Thank you very much for this great contribution! When you make videos like this, you are expanding the territory so that rock music can continue to live among us. You have gained another subscriber to your channel. I am already looking forward to the next ones.
Wow !
I just bought Amplitude 5Max v2 a couple of weeks ago. only have like 5 amps. Do I have to buy all the amps you are demoing? I still have not got a decent tone yet but I'm sure its me. Anybody know any good training videos for a clean to Rock sound?
Thank you !
Have you done all this only using amplitube?
@@medicenceni2609 yes!
@@domminney it's amazing bro! Cheers from argentina!
I am a beginner perhaps tha that is why but I simply added your preset in google drive in my amplitube but the song I get is not close to the sound you show in this video, I tried with Fender strat , P90 Yamaha Revestar and also Les paul. No way it is not the way it sounds here or I might be wrong I try again
@@briodJames I also released a Strat version but here are things you should check…. Make sure you are using an input that takes an instrument level signal, don’t use a line in then gain it up. I use the IK multimedia z-tone buffer for this, it has massively improved my guitar tones via a DI. Not all guitars sound the same so tweak the opening EQ or add another before it so you can match your guitar closer to the one I made the patch with. Make sure you’re not clipping your input signal. In my experience most people’s mistake is with the incorrect impedance on the input, it must be an instrument input.
@@domminney thanks I use Motu interface and the input says : LINE /MiC/ Guitar it is instrument input for others ok I will try :)
@@domminney All the wave files are just for my reference right?
@@briodJames it’s been a while since I looked at what was included but I’m sure I put in my DI’d guitar so you could test getting the same sound along with the backing
Killer!
Nice one Dave, great production, song sounds great
Brilliant video mate, you shone a light on a lot and an overall really impressive project, not to mention song. Meli's a great talent!
Top work
@@trevdarlo cheers mate
this is exactly what I'm after for my x-touch one! amazing work. The code can't come soon enough. thanks again so much in advance and keep up the wicked videos mate.
Love it! Sounds absolutely amazing.
This is brilliant 😍 those vocals are pretty mesmerising too 😌 it’s always mega interesting seeing songs broken down/built up
AMAZING, THAT IS FUCKING SKILL.
Ha ha! Thanks
I know this is a big ask, I am not to hot on the old axe, and have just bought a black Squire Sonic to replicate David Glamour's 'Black Strat'. I am finished the transformation aesthetically and am just about o concentrate on the guts for a close sound with Semour Duncans and a 'Big Muff' etc. My question is, can you do the same for comfortably numb on Amplitube, I have Amplitube 5 with The Brian May gear but would love to get more into it with this Floyd song, can you help with this one? That would make a viral video!
@@ScottDonaldson51 I will do that!
@@domminney Really? That's brilliant, I will look out for it, I just subscribed and had a look at your site, and watching your series, it looks very interesting, you don't get to see behind the scenes of a bands struggle thought the pandemic, looks like a good honest account, you have been busy! Wish You could attach photos on here, I would value your opinion on my Black Strat, I have covered every angle right down to the head stock fender decal with the exact version Gilmore had, changed the Squire back plate to Fender.
@@ScottDonaldson51 the series is essentially true albeit fictionalised for comedic value, but it’s what was happening everywhere in the industry. You could post a link to your guitar or make a video yourself!
Amazing 👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Outstanding work, I have an Icon QCon Pro and if this can work with that I will be delighted, especially the jog wheel. Did you post your code somewhere?
@@trevfisher I intended to post the code but then had a month or so of touring. I’m back now so will tidy it up and post it
@@domminney Fantastic news thanks
Great video,very interesting❤❤❤
The song sounds great!!! Meli is a great singer & plays the guitar great!!! I really Love the song!!! I don't know anything about all that equipment, but I know that you are the expert!!! The finished product sounds great!!!
Thanks Dave for the outstanding work !
@@melilovesguitar my pleasure!
I said it before I'll say it again, genius. Awesome job. I hope to see you and Australian Pink Floyd at the mohegan sun in September. If I can get tickets.
Oh my god ! You are genious both of you ! Is it possible to get a CD of this single and more song from Mely ? I am in love with Mely's song and her voice and the incredible high quality of the recording. I wish I could play it on my 100% british sound system that need to be feed with high quality recording like your's. Unfortunately most of better music where cheaply recording in 70s, 80s. They didint matter at this time. They where selling milions of records with cheap sound system.
You can watch it via streaming on KZread, or listen via all the streaming sites! Thanks for loving the song!
David thank you for this production insight how the song has been constructed. A very nice peak into the modern music production possibilities. A nice song all in all.
Cheers my friend!
Love this! It’s really interesting to see how it all comes together. You’re both so talented 🤩
thank you Donna !!
Good tune and fantastic production. Gonna be a good one
@@davidturner7863 thanks mate
Great job man that sounds amazing!!
A lot of feel in this. Incredible interpretation, simply unbelievable!
The tone from that goldtop ES335 is to die for
Not sure how the Algorithm finally recommended this video but I'm glad it did. This clean tone has been on my mind all week
Which pedal did you go with? Big Muff Pi , Ram? Etc. You jammed on that!!!
It was all software, from memory it was guitar rig 5. These days I’d use amplitube
@@domminney excellent! Absolute excellence! I have a sovtek mig 50 w/ a Marshall stack. I couldn’t get tones like that unless I turn the volume over halfway which gets the neighbors running. Great job!
@@domminneyEveryone loves the strat, but I like my tele. What’s your opinion?
@@bookmarked-9771 I’m a big telecaster fan, I use them a lot and have around 14 including an original 54, but also have many other types of guitar.
@@domminney I won’t pester you any further. The “rig 5” &lified”was great info. I haven’t used much software. I question my extremely loud sovtek w/ Marshall cab. when I could have gotten a smaller amp with the software. I love those tube amps. Solid state blah. With that being said, and I understand it’s somewhat of a subjective question, in your opinion what yr model (vintage, professional etc telecaster would you recommend for a a guy who digs playing, but not on a professional level $$, that’s the biggest bang for your buck. Lastly,I believe the maple neck is the better, but which? A maple or roasted maple? Perhaps some actually prefer the Rosewood? Jumbo frets or regular. Thanks. Fantastic playing with your own highlights. Your playing with interpretation shows your emotion, in my opinion, and makes it original in your own way. I’ve listened to this at least a half dozen times now. I immediately brought mine to my luthier.
Damn son, that T-Racks is like taking a blanket off the mix. The Waves is woolley.
Which package on IK have all this equipment?
Amplitube 5 Max
@@domminney Thanks!
These guys are hilarious! 😂😂
awesome please share the backing track link please
Solo playing on point
Putaqueopariu !!!!
Ok….. 🤣
Why am I getting brutal background noise with this preset?
What are you using as an interface? What guitar?
@@domminney it's a behringer um2 and a Fender Squier tele
@@domminney it's not just your preset.
@@MrXYZMEE I would imagine it’s a few possible things 1. Bad impedance match between the behringer and the telecaster, you should use an instrument di box like the z-tone 2. Cheap pickups in the squier telecaster that are probably picking up loads of electrical noise, maybe you’re sitting too near the computer, monitor or other electrical devices. 3. Bad cables or you’re using a speaker cable instead of a shielded jack lead. 4. Input level is not right on the behringer 5. Amplitube or your DAW is set to monitor two inputs, for example input 1+2 and 2 might be generating noise.
@@domminney thank you very much for helping me!
Interesting. I noticed that like other hacks of this kind they are based on mouse position and specific monitor resolution. I wonder if anyone has managed to trace the signals of the original panel and replicate it.
I'd have to get hold of one to try to reverse engineer the signal.
@@domminney That's a tough bite. I'm frustrated that BlackMagic doesn't give room for any customization, and the use of their own harware in their own software is very limited. On each page, a great use would be the Grading Panel, for stitching, or dials for Fairlight to control tracks etc. Since their big steel thingy takes up a big chunk of the desk, it should be able to do more. I'm also disappointed that you can't control other software with it. At the same time, they are limiting third party manufacturers to make a better panel themselves than they have. Tangent element could be better if BM didn't limit it on features.
You are a genius. Congrats brother. Now I'm inspired to see what I can create with what I have.
That room would smell like raw sewage by the end of his speech
Good grief son
Thanks I think.... 🤣
Hey, amazing and very inspiring video, thank you! The moment I saw it, I went out and bought an Akai MPD218 to start building a color grading panel. However, I encountered a problem and would like to seek your advice. When I turn the knob and use input.on('cc', (msg) to listen for the controller's value, the listener is not called anymore once the value reaches the upper limit 127, no matter how much I continue to turn the knob to the right. Even if I assign a smaller value to msg.value to prevent it from reaching 127, it doesn’t help. I have to turn the knob left, and only when the value decreases does the input.on listener function get triggered again, which prevents me from achieving a seamless continuous turning knob. I was wondering that does your midi controller's knob value, when reaching 0 or 127, continue to trigger the listener function, like continuously outputting 0 or 127?
The controller I use doesn't give values on the knobs like that, it gives bursts as it turns with numbers from -64 to +65 depending on how fast it is turned. Each event turns the knob a litle bit up or down and I have a variable that sets which knob is being turned so it only does the mousedown once and a timeout to clear that variable and mouseup once you've not touched the knob for .25 of a second. Does that make sense?
@@domminney Thank you very much! I'll go try this method!
You may need to put the controller in a different mode, I put mine in Mackie control mode
@@domminney Thank you for the additional information! It seems that my drum pad does not support this mode. I'll go buy a MIDI controller like the X-TOUCH Mini. Thanks again!
Voxengo plugins share the same resistance from some consumers as those of Melda i.e. the GUI puts people off which is a shame because both companies make fantastic plug ins that are often way better than the competition costing a LOT more.
I have no issue with the UI!
These all sound excellent. I have the cs shop version. I have a guitar track loaded in logic, and flick through all the presets and amps , and they all sound terrible! What’s going on . Any suggestions please. Thanks
What makes it sound terrible? What are you using as a guitar input?
Very cool 😎
Yes Voxengo has some interesting plugins, even some free ones, I particularly like the guitar amp and effects plugin. Thanks for posting.
My pleasure!
👍👍
That’s cool. I really enjoyed that. 🎶🎸❤️🎸🎶
Excellent work!
Cheers mate
