Test your ears! Helix or ???

[aaron aardvark]

I put a new song in my music website called "Clear to See" (it's the song on top). Some parts of the song use Helix guitar amp modeling, and other parts use Tonex guitar amp modeling. Can you tell which is which? Please tell me how you like the song, and how it can be improved, and I will return the favor (leave me a link if you don't have a recent thread). Here is my link:

This is the guy who posted on other forums mainly to spam his own songs under the premise "check out if you can tell which is which", then usually disappears.

Hahahahahah I thought that named looked familiar when I approved it.

I wonder if that bait/switch tactic has provided any benefit over the years? I won’t ban the account now, I’m fine with TGF handling this however TGF wants to.

I could barely hear the guitars on the first and only track I listened to. Had a Devo if Flea played bass vibe. Good in theory but not a style I naturally gravitate towards if the song isn't grabbing me in the first place. Guitar tone was probably 137th down the list as far as things so zero idea if it was the Helix or ToneX.

Whenever I see a new member with a link being their first post, I write them off. Home chicken will get plenty of clicks from TOP.

Oh come on now, you're gonna pull that crap here, too? At least chat us up a bit? buy us some dinner or a few drinks before trying to fuck us in the earhole with whatever you're pushing this week?

Ironically, the thing LEAST likely to get me to listen to some tracks in 2025 is a "guess what modeler (or not?!?) was used?" A-Aron A-Ardvark's strategy is about as dated as his skit

I Remember this damn guy from like the Harmony central
Tried to make me test my ears with Roland COSM way too many times , I am out

Remember that guy relentlessly spamming Boss patches all over the forums years back? I wonder if he will find his way here

Here are the answers: Helix was used for guitar amp modeling for the lead guitar, and Tonex was used for the rhythm guitars. OK, fine, I won't post threads like this on this exact forum anymore. I wasn't expecting such a negative response.

Some friendly advice: If you want people to listen to your music, just say so. Don't try to deceive people by making up a story that it's a listening test.

 

[aaron aardvark]

I am not deceiving anyone. Other people like these tests. I am not forcing anyone to read my posts or listen to my music. If people are not interested in posts like this, they should just ignore them. If I attacked everyone's posts that don't interest me, I would just be wasting my life and needlessly spreading negativity. It was only my first post here. I hope people will be more friendly on other forums here. Otherwise I will go elsewhere where people are more polite.

You have gotten the same feedback over at TGP as well, maybe take it to heart.

Correct. We see right through it. You've been doing the same thing for years. It's okay, you can be human here.
