Don’t forget I’m French.
It is not always simple for me to go into deep details😉.
I’ll try my best.

    I’ve noticed you using a variety of different NAM amp captures lately. Question about input levels: does each capture take the same input level? How do you go about setting your guitar input level to get the most out of each capture in regards to sound quality and response to dynamics? I’ve tried lots of different captures and a lot seem off and I think it might be due to my input either being too hot or low.
    Thanks for the topic! 🤙

  • floflo

    My pleasure.
    To be fair,I don’t think too much about these things.
    If it feels good under my fingers,if the feel is good,then I go for it.
    I never touch the input level on my sound card.
    I know there are a lot of videos on that subject,but I don’t really care about them😉.
    Often,things are much simpler than we think.
    Trust your ears and your fingers😉.
    Thanks.

    What guitar would you recommend for a beginner ?

    I can’t really answer to that question,without knowing more about your tastes.
    There are a lot of cheap guitars today ,that can
    do the job easily.
    It depends on what you’re after.
    Very important thing:Set it up the right way😉.
    Thanks.

    How do I get the tremelo effect like The Smith’s “How Soon Is Now?” using only Garageband iOS Amp and Pedals?

    Sorry,I don’t know that song.
    This thread was more about gear,or playing,in a general way.
    Sorry.
    Thanks.

    There are so many.
    Santana,David Gilmour,Gary Moore,pat Metheny,Steve Lukather,Joe Satriani,and many ,many others.
    But more than guitar players,music matters to me😉.

    According to this article: https://www.guitarworld.com/features/the-secrets-behind-johnny-marrs-tone-on-the-smiths-how-soon-is-now
    Running through multiple tremolos, set to different rates, is key.

    “Next, he and producer John Porter re-amped the rhythm guitar track into four Twin Reverb amps, all with the tremolo effect engaged. The key to the pulsating rhythm is to set the first amp’s tremolo speed to about 125 bpm then run it into a second amp with the tremolo speed set to about 375 bpm to generate a bouncing triplet pattern that pulsates in a somewhat random manner.

    Those same tremolo settings are duplicated with amps three and four, with amps one and two panned to the left and amps three and four panned right to create a stereo spread. The amps’ reverb provides sustain that accentuates the pulsing tremolo effects.”

    What plugins do you use other than NAM XT? Do you use AUM as a host? And do you use NAMxt for loading IRs or something like Thafknar?

    I’m trying to run a similar setup to yours with pedals into interface into iPad, with some effects and out again from the interface into post amp effects (reverb and delay pedals) finally into the speaker system.

    Thanks!

    I use AUM as my signal chain.
    I use Nam xt as an amp and ir loader.
    I like to experiment,so if I need something else,I will use it.
    It may be another ir loader if needed (jamp ir is interesting,jamp convolve too.)
    Sometimes,I will put a compressor before Nam xt.fabfilter pro c2,or whatever works for getting the sound I hear and need.
    I like plate reverbs on guitar.Gemini by yonac is really good,but there are many other options.
    That’s it,I think.
    Hope it helps.

    The NAM player responds to what you feed it with. In my own experience, A good practice is to keep your guitar signal's highest peaks at -6dB and ensure you have good dynamic range between quiet and loud playing. Then some gain staging on your signal chain to mimic analogic signal chain. Another thing is that some profiles seem to respond better to single coils where other like more humbuckers. I personally have a telecaster with the 4 way switch mod, so it is easy to check on that. If you have humbuckers with coil split, that could also help.
    If after all that the profile still doesn't sound good, it might be a piece of crap like many on Tone3000.

    Thanks for the info! Super helpful, the AUM gainstaging concept is interesting, will try that out for sure (I don’t have a sound card/audio interface; i use that old iRig 2 adapter with an iPad that still has the headphone Jack input).

    Thank you! What are you doing to keep latency low but limit crackles? I am getting around 70-80% CPU with 4 plugins, buffer size of 32. Any more plugins I start to get crackles. Any higher buffer I start to notice the latency.

    The irig2 might be one of the reason you don't always get satisfying tone from NAM captures. Its impedance is very low and might result in tone loss (treble suck). If you're not planning to upgrade it, you might have a way to improve your signal if you own a buffered pedal ( most Boss or Electro-Harmonix pedals are buffered). If you have Something like a boss tuner, place it between your guitar and your irig2, this should greatly improve your guitar tone.

    Thanks for the topic! 🤙

    The NAM player responds to what you feed it with. In my own experience, A good practice is to keep your guitar signal's highest peaks at -6dB and ensure you have good dynamic range between quiet and loud playing. Then some gain staging on your signal chain to mimic analogic signal chain. Another thing is that some profiles seem to respond better to single coils where other like more humbuckers. I personally have a telecaster with the 4 way switch mod, so it is easy to check on that. If you have humbuckers with coil split, that could also help.
    If after all that the profile still doesn't sound good, it might be a piece of crap like many on Tone3000.

    Thanks for the info! Super helpful, the AUM gainstaging concept is interesting, will try that out for sure (I don’t have a sound card/audio interface; i use that old iRig 2 adapter with an iPad that still has the headphone Jack input).

    The irig2 might be one of the reason you don't always get satisfying tone from NAM captures. Its impedance is very low and might result in tone loss (treble suck). If you're not planning to upgrade it, you might have a way to improve your signal if you own a buffered pedal ( most Boss or Electro-Harmonix pedals are buffered). If you have Something like a boss tuner, place it between your guitar and your irig2, this should greatly improve your guitar tone.

    From now on,I will let you answer the technical questions 😂😂.

    Non, non, c'est vous le patron ici 😋

    😂😂

    By the way,string arrangements on your tracks,are really nice.
    Great work.

    I’ve noticed you using a variety of different NAM amp captures lately. Question about input levels: does each capture take the same input level? How do you go about setting your guitar input level to get the most out of each capture in regards to sound quality and response to dynamics? I’ve tried lots of different captures and a lot seem off and I think it might be due to my input either being too hot or low.

    Makes sense 🙏

    I notice you don’t use many filter or pitch effects (unless I just haven’t come across that). Are you not a fan of pedals like Wah or whammy? A pedalboard doesn’t feel complete to me without a wah pedal.

    I love the wah pedal.
    I own a cry baby 535Q.
    I should plug it again😉.
    Not fond of fxs in a general way.
    I have used a lot of them,many years ago.
    Nowadays,just a little bit of plate reverb or delay,and that’s it.
    I sometimes use my eventide fxs,when I go for Eddie Van Halen kind of sound.
    Thanks.
