Hey all
Just loaded 9.01 Beta to test out the new Spkr Comp.
Below is a quick audio "test" file I did for myself. I have uploaded it to S/Cloud in 32 Bit .WAV format ... what S/Cloud "does" to it I have no idea
It has 4 short "dirty / crunchy" clips - I dont believe in "clean guitar" .....
All guitar / amp / cab etc.... were identical on each - the *only* setting change was:-
Clip 1 = 0 Spkr Comp
Clip 2 = 1 Spkr Comp
Clip 3 = 2 Spkr Comp
Clip 4 = 3 Spkr Comp
It was recorded via 48k Spdif to my RME UCX interface .... zero DAW processing of any kind ..... clips 2, 3 and 4 were adjusted slightly up in level to "volume match" Clip 1 [ the 0 spkr Comp setting] for matching playback volume purposes
This was a fresh clean new preset from Stock - details as follows:-
-> Telecaster Bridge P/U Kinman 6.4k Broadcaster
-> Axe Input Impedance 230k
-> Axe Instrument In at %29
-> All gates / efx / revs / mods etc.... off
-> Amp Block is 011 1959 SLP Treble with Drive = 7, Bass = 4, Mid = 8, Treb = 6, Pres = 6, Cut = ON, Bright = ON .... everything else stock / unchanged
-> Cab Block is F034 4x12 G12H-30 RW with NO MIC, Low Cut = 100hz, High Cut 12k, 12db Slope, Pre+Drv all OFF, Room all OFF .... everything else stock / unchanged
-> nothing else what so-ever in the patch
My initial thoughts are ..... without wanting to sound completely self-contradictory .... that the change is
subtle but obvious ... especially as you begin to approach live/gig level .... even going from 0 to 1 .. let alone to 2 or 3.
I want to come back to it with fresh ears as all I can hear now in my head is "chunka-chunka"
I did this all through my CLR in my home studio up loud ... my
very-initial-sense is that for my style of playing and tone etc..... [ classic to hard rock ] I wouldn't imagine myself running this any higher than 2 [max] .... more likely maybe around 1 'ish <-> 1.5 'ish ... but I need to come at it again with fresh ears.
Be interested to "hear" what others think.
Hoping others may get some "ear-value"
from this
All the best,
Ben
