The patch is out there already on the Axe Exchange. I believe it is called Almost Angus JCM800.Matman said:Love it. Will you upload the patches to Axechange?
No backing vox?

Thank you for the compliment! I have come a long way in recent sessions but I feel there is still a great amount of improvements to be made with my mixes.
I use Cakewalk Sonar 8 PE with a MOTU 828MKII. I use the following as well:
Amps
Great River ME-1NV Preamp(s)
Mics
Royer R-121, Rode NTK, SM57, Audix i5, etc
UAD Plugins
1176 Compressors
Neve 1073 (I LOVE THIS EQ!)
The biggest improvements probably have come from a new understanding of high-pass filters. This is what really helps produce a clean, crisp mix. Also knowing how to EQ each track to fit the mix. Other than this, it is just mix to taste.
benjam said:Thanks for the info - I'm still using Sonar6PE w/ a Presonus Firepod. Do you run the Axe thru the Great River or straight into the MOTU? I'm also seriously considering the UAD stuff. I just recently downloaded the demo of PSPs new sQuad bundle, and they are the best sounding EQs I've used so far (but I haven't tried the UAD stuff).
In Sonar, do you mix to stereo buses or do you use the 2.1 setup (no LFE) with the Surround Panner? I've gone back/forth and I'm not sure which one is better (for me).

I think it was 4X12 Cali with the R121 mic

Interesting... Say, how much eq did you have to put on your guitar track? The reason I ask is that almost without exception, I find that all cabs in the Axe display the dreaded "blanket over speaker" effect. That's one thing I hated when working with Amplitube 2, even with IR files. Unfortunately, I find that the same applies to the Axe.
It's a great clip by the way, and great voice.
Tubehead said:Very little. A Hgh-Pass around 100Hz and maybe a slight mid scoop around 125Hx with a Q of 5 - 7 and reduction of about 4db. Acually, very little EQ.

benjam said:What limiter are using at the end of the chain? I've been using PSP Xenon for a while now and it seems to be as good as any of the others, but I really don't like the outcome when I attempt to match commercial rock standards (the whole loudness war thing). I typically end up about 2dB below what's out there - but you can hear the limiting.
