Little hint to make the matching process even more accurate

[Frozen]

After several matching tries, i felt like the results were pretty close, but not absolutely identical. For me there seemed to be more low and high end after the matching. So what i did was matching the usual way via tma block first. With that tone, i recorded the riff i matched in my DAW and compared it eq-wise to the original with ozone. The result: From 90Hz to about 10khz the eq-spectrum is accurate, while the original track seems to have a lot less db beneath ~100Hz and above ~10kHz. I tried this with about 5 different references and it was always the same.

So long story short: Put an Parametric EQ after the TMA block. Set Band 1 to Blocking @90Hz, Band 5 to Blocking @10-11kHz. At least for me that did quite a bit. If you feel it's still not there you could try to put another peq afterwards.

Thats kind of funny, I just went into the amp block and used the hi and lo cuts at around the same frequencies last night with my only TM attempt. But I always use the hi and low filters by default.

Yeah I noticed the extra low end and high end sparkle on tone matched presets, but then I always block everything below 80, and everything above 12k anyway. Sometimes even narrower (100 to 9k). Tone matching is awesome!

I find if you tone-match twice you get a really accurate match, I've only messed with it briefly though.

Don't quite follow you on that one. Can you elaborate, please?

Thanks

Tone match, export tone match to cab. Tone match again using the cab block which has the exported match in the user capture. I'm guessing.

That's a great idea, I'll surely try it!
