It's close but I'm sure you'd agree, no cigar.
@R.D. Brilliant! Forgotten about that. @theguitarist Please post video of said hat eating or it never happened.I have found that steaksauce instead of ketchup makes the hat go down a little better ... !
[/QUOTE]Ok this is what I get might need echoplex on short slap back and compressor as Andy says in video.
But I re did this patch and this is what I got...
See below
change lfo to 1.909hz throw the lfo phase to 180.0 deg and set auto depth too HIGH
adjust level to taste and see if that sounds a bit more like it.....
Hope this helps
they might be doubling things when he hits the c# min 7 and its real thick
or they might throw in phase 90 with it or something from the roland chorus amp
adding chorus and flange together to get it so THICK there... seems to be thicker on one chord
c# min 7 right before WOKE UP THIS MORNING part... might be echoplex and verb kicked in there or doubled..
Paraphrased :
The MXR Flanger (not the micro) is nice. It can do subtle to heavy flange, and you can disengage the LFO and use the "manual" knob to tune the frequency and get a nice frequency bump. Nice for getting a vowel like tone on lead guitar. The EXH Deluxe Electric Mistress can do this as well.
If you don't mind digital, you can also look at the EXH Stereo Electric Mistress, which can do chorus and flange at the same time. It's a bit more metallic sounding than the Deluxe EM.
A Flanger is just a short modulated delay with regeneration. There are a few delay pedals that can do flange effects...the original Memory Man being one. If you want something versatile, look for a flanger with control for delay time and regeneration. Flange delay is usually between 4ms and 10ms. It is the delay time that give the overall character...shorter delays having a sharper, more phase like metallic sound. Longer delays will give you a warmer, chorus/univibe type sound. <<<<<<<< READ THAT LAST LINE IMPORTANT...
He says its the delay time that give the overall character shorter delays having sharper more phase like metalic sound longer delays giving you warmer more chorus univibe sound....
So reading that and using the screen shot I provided you might set knobs as I set them then tweeze the DELAY TIME knob
past 1.000 set the rest as I set them then mess with that and I bet it gets you in Andy land...
I did like this version, but that is not it, I'm sorry. The sound is too thin, the highs are too loud and your gain (I don't know why) sounds computerised rather than as if it was coming from a real amp. I feel bad for criticising people who are just trying to help, but honesty is always the best policy and that is my reason for stating the truth.
but that's exactly the point:I did like this version, but that is not it, I'm sorry.
...
I would like someone to do exactly what I did with Every Breath You Take
If you really believe that those MIAB takes are anywhere near as close to the originals as my attempt on EBYT, then we really have nothing more to say to each other because I have to assume that you're joking to invoke a reaction. My attempt wasn't perfect, but it is pretty much as close as you're going to get in one take without any overdubs. The MIAB attempts weren't bad, but they felt like they were the guitarist's own impression of the song rather than a replication of the original sound. None of them really got my engaged and wanting to hear more, and that is what the correct tone (in my opinion) would do.but that's exactly the point:
levipeto's take sounds as close to MIAB as your take sounds to EBYT to me (and other people too). i wouldn't say your EBYT is as spot on as you're saying it is, so i too could say "I did like this version, but that is not it, I'm sorry."
in fact, i'd say your version of EBYT has the same sorta things "wrong" with it as Matt's MIAB, the first soundcloud posted here. if you play the original recording next to your take, there is definitely a difference in tone.
all of these examples are definitely close enough for a cover band to play the song - nothing is wrong with these tones. but i would not say your EBYT is closer to the original tone than some other MIAB examples in this thread.
now begins the argument of who has better ears.
so it's really not up to us to find something close; it's up to you. everyone's opinion is going to be different on what sounds close and what doesn't.
statements like these, likewise, mean we really have nothing more to say to each other. it does not sound like Andy Summers himself recorded your track. if you are actually Andy Summers, it still didn't sound like the original recording to me, to the degree that we have taken this comparison.My attempt wasn't perfect, but it is pretty much as close as you're going to get in one take without any overdubs.
...
I bet you there are people out there who would assume Andy Summers himself recorded my track.
If it's such an easy tone to replicate, then you do it. If the other samples in this thread are anything to go by, you won't be getting close.i definitely wasn't joking, and i'm not trying to keep the conversation going by disagreeing with things you say.

again, none of these have been bad tones, but it seems we have gone down to a very minuscule level of judgment for these tones. you may just prefer your tone due to the work put in to get it, but it is definitely different than the original. and, to be honest, it doesn't really sound like a very involved tone to replicate. i'd say this one is way more about the guitar and muting than anything else.
i don't have the right guitar to replicate that tone.If it's such an easy tone to replicate, then you do it.
i don't think something is "spot on until explained otherwise." i can just hear that it's not spot on when comparing to the original recording.As far as I'm concerned, you asked for a sample, and the sample I gave you was spot on because you still haven't technically given me an explanation of what the tone is missing.
this is not true. what i've said so far is that your sample is just as close to its song as the other samples are to their songs. i've repeatedly said that none of the tones are bad. it's just not as close as you think it is, in my opinion.If one of the other members in this thread posted it, you would be more prone to admitting that fact, but hey, that's ego for you right?
Time to stop feeding the troll ... !
I laughed way more than I should have when I read that.i don't have the right guitar to replicate that tone.
What is funny?I laughed way more than I should have when I read that.
That is a bad excuse for not being able to replicate a tone. My take was done on a guitar with humbuckers, and I doubt you or anyone else would've noticed.What is funny?
Tone begins with the guitar though. It is not a bad excuse at all. Knowledgeable guitarists know this well.That is a bad excuse for not being able to replicate a tone. My take was done on a guitar with humbuckers, and I doubt you or anyone else would've noticed.
