TONEX -Software-to-Hardware Input Gain Fix- from J.S

[BenIfin]

Please see the video below from J.S.

The current biggest problem when using Tonex Software to set up your Tonex Pedal sounds, is the Input Gain mis-match.

J.S has just made, and made available for free, a set of custom demo-play-D.I files so when you are in the software, if your Tonex Pedal Input Trim works best, at say, +5db, then you can demo the Software sounds with D.I files that are recorded at +5db ... so once you tweak the sound in the software and load it to the pedal it will sound identical other than any minor analog i/o differences between your audio device and the Tonex hardware analog i/o.

For Tonex users this is actually quite a simple but brilliant way to fix the software-hardware Input Gain mismatch.

If you are a Tonex Pedal user, this is a must watch and a must [free] get.

It’s a shame that someone like Sadites, who is or was at some point, paid by IK for promoting their products, had to come up with such a hack, workaround, or whatever you want to call it, to insure proper input gain across capture, software, and devices.

I thought he said there wasn't a problem? Am I imagining that?

Nope.

There are two [actually three] problems to solve with Tonex - and NAM .... "Gain issues"

Firstly, what the correct/best Global Input Trim for your Guitar should be set to for the hardware device itself - not hard to do, but can be confusing to some.

Secondly ... knowing at what Level was the Capture you are buying [or make] was done at - most pack providers now provide this.

Thirdly ... and this is the new fix ..... with Tonex [and NAM when / if we see more pedals] matching the software preset creation Input Trim to the Hardware Pedal Global Input Trim ... this way you can use one of his new multi-db-range "demo D.I files" to demo / test / create a preset on Tonex software, and load it into the Tonex Pedal ... and its gain structure will sound the same with your guitar .... this free pack from J.S now makes this much easier to do

As the pround new owner of a tonex one this thread is both topical and relevant to my interests.
Much abliged.
