tonocracy style capture using open source standard profiles.

@staas is there a way to change the description of "Your Tones" after the fact?

Not yet! But I am literally designing that now :) Here's a screenshot

While you're at it, consider renaming it to Toanzone.

Anyone else had this happen?

Hey are you having log in problems with Tonezone? Or something else?

Sorry, Tonezone
I have now sent email as per staas above so it’s probably all good soon.

I had to use my PC to use the link as it all had to be in the same browser

Hi all, has anyone tried using Tonezone (dry/wet) with a piezo transducer (dry), mic'd acoustic guitar (wet)? A bit the same principle as acoustic guitar IR, but...maybe better?

Thanks! That worked for me too.

I have not, but I'd be interested to hear the result.

try it and share a link to the tone from tonezone3000 here so we can listen to it!
