Here's another Vai try, a bit of help from the Line 6 Helix forum. Stock cabs here.
Any tips? I think I need to back off the treble a bit https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/ftlog-2 Cheers UPDATE: Treble and presence backed off slightly, different mic and position. I need one of those string dampers  https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/ftlog-3 This post has been edited by Phil66: May 1 2017, 08:33 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

You're in the territory thats for sure, to me if you really want to nail it using a backing track would help.

Thanks, Mertay is definitely sounding a bit more organic to me. When I get chance I'm going to try an ir.

Yeah thanks Mertay,
I think it's close enough to be recognisable, it's been good to get to know the basics of the LT. One thing I noticed when doing this is that when played back in reaper, if I turn the volume up it sounds like it has more treble and even more so after rendering to mp3.

Thanks Mertay,
I always have my peaks at -6db. Also it sounds brighter just straight from Reaper BEFORE rendering. If I playback at the same level as recorded (using ears as gauge for level) it sounds the same but if I move the slider up, still not clipping, it sounds brighter. It maybe be an acoustic illusion though I guess. Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Just to clarify, you are recording the guitar as near 0 db as possible then decreasing right?

No buddy, I set my input level so the meter goes to -6db. I've done this since you said something to me about "getting to a more healthy -6db" back when I was first seeing up my SM57 and trying to get levels to record workout blowing my windows out. I bought my Presonus mic preamp to sort that. Maybe I misunderstood what you meant

The human ear is more sensitive to high frequencies at higher volumes. It's called the Fletcher-Munson effect. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:
