Right, though for anyone else reading this who might be interested in EQ modeling, there are cheaper alternatives.
Does someone use some freeware or cheaper alternative than Ozone for eq matching?
Kemper + Izotope EQ matching = YES! YES! YES!

I know Logic Pro X has a built-in match EQ - other DAWs may as well

Me, for example!
Thank you! -

Yes, absolutely.

Last i week i tested Fabfilter against ozone because i really love the aspect that you can alter and fine tune the differetial curve. This is something i would love to have in ozone. However the matching itself did not stand a chance against ozone.

Yes, absolutely.
Wich one colfrixion?

thank you tyler

thanks i'll tra it.

tylerhb, I eq matched a guitar sound with Ozone and it was bang on.
In one of your other threads you described how to profile the eq match out of a DAW.
I did try this but maybe I don't understand correctly because it didn't work for me.
Would you mind explaining again (simply!) the steps please?
Woof! -

In my tests, they were comparable. In fact, even FreeFilter, which has been off the market for approx. a decade, does a comparable job. I was less impressed with CurveEQ, however.

Woof!Actually it is very simple if you already got the matching working. Again here is how to do it:
1. Create an audio track within you DAW. Insert or record your target sound.
2. Then route your amp´s profiling signal (microphone before the speaker, submixer output, DI ...) into the same track and record the same riff as closely as possible.
3. Use Ozone to analyze both parts (mayveplayed in loop mode each) and match your own amp sound to the target sound. You might want to move/copy the orginal target sound snippet to another track without ozone and compare both tracks if they really sound close.
4. Then simply activate the live monitoring on the ozone track. You should now be able to listen to your live Amp signal with the ozone EQ applied. If you hear any latency, don´t mind, because the profiler will compensate for that.
5. Start the profiling/refining process as usual. -
Hi mate.
The first 4 steps I'm OK with it's the profiling that is puzzling me.
I only have mics that need phantom power so I have to go through a mixer.So: Guitar-KPA, Direct send from KPA to Amp, Mic/Mixer out-Return KPA
Do I put the Ozone matched curve onto the input channel in Cubase and press the monitor button and then route the mic into that?Thanks.

sounds about right
from the mixer, you send the signal to your computer and DAW, and from there back to the Kemper return. -
Thanks Michael:)

Well, another failure!.
I'm using a mesa dual as the start profile in the KPA and connected everything as above but I'm all I am getting is a profile of my JC 120.
Am I trying to do something I cant do?? -

Am I trying to do something I cant do??Because you fail to really route your amp signal through the DAW. Perhaps you have direct monitoring activated in your audio interface. Maybe as a test try to simply put a delay in the DAW audio track and play with the routing until you hear your live amp signal with that delay. Then start the ozone part again...

tylerhb, here's what I did.
I have a piece of guitar (the tone I want) on a track in Cubase.
I record me playing with a similar guitar sound on another track.
I match the sound with Ozone (it works great). I now turn on monitor in Cubase on that track with the Ozone match on and route the mic to that track.
I profile as above with the routing:Guitar-KPA, Direct send from KPA to Amp, Mic/Mixer out-Return KPA.
BUT I also have my KPA SPDIF going in to my audio interface separately. Is this where I am messing up?Thanks.

Probably, since you cannot profile via SPDIF. Just regard the DAW as an EQ that you place before the KPA return when profiling. It´s not that complicated...

I keep learning more and more since buying the kemper...Crazy the possibilities this opens up...
