There's quite a lot of info on Tone Matching in the forum, but I find it to be here, there and everywhere. Not the kind of thing that you'd know what to look for if you're new to Tone Matching. I thought that i'd collate all of my findings into one handily thread, where it's all there for you.
The (M)OGG files that are available to download from Multitrack songs for download : Multitracks - 'A' (They need unzipping) allow you to achieve a really close tone match, instead of the highly compressed audio that you get from YouTube. Once I'd converted the OGG file into wav format, I could import it easily in Logic/Pro Tools etc, where I can use Ozone 5 to have a close look at the guitar tone frequency and export High Res Ir's.
MediaHuman Audio Converter - free audio converter for Mac OS X and Windows Alternatively, there's =http://www.zamzar.com]Zamzar - video converter, audio converter, image converter, eBook converter or AVS Audio Converter - convert audio files between any audio formats. for Windows.
I'm not going to explain from the thread to the needle about snap shooting in Ozone, because there's a really good video to watch here, from our beloved Clark Kent.
All you need to do is follow the above instructions with your chosen OGG (now wav) audio clip and hey presto!
Just remember that tone match only "fills the gap" between your original guitar tone and the tone matched tone, so don't expect a Vox AC30 to sound like a 5150. It also helps to have a quality Cabinet Impulse Response (Fractal, Own Hammer, Redwirez etc) because that will ultimately give you a close sounding tone match.
Below is a video on how to tone match from SoloAWeek which explains how to do it.
I hope that you find this helpful. It would be great to see more Tone matching on the forum.
