Can people hear a real amp from a profiler in a mix?

  • Something I've learned from mixing (self taught, have mixed 3 albums so far): most guitarists don't realize how much their recorded tone is altered in a final mix. So while some players might be able to discern a mic'd tube amp from a modeler by listening to a single isolated, unprocessed track, they probably can't when listening to a final mix. I would venture to guess the same goes for a proper live mix.
