Probably sounds better than half of the 2203 captures on TONE.NET huh?I just captured my JCM800 2203 patch from Fractal, which I realize is modeler inception to a degree. But being able to record a DI track and apply stuff after the fact (in the absence of a Fractal plugin) is quite cool. Plus, I can use those tones on my..........lowly iPad with Logic.
How would you use other IR’s when there aren’t any amp-only captures?
You can remove the cabs right? It just isn't the greatest via that method
Thus proving that our genius is not in our tools, but how we apply them.
I mean, in terms of what I’ve found, yeah. That goes back to the issue of finding good captures. I looked through a ton of SLO and JCM800 caps, didn’t find any I really liked. So I did captures myself, of my SLO and JCM800 patches.
You mean just turn them off in the editor on the preset or under global settings?
I think they sound good but similar has been on ToneNET for awhile with my JEL100.
That is bizarre.
I use your 5150 captures in Tonex and they are great! I highly recommend them.His criticisms of IK and UA are unwarranted especially when there’s plenty of warranted stuff on the table.
My ToneX captures are still hit and miss and they take 30-35 mins a pop (with a 3090 gpu) whilst NAM remains perfect 95% of the time. They also don’t have any kind of batch processing and a few creature comforts that NAM has caught up on. I did about 20-30 captures reamping the NAM file through an amp, exporting the files then uploading for batch processing and checking it an hour later. In comparison to do 2 ToneX captures I had to sit and wait for it to finish before I could do the next one.
I don’t find it enjoyable to dunk on things but it’s kind of disappointing to see the lack of advancement in these areas from IK. They’ve clearly made tons of revenue off this product and it’s been out for years. It’s kind of baffling how capturing is still so rudimentary, time consuming and a crap shoot on results. These are all probably simple things to fix but nothing has advanced.
*Edit*
I still recommend their pedal for people wanting a cheap way into this kind of thing. If I was just a player looking for a pedal it’s good enough to do the job and extremely affordable. Again, it’s just annoying that contributing to this ecosystem is a bit of a punish and results are so/so. If my results were consistently good and they had batch processing I’d be 2 feet deep into it, I just want them to do better
I was writing, but better did this screencapture, please forgive me for the bad EVH chops but the screencapture software gave me horrible latency while recording. Volume was not match either as you can hear there is a discrepancy with the captured cab and the IR.
May be inception -esque, but it still sounds really freaking good!I just captured my JCM800 2203 patch from Fractal, which I realize is modeler inception to a degree. But being able to record a DI track and apply stuff after the fact (in the absence of a Fractal plugin) is quite cool. Plus, I can use those tones on my..........lowly iPad with Logic.
I moreso meant the use of Tone X in general
Although Tone X gets a little too much hate here. I think it's pretty cool and sounds good
I still think it's lost that you can snag the Tone X One for $150 and for us here on the digital forum, throw it in the loop of a digital unit we already have. I think it would be a cool companion for the FM9 or FM3
