What is a "good" or "bad" profile ?

It depends on your taste, and on the context. Some nice captures can sound bad in a mix, some crappy tones can be amazing...

For exemple, in this video. I love the sound of the $20 wish amp, that I find much more interesting than a perfect ENGL or Soldano capture if you're looking for this trash/punk/garage rock unique sound (especially with a detuned guitar ;-).

BTW, the idea to capture some weird gear with Tonex can bring a lot of fun and creative experiences.

 

A litlle bit OoT, I remember listening to a lot of isolated tracks from Warren DeMartini and George Lynch, bare naked, their tone is as bad as they can get I would think my old Line 6 Spider would sound better...but Holy Crap we all know how legendary and distinguishable their tones are and it takes many years of practice to instinctively tell if a tone is gonna fit in the mix well.

Same goes for these modelers and AmpSims, in reality only a handful of them is usable in the mix

 

How can I download from tone.net, Im on the site but if you go to the preset theres a download sign but appears not selectable (Not in white but grey)

 

That goes for most recorded tracks even Eddie Van Halen had bad sounding recorded tones.
But i bet thats not what they heard unless they stand in the control room and listen thrue studio monitors.
If you really wants to hear how a recorded SM57 or any other mic sounds you need to put your ears in front of the same speaker as the mic and same distance of course.
And of course you need to know how the mic colour the sound.
And that sounds very different than standing a few meters away from the cab.
Add to that what the engineer does when he/she mix the song aka alot of filtering to make room for vocals and other instruments.
I heard of an engineer that said the best guitar tone he ever recorded was done with a battery mini Marshall that was in a little cardboard box and miced up with a 421.

You cannot download directly from a web browser. You have to use Tonex App and use the Tone.net button.

 

Ok mate, thanks. I just want the new capture of Jhon from Sonic drive studio haha, the peavey 6505

 

hey guys, haven't read the whole 33 pages.
just downloaded from sisterside, how do i activate this? there's the keygen, but tonex say's at startup" 9 days of try left" or something.
so how do i use the keygen?

thanks

Thanks!

 

You have to block the access to the pages they provided, then install the program, dont open it. Open the keygen, select tonex and automatic registration (On windows) In the txt on the keygen folder are the steps to follow

 

What I mean by bad profile is a profile made by someone who does not know what they are doing. But sure it's all sound and it is possible that someone making a bad profile will create a sound that someone likes. But for me, what I am looking for are profiles that are as close to the real thing as they can be. So that I can have profiles that sound like the great amps they were taken from.

 

Read the NFO file and follow the instructions. Disable your anti virus as some will delete the keygen. Set your firewall to high so that you are notified if an app trys to call home so that you can block it.

 

Xmas, again !

Thanks !

 

GOD BLESS YOU MAN !!!

 

Thanks so much for the latest library update!

Loading times have been hugely increased though, so took some time to clean the database with an SQLite editor.

I am posting some of the scripts I used right below in case they help someone clean their database in a rather quick way:

• delete from tonemodels where Tag_AmpName like '%KPA%' or Tag_description like '%KPA%' or Tag_modelName like '%KPA%' and tag_username != 'IK Multimedia';
• delete from tonemodels where upper(Tag_AmpName) like '%MODELING%' or upper(Tag_description) like '%MODELING%' or upper(Tag_modelName) like '%MODELING%' or upper(Tag_CabName) like '%MODELING%' and tag_username != 'IK Multimedia';
• delete from tonemodels where Tag_ModelCategory like '%STOMP%' and tag_username != 'IK Multimedia';
• delete from tonemodels where Tag_ModelCategory like '%CLEAN%' and tag_username != 'IK Multimedia';
• delete from tonemodels where upper(Tag_AmpName) like '%FRACTAL%' or upper(Tag_description) like '%FRACTAL%' or upper(Tag_modelName) like '%FRACTAL%' or upper(Tag_CabName) like '%FRACTAL%' and tag_username != 'IK Multimedia';
• delete from tonemodels where upper(Tag_AmpName) like '%AF3%' or upper(Tag_description) like '%AF3%' or upper(Tag_modelName) like '%AF3%' or upper(Tag_CabName) like '%AF3%' and tag_username != 'IK Multimedia';

Actually removed all kemper - modeling - axefx - clean amps - stomps, but you can always adjust these queries to your taste.
As you can see I am always excluding stuff from "IK Multimedia" cause unfortunately if I remove something from their stuff the app crashes (if somehow we managed to remove these and keep only 3rd party profiles, loading times would be very very reasonable).

Also, for all the high-gain friends here, this is a library filtered to my taste (60mb size):

That doesn't really make any sense I am afraid. Lmao.

 

QUESTION HERE...You guys find ANY benefits to the Tonex stomp pedal simulations? I couldn't find any and feels kinda redundant and easily be replicated thru within stock Amplitube OD/Distortion pedals. It's the Amp and cabinet that makes 95 percent of the tone I guess and I dunno how crucial these Tonex Overdrive simulations are to get that sound that you want

 

Any ideas on how to install the library in the IOS application?

Actually I find the pedals in TONEX to be its best feature. I use them with the amps in Overloud TH-U Rig Player (which to my ears sounds immensely better than IKs amps).
