    Ambient Cleans For Mark Holcomb's Darksun Riff

    I completely agree about the mod LFO. My one is slowly waving from one side to another which I forgot to mention, with the minimum depth possible

    Ambient Cleans For Mark Holcomb's Darksun Riff

    Sure i've got the delay time about 970ms on analogue stereo delay, 46% feedback on L and R channels, 130% master feedback, just don't turn it that high if you get increasing feedback that you can't stop. In the tone tab I have 0.75 drive and a tiny amount of bit reduction and diffusion to give...

    Hey my presets are a work in progress, it might take a while before I'm happy with them but will be sure to share them when I am

    Ambient Cleans For Mark Holcomb's Darksun Riff

    The Amp here is the 6G12 Concert going through both Pre-Rola 55 and 75 cabs, then through an analogue delay block and deep space reverb block, along with some usual/subtle processes like compression and tape drive pre amp block and some subtle pitched reverbs in parallel

    "The Sound In Our Heads"

    Not yet, my tones are heavily influenced and helped out by a couple of guys Chris Martinelli and Jon Caywood, so much so that I would feel bad sharing the tones online lol, But Caywood does have presets on AxeChange if I remember. Don't worry at some time when I'm happy with my tones and I feel...

    Yes, stock, thanks very much! Just tried uploading the WAV here, hope it works https://www.dropbox.com/s/dyn6edjpkhopcgf/The%20Sound%20In%20Our%20Heads%208.wav?dl=0

    "The Sound In Our Heads"

    I made a 5150 preset for the chords, and the "Bulb Rhythm/Lead" preset with modified delay time to match the song for the leads. Bass wasn't through the axe fx shamefully. The intro is also a clean preset I made with a touch of chorus which isn't really noticeable

    Bulb - Breeze Using Engl Head+Cabs

    These are some settings I borrowed from Chris Martinelli for the rhythm tone (Sevege head, German Boutique cab), using the Petrucci stock preset for the melody, and I used a Bogner head with the Engl boutique cab for the solo if I remember right.

    Laptop for Axe-Edit?

    I'm sure most laptops would work fine with Axe-Edit if they're new enough and with the required OS. I'd recommend something with a fast CPU though because you might sooner or later want to use music production software so I have an MSI Stealth Pro.

    mark holcomb inspired preset

    Hey I haven't had my axe fx for long, but I've been looking at this guy's tone for a long time with other stuff like bias. So far I can give some general tips maybe. In BIAS for some reason the alnico blue speakers worked well as a cab. For an amp there's a lot of options but I normally just...

    XL+ Is On Order

    To be fair, I got it 2nd hand for a fairly low price. I'd be annoyed if I got it full price then found out the III is a similar price. But yeah looking on the bright side of course. Until the III is out, looks like the XL+ is still the best in town.

    XL+ Is On Order

    Well it arrived today, the same day the axe III was announced LOL. But regardless I'm having endless fun with it. Thanks I guess there are advanced parameters on the wiki then? Haven't found them yet, but I'm fairly new to the wiki.

    XL+ Is On Order

    Yeah Chris in those videos always emphasized that point a lot. I'm definitely a tweaker who likes to geek out a lot, but still I'm probably not gonna get into the advanced stuff (power supply settings, sag etc), I'll play the hell out of all the default models, and stuff from axechange...

    I'm expecting one to arrive at the later half of this week. Thought I'd post here because I've been a member for a long time but this is the first time I'll actually own a fractal. Here are the sort of sounds I was getting before I've been watching through Chris's stuff on youtube and as many...

    More Halo SPV3 Soundtrack Work

    Some people liked the previous one I posted here http://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/halo-spv3-custom-soundtrack-rock-anthem.113130/ so I figured I'd post the latest one which has a slight ambience vibe and some progressive riffs later on. Hope you enjoy!

    Financing

    The gift card might actually be a decent option to help manage money. If the problem is more the management of money rather than the amount of money, tying your money to gift cards and collecting them will stop you from spending that money on anything else. While my health is kosher...

    Halo SPV3 Custom Soundtrack - Rock Anthem

    Yep I presume it is for the PC as well I doubt you can mod the console ones. I'm mainly a PC gamer these days but it's very refreshing to plug in an xbox 360 controller and play games as if they were console games. I was obsessed with steve vai as a teenager, he was a game changer. Of course I...

    Halo SPV3 Custom Soundtrack - Rock Anthem

    SPV3 is an unofficial mod so I'm doing it for independent developers. It means Single Player Version 3, basically from what I know about it, it's about enhancing the gameplay and content. But honestly I don't know too much about it, I just do the guitar for them lol. Check the links to the other...

    " Real Compressor Pedal " ..... best place to run it ...... in front ? -or- in Loop

    Probably same as real amps, they can work in either, but I think most people prefer compressors in the front, even before a drive pedal.

    Middle Single Coil vs [Bridge+Neck Single Coils] Together

    Well sorry for the bump, just a little update, guitar-wise I am happy for the time being. I happen to have received a very late xmas present from the family, in the form of a Charvel Guthrie Birdseye model. So yeah this conundrum has become dormant for the time being. This guitar does that...

    Anybody Knowledgeable About Lights Interference?

    Yep I destroyed the interior of a hundreds of years old room and am rebuilding the interior to a much better setup. Do you mean avoid running signals parallel to the power cables behind the walls? Or avoid running parallel to the actual power leads coming from the sockets? And does anybody have...

    Anybody Knowledgeable About Lights Interference?

    Thanks I will keep that in mind. I've been round to a few student's houses and one guy powers his using DC transformers and they look great, good to know they will work better. Another student has screw-in ceiling LED bulbs so I reckon those are the ones you're talking about, I will steer clear...

    Is Axe Fx Viable?

    The only justification I can imagine is to do with moving air, people who complain might only be using the axe fx through headphones or monitors, and may not feel that way if they put it through a poweramp and real cabinet. I imagine it would feel pretty much the same as a real amp.

    Anybody Knowledgeable About Lights Interference?

    Great tips thanks. I'm currently insulating the new studio environment, and the mains power leads are installed (the socket's aren't yet). I'm wondering if it's worth also treating the power cables behind the walls, as in shielding them in some way. I wonder if anybody has experience with...

    Anybody Knowledgeable About Lights Interference?

    I'm considering buying LED lights for my new studio environment, which will need light for guitar videos now and then. LED's seem like the best choice because they're efficient and come in allsorts of colours and I generally love the way they look. But does anybody know if they interfere with...

    When A Commenter Thinks Your Plywood Strat Is a USA Poplar Or Something

    I don't see it as a negative thing really, I support their right to express their stupidity. The only thing I don't like is youtubes comment system, where the commenter can remove the uploaders comments just because it's a response to his thread. Makes no sense.

    When A Commenter Thinks Your Plywood Strat Is a USA Poplar Or Something

    Hehe I've seen that. I wouldn't trust the durability of it lol. Plywood, even if you think it's cheap and nasty, might be even stronger than regular woods lol. The funniest thing is I didn't even use a balanced signal in that video. It was before I got an audio interface

    Nice words from Guthrie

    Unfortunately in the reply I was told that the particular product they use is a trade secret. I was told it's a hand-rubbed satin urethane finish, which is a vague clue. I doubt I'll find out, although I could take it to a wood/furniture expert to see if they know anything.

    Nice words from Guthrie

    I honestly haven't had much time to play it, but from what I've played, it is just an incredible experience. A;; GG models have always had the best feeling necks ever, even the cheaper Suhr Rasmus they made for a while. I have never owned a guitar of this value before so I almost feel unworthy...

    Nice words from Guthrie

    I would actually say that this Charvel has slightly more of a strat quality, as opposed to his older Suhrs which had slightly more of a warmer and lower mids/les paul tone to them in my opinion. They are very very similar though. You can tell Guthrie told MFB at Charvel the same advice about...

    Nice words from Guthrie

    I always thought of Rob as an extremely gifted salesman and business man above all else. Not that it's a bad thing. He deserves all his success. Yeah I mean personally it would be hard not to compare an amp sim to the axe fx, it has become the gold standard for tone in the digital world.

    Nice words from Guthrie

    Good to know. I'm a guthrie fan like allot of you probably are. Met him last year when he came to Scotland. Very nice guy. As a side note I also received a charvel guthrie birdseye signature model the other day. Very pleased with it. The man knows how to concept a guitar.

    Phrygian Dominant & Harmonic Minor Question

    All correct, except maybe the G# powerchord. It seems like it should make sense, but the perfect 5th is the problem (the Eb, the 2nd note in the powerchord you're playing, which doesn't fit into the E phrygian dominant scale). You may have heard people get around that problem though, you will...

    Phrygian Dominant & Harmonic Minor Question

    Seems fine to me. About the B, that will usually sound like a resolved note so it's fine. Everything you said about using A Harmonic Minor sounds fine. Bear in mind that because your key is E, playing an A note will most likely sound tense rather than resolved, so it would be a good note to...

    Middle Single Coil vs [Bridge+Neck Single Coils] Together

    Thanks for all the feedback. I forgot to say, the single coil I will be getting will almost certainly be the Suhr Mike Landau. You can assume for the time being this guitar will be a Suhr Satin Modern, but with some customized features. My signal chain will be very simple, I don't like to use...

    Quality of PRS vs Suhr

    Yeah first world problem but in my opinion it's easy to think that the sound is the only thing that matters, and that is true when it comes to recording or playing live. But when it comes to actually playing guitar, you are going to play and practice more and enjoy it more if you also have a...

    Middle Single Coil vs [Bridge+Neck Single Coils] Together

    Hi I'm wondering what everybody's opinion is about this. The back story is basically that I will be ordering a custom guitar at some point in the near future, and it will most likely have an HSH configuration with a coil splitter. The 5 way blade switch will probably be set up to do: Position...

    Quality of PRS vs Suhr

    Personally I've only tried some custom 24 models and cheaper versions at that. I would say that these guitar's tone outweighs their feel. i.e. personally I loved the quality of the tones coming from PRS pickups whether it was coil split or not, but the way the guitars actually felt to play left...
