So I'm watching bits of the USA Conventions to see who can be the most insincere whilst pinching your pockets.
And this corker came to mind:

I'd just downloaded the Bert Whatshisname sound pack - first profile out of the bag nailed the guitar sound on this.

Thank you Bert.

Using a send in to one of the return channels ended up with increased noise and pretty horrible.
Taking a send and plugging it straight in to track 2 worked very well. I just balanced the 2 channel levels to roughly 60/40, sounfs pretty good.

Thanks Paul.

I haven't had a chance today Paul but I'll have a crack tomorrow and report back.

The mixer is the Mackie Onyx 16 20 Firewire.
What do you reckon is the best approach with that model Paul?
Thanks

OT, but could I use a send from my hardware mixer, say channel 1 and insert it in to channel 2?
I need more eq on the recording (vocal) and the eq's on my mixer are nice but limited.

I think it's a slight pressure on the tremolo arm as it's played and a touch of verb and chorus Robman.
If you play it exactly as is on the track and with a clean sound (no distortion cheating) it's quite a challenge and not as simple as you think. Or as I thought:)

Nethervon, I tried the amp section comp and the comp stomp. I think I need a different profile to get closer.(I think I used the Cube one as a starter)
The Bassman is a possible...

"I've bunged a bit of comp"
Already done that mate, I'm looking for a close=sh amp.

The lead on this at 2mins 08 is pretty much a generic strat sound but it does have some nice depth to it as well.
I cant remember the amp I used to copy it (not at my desk) but it was a pretty much a clean amp with the strat in the bridge/middle position.I've bunged a bit of comp and a touch of chorus on and it's close but it still sounds a bit weak.
Any amp suggestions? It needs some depth but not a lot of drive.
Ta.

Good profiles mate, thanks.

My Jag is the 2 pick up one.
It sounds pretty Rickish that, I'll download the profile and have a crack with it later.
Thanks!

Please do, I'd be interested to hear them.

Thanks Paul, I downloaded the samples.

Klappy what profile would you suggest as a starting point?
Thanks

Ah yes but what settings?
I have experimented with that until my ears don't know the difference between a fly or a ten ton lorry going past my ears:)

Anybody got a profile that would make a Fender Jaguar bass sound a bit more like a Rickenbacker bass?
I understand they are not the same instrument etc, even so...
Woof!

Tomster, very nice that.
I put it on a track last night and it sits really well using my Fender Jag bass.
I used the graphic eq to tame a bit of the mid and high mids and bunged the standard compressor on it.
Thanks,
Mike

Only joking mate, glad your looking into it:)

My Kemper sounds great on it's own and in the mix - what am I doing wrong?
Worried of Liverpool.

Well if some kind soul wants to offer to do me X3 patches for me I'd be eternally grateful.
There's quite a few so it would probably be a pain so I'm keeping me eye out for a second hand unit on Ebay.
I could even get the Live version and use the pedal board to change patches on the Kemper (not that I do much live playing)

Thanks Don, I'll give it a go (I haven't got the X3 yet)

I know this has been asked before but not for some time.
I need to repair a couple of tracks with the exact same sound on a recording, they were originally done with a Pod X3.
I still have the patches (but not the pod).I'm gonna buy an X3 to do what's needed but after that I'd like to have everything in one box (the Kemper)
How successful is the Kemper at profiling an individual patch and what is the best way to do so for accuracy?
I'm talking about sounds without much effects on, maybe a touch of compression is all.
I thank you.

PS If it's not accurate enough I'll keep the pod this time round just in case.
