Weird tone matching voodoo

[WhiskeyJack]

I wouldn't say it was a homerun makeshift reamping effort. I still heard big difference between the two takes, but it did make a big difference to the less desirable tone.

wow ........ 4 minutes of his rambling, repetitive babbling was all i could take ........ i'd rather not learn anything than hear him say, "here's what you do' the 12th time.

No dispute form me. that was one of the worst walk throughs on how to do anything i have ever sat through. [mention]Tadpui[/mention] could have walked us through that in under 3 minutes.

But by and large the technique was sort of interesting. I'd have never of thought of that at all.

I didn't watch enough to see what he did and I don't 'puter record anyways so I wouldn't use it.

However, let me hazard a guess ..... I did see him say to play something close to the original track but played with a clean git, so I'm gonna guess that he was able to subtract that waveform from the distorted track's waveform to see what the general differences were between the two.
And then did a similar suntraction from the original distorted track leaving an approximation of a clean git playing that track.
And then used that 'clean' guitar thru whatever impulses he wished.

Anywhere near the mark?

Very Close-ish Boob!!!! There was some subtraction involved but it was all under the roof of one plugin that was an EQ matching plugin that comes with a popular mastering suite.

He used a clean track, applied an amp sim, got it as close as he possibly could to the good one he wanted to match. He then ran this EQ matching plug on his good track he liked, created an Averaged out EQ profile snapshot of that. then he ran the same plug in on the Clean/sim'd track and created that profile, then after that he applied the first equalization profileto the second and the two sounded respectably close.

Not an exact match but it would be enough to fool someone who didn't have an intricate ear. Someone like you , or anyone else on the forum might say he'd have to try harder, but for the people that that video was tailored for, they would be happy with it and consider this a good work around in an instance where they hated a guitar track after coming back to it after tearing down and not having any signal they could really reamp the proper way.

Another tool for the lazy man's tool belt.

Lots of wrongish nomenclature too.
The chat with Laptopbellyman really does place this in a demographic and genre belt.

I was amused by the "sometimes you just have to re-record everything" aside.
