post your tone

jcoote

post a sample of your tone or your mad soun effects that u want people to give opinions on here..samples to follow

LundiMardi

i can post samples of sound effects, but they're not 'my tone', they're just what i have to live with at the moment until i buy 'my tone':)

jcoote

thats what i'm talkin bout

LundiMardi

fair enough, i might have a little time later, but it won't be anything special. I'll just highlight the qualities of amplitube, as i'm not using an amp at the minute.

But feel free to get the ball rolling, i can't listen though, no sound on this work pc:(

david

I've a crazy oscillation sound clip here somewhere... I was just showing what my modded DS-1 can do with the Echo Park...

feylya

I have that old clip of my playing through my DS-1. Dreadful dreadful playing though. Here

I'll probably take it down later though.

david

Heres a clip of me dicking around with my echo park at the end of some song i recorded ages ago. The recording latency of desperate on the original track so i decided to save myself the embarrasment and just give ya's the oscillation at the end.

Wow, very very sci-fi.

Ravelleman

Hehe. Sounds like Hawkwind.

Indeed. I just messed around with random knobs, im gonna do that at a gig sometime...

Moral of the story: Buy an Echo Park!

NotMe

I just recorded myself playing some Black Flag and Oxymoron. And for a bit of variety some surf

I recorded these with the mic on my iRiver so the sound quality isn't too good. :rolleyes:

Nice Johnny Ramone-type sound there on the first one. (and that IS a compliment, BTW)

jcoote

here's my dist\flanger

david

The sound quality is sh1te with that john. Is it just the MP3 encoding or did you use a PC mic or summat?

jcoote

sorry theses should be better

Well I do love the Ramones so I'd take it as a compliment either way

Theyre all dead for me

they all work for me dave...try copy and pasting the addresses

david

Ah, you used backslashes instead of forward slashes in the link destinations.

http://members.boards.ie/jcoote/mental1.zip works for me...

jcoote

ahha

jcoote

like tha osc dave good way to end a show

david

Haha yeah... How did you record your samples? Sounds like you mic'd it... You should run the XLR outs of your flextone into yer soundcard, record and compress the wavs into 192kbps or higher for the best recording..

jcoote

used the mic socket on the flex tone but lower the kbps to reduce size

david

Mic socket? You mean the XLR out? Hmm... youre doing something wrong because that recording sounds really faint. I managed to get decent enough tone with the recording i posted with just an MG100dfx mic'd up

LundiMardi

I have 3 samples if anyone would care to host them for me? I have no where to put them:(

jcoote

get hosting on boards..maybe i had the output too high on the amp..u get the idea anyway i dunno

david

Hmm my boards hosting doesnt let me upload mp3's... Sign up for geocities free

jcoote

lets u zip them tho

LundiMardi

how do you zip them?

jcoote

use winzip or something and just make a new zip file

winzip.com is the website

LundiMardi

Cool thanks,

Well here ya go, 3 small samples. All played using an Epiphone Goldtop played through an mBox using Amplitube for effects.

Clean - as it says on the tin, no effects at all.

Dirty - Slightly distorted crunchy sound

Heavyish - Distortion (and possibly a small preview of my band if the rest like it. )


Clicky 2mb

I would have miced up my amp for ya's, but it's an MG, so why waste everyone's time eh? :rolleyes:

I hope to be getting a new amp soon though with the cool pedals too

-=al=-

its jus some sample thing i done for a pickup, nothin special, but its my lead tone anyways, i posted a diff link in another thread but it died, and i duno what to do, so this is under 100kb so there ya go.....

Zapp Brannigan

LINKY

Me, playing a bass solo by Stu Hamm. This is my tone achieved through a Musicman and a BodXT.

feylya

Hee, that's pretty good playing The tone is fairly spot on too!

Zapp Brannigan

Thank you Feylya, thats very nice of you.

jcoote

slurms and -=al=- really diggin them tones well done lads...nice technique al

Beecher

Hope this link works Clickity (New clip which is in key)

The distortion is a ds-1 being d.i'd into cubase through a simple 8 channel desktop mixing desk. The clean is d'i'd into cubase dry though the mixing desk with a little reverb applied after, and the drums are programmed from groove agent.

-=al=-

Thx id post somethin better or longer, but i had nowhere to get a link, yousendit never works for me >=( im gettin a posxt next week too!

jcoote

just get hosting here and zip your files...u can send up to 5 meg!! was that a podxt al

Cool, didnt know u could do that, i thought there wud be a 100kb limit on file sizes... and nope i didnt record that with a pod,

and it was recorded through audacity with jus a laptop hooked up with a 10 yr old pc mic! ...well the sound was coming from a tsl100

thats why im gettin tha pod tho, mainly for recordin,

Sorry for the brutal playin im tired as fck

its a PoD 2.0 btw

Rozie

Well, I suppose this can't hurt

Down the end where it says "free".

I'll let you guess for yourselves what I'm using. Anyway, it's all in one bit 5 1/2 minute long song, so you'll need to skip through it unless you like listening to this sort of thing(I actually do).

Voodu Child

Dude, theres something seriously wrong with the distorted bit...im not commenting on your playing, but the level going in to whatever youre using to record is set far to high...have you tried using a limiter or compressor?

Rozie

There is a compressor on it...

You're obviously not very familiar with the Fuzz Factory. I love that tone. It's a bit too rough, I've since found one that's similiar but a little smoother. Sounds great with Chorus. I'll try dropping the gain a little. I'm guessing you're used to amp distortion so it probably comes as a shock to your ears :P

That noise is being cause by high gain, feed pitchback, high compresser, and reasonably high gate. That causes the cackly noises. If the input volume was messing it up, the phaser wouldn't sound as smooth as it does.

"the level going in to whatever youre using to record is set far to high..." that could also be another way of saying "The gain is turned up too high..." as they both cause the same thing, essentially. Was using a 70 euro mic too. That's the tone I heard while playing. Nuts, isn't it?

I love my Fuzz Factory. I can't wait until I find my definitive tone with it.

And yeah, my playing was probably **** as I was thinking desperately what to do to demonstrate my new "tone" :P

Listen to Muse, and you'll recognise a lot of the stuff, though not as Trebley.

Voodu Child

The level going into your recording device was too high. Nothing to do with gain.
You were overoading the recorder. In my opinion of course. Again this is not a critisicm of your playing, just a simple pointer, take it or leave it.

Rozie

I'm not saying you're criticising my playing, I'm just saying that the Fuzz Factory causes that kind of noise on it's own, and that's the noise I heard and chose while playing. If it had been an issue with input levels, the phaser effect would have been broken up and distorted as well as the original tone. Gain is generally caused by clipping, which is what you get with input levels set too high too. So there are times when you won't be able to tell the difference.
Just a bit of education.

The Treble *is* set too high though.

Yeah, thanks very much, you know it all kiddo...you wont be getting any more advice from me...i see why you dont think tone comes from your fingers btw...

Rozie

Touchy

I'm sorry, I just think I know the Fuzz Factory a little better than you do, owning one and semi-knowing Zachary Vex online and all that.

I don't think tone comes from your fingers, because that's not what I or many others define tone as. You can change the sound by the way you play, but the tone comes generally from your setup.

My keyboard would tend to agree with me, as I select different "tones" with a menu, and my playing style doesn't appear to change them unless I set it up to do so with aftertouch or an envelope activated filter(if I had one :P).
Another word for tone is "timbre".

Playing style *does* affect your tone in terms of how loud or hard you play, but it's not something magical in the fingers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timbre

Will explain it better than I can.

But yeah, tone doesn't come from your fingers. You can affect it with your fingers by how hard you play, but it doesn't "come" from your fingers, it comes from your instrument.

People here self admitedly stick to a guitar and an amp, maybe a wah, maybe a distortion pedal. I don't mean to be a snob, but I have picked up a lot posting on forums where people are really into their sound.

Rozie if you spent more time defining your tone with a decent technique rather than what pedals you use then maybe you wouldn't suck soo much ass.

Sorry to tell you, but you are not a very good guitarist and you have the wrong idea of what makes a good guitarist.

And i don't see how the **** you can say you know something more than voodoo child when you don't even know him :rolleyes:

Rozie

Rozie if you spent more time defining your tone with a decent technique rather than what pedals you use then maybe you wouldn't suck soo much ass.

Maybe if you spent more time working on your own music, and less demeaning others for the music they make, you'd be a whole lot better too.

And why are you still clinging to the definition of tone I just proved wrong in my last post?

Sorry to tell you, but you are not a very good guitarist and you have the wrong idea of what makes a good guitarist.

That is your opinion, not fact. Plus, you are attacking me as a musician, and therefore my person, not my music. I'm bemused as to how you can tell that from two or three recordings where I only played backing guitar in a messy stoner jam, and one recording where the purpose of most of the noises I made where to show the full range of my tone, though at least I showed I could play some lead parts, which can be hard when you're trying to do the above.

What is your idea of what makes a "good guitarist"? Someone that knows how to play lots of other people's songs, perhaps? Enlighten me.

There is no right or wrong definition for how to play a block of wood with strings, and it is extremely pretentious of you to claim there is a specific model of what makes a good guitarist.

If I am not a good guitarist, then why have I gotten quite a bit of support from a forum which is made up of guitarists which are no doubt much more experienced than the ones from here? At least somebody enjoyed my music.

The only things that can possibly make a good guitarist are creativity, being able to entertain, and most importantly, keeping true to your own style instead of changing it for people who don't have a clue what they're talking about.

Sorry to tell you, but you are not a very good guitarist and you have the wrong idea of what makes a good guitarist.

And i don't see how the **** you can say you know something more than voodoo child when you don't even know him

Just enjoying quoting people when they contradict themselves within one sentence. And I'm sorry, but the likelyhood is that he *doesn't* have a Fuzz Factory, and therefore wouldn't understand the types of noises it makes.

Since you attacked me as a "Bad" musician, when there isn't even a real definition for what one is other than one that entertains, which I have done, I am entitled to criticise you as a pretentious one.
