On my way to work this morning I was thinking about my last thread (https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=35029) on achieving a good recording tone. Thanks everyone for the replies - I have my homework to do and would appreciate help along the way in understanding better how to achieve it. Most notably, learning which effect affects the signal in which way - e.g. how do things like compression affect the sound audibly, not techicnally (I know what it does).
I thought it might be interesting to start a "Tone-Lab" thread. The challenge is this: Ultimate Guitar forum has a VST Plugin Guide stickied that I think would be fun to piggy back off of for learning and experimenting with Plugin tones. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/showt...d.php?t=1131250 In that thread is a riff already recorded in dry-tone (no effects, just straight line in). If you'd like to take the challenge, see what kinds of metal tones you can generate from that file and post your results including what plugins, effects and settings you used to get that tone. The audio files are here: https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/371262/ThrashTest.rar Christian A. ------------------------------------------------------------- Results to date: ------------------------------------------------------------- Guitar Rig 4 (uploaded by ozRob) Lead left: Puppetmaster Lead right: YNGW Rhy Left: Dual Ultra Rhy Right: Dual Riff Sonic maximizer globally File: Guitar Rig 4 Notes: imported into daw, added G4 presets, BBE globally.
