All well and good but the audience isn't going to notice. But, if the guitarist doesn't play as well to the point where an audience, comprised of mostly non-musicians who just want to hear some music would notice just because he doesn't get the "feel" he would like then the guitarist needs to ask himself why he is in the entertainment business to begin with.If the feel is off the musician won't play as well as they can, and then the audience won't have as much fun.
We are humans, not PA systems!
Tone alone was never and will never be "enough".
And, heck no, a "stack at 5" is no guarantee of the feel I want. That's a rather broad and generic brush. I don't want the same feel on the FAS Modern as a I do on, say, a JVM Orange. I want a track with vintage fuzz be a third, different feel than a track with pristine cleans and big reverbs.
The Fractal gives us these choices no actual tube amp and no other modeler gives us to dial in the sag versus stiffness, the shimmer, the thump and the squish - not just the tone.
the codec yt uses, opus (aac for apple devices), is actually the same bitrate from 360p all the way up to 2160p and is functionally transparent across the vast majority of cases. the lower bitrate encodes are for 144p and 240pAll i hear is crappy 360p youtube audio
hey !
just a mini entertainment of the day
same guitar, same ir ... I try to match by ears, the settings are quite the same
I will tell the result when they are enough answers
Absolutely, i see no point in comparing fractal with other modellers based on these silly af a/b tests. when you can make the fractal amp sound like 100 things, while something like a helix or qc is heavily limited . We can modify the amp in a huge no of ways where it still retains its original vibe but still tweak the character of the distortion. So while one may argue others have caught up, its still far from truth as fractal truly models the amps component wise while most other modellers barely capture the gist of the sound and nowhere close to what mud said.If the feel is off the musician won't play as well as they can, and then the audience won't have as much fun.

In this case, this is a real raw mono track, without any pan/mastering limiter or whatever .the audience in most cases they hear well mixed, panned and mastered sounds . and not raw guitars in mono
Yeah i know your clip is raw, thats why i mentioned in most cases. . i already responded to what i think is fractal in your video in the earlier post for the mini game thingy.In this case, this is a real raw mono track, without any pan/mastering limiter or whatever .
For the rest as Tyson said. That’s just a game . I know sometimes games make people nervous but
It is sad to take it like that .There is nothing to get nervous about a/b test man idga flying f about whats real & what is isn't . or if something else sounds close to axe or better for that matter if at all.
you're probably among the very few people on this forum who cares or takes this a/b stuff seriously
Hypothetically speaking any software/ plugin you paid 50 or 150 bucks for may be perfectly good and may sound well. or very close in a standard use case scenario nobody said all plugins are bad or unsuable. most of them are all good and usable and largely capture the gist of the sound well enough, i myself would resort to using some plugins if i dont have axe with me.It is sad to take it like that .
To me is super interesting that a software I paid 50 bucks (yes 50 bucks to have an helix in your daw actually, but as you are not interested, I won’t told you how ) at stock settings, bluffed and gave mostly wrong answers.
The price of a ds1 man.
That’s me, and I’ve been playing guitar for 30 years!!not even going to be able to seperate the sound 5153 from 5150 or prs archon for that matter. because to some people all distortion is same.
