Hi guys, new to tonex here.

does anyone have a library.db which has some good profiles, but it doesnt take ages to load Tonex. i recently tried the full lib posted by an active member, and its was amazing, but quite a lot of them felt like bloatware too( understandable, as its a complete set of rigs). And since im on mac, i cant even do the xdb thing. So just hoping for one of you lovely people to help however you can.
Thank you.

 

hi, ToneX db Explorer is installed in admin mode on my win10. I click on the icon that loads but nothing opens. With you the same problem?

 

It works fine for me. But I did not install it in Admin mode and I'm using Windows 11.
Also, if I close it and then reopen it. The programme opens where I left off with the same auther's name and profiles highlighted.
I can only suggest that you make sure that your Library file is where it is supposed to be and if you downloaded izn444nz's full Library file then the wording on it needs to be edited or else if will not open in Tonex, which means that it will most likely not open in Tonex db explorer.

 

What do you mean by sub library? One library db per username, like this http://peeplink.in/563b4bfb9052 ?

I think that using sqlite3 or sqlitebrowser to remove what's not marked as Favorite is easier as you can select what you want to keep from the Full Library.

 

Try this:
1. Search your computer for a file named "Library.db" in a directory named TONEX. You can use the Mac tools that lookups the entire drive.
2. Download one of the Library files in this thread.
3. Make a copy of your current found by Mac Library.db file as something like LibraryBKP.db, in case you need to restore it.
4. Overwrite your current Library.db file with one of the downloaded Library files (If it's LibraryFull.db, you need to rename it to Library.db)
5. Open Tonex, all models should be there.

 

Yes exactly izn444nz, thank you !
(Are these "fake" libraries files for example, or you compiled the 3 libraries ?)

It was created by copying the full library and removing everything that's not by 'IK Multimedia' and the target user from the db using sql.

Code:

> cp LibraryFull.db amalgamaudio.db
> sqlite3 amalgamaudio.db "delete from ToneModels where tag_username != 'IK Multimedia' and tag_username != 'amalgamaudio';"

If you have a list of users, this can be done in batch for every user.

 

I just downloaded your upload @izn444nz and what is the main difference between the 3 libraries? I have:

• amalgamaudio.db
• LibraryFull.db
• urzeir.db

The second is obvious, in that it's the full available library I presume, but what are the other two specifically?

*sorry if I've missed a previous explanation of this!

 

The first one is...

The third one I'm guessing as the name ends with an r instead of a T is...

First post FINALLY edited with summed up informations on how to work with the database, with shout outs to people involved ! Feel free to ask for things to add/modify/delete, I want to make ToneX easy to get started with. Truly an awesome piece of software (but still missing DAMN STEREO AND PANNING)

hi forumers,
newbie question : must libraries be renamed "library" or it works as is ?
Thank you

 

Yes it must be renamed to library.db otherwise the program/plugin wont recognize it

Updated LibraryFull.db, added how_to_use.txt file and some more users db.

Man, I have to advertise for Mike Hatalak's high gain profiles, they are INSANE. Every single one he posts is top tier, I strongly recommend checking these out. MH -EVH [...] and MH -5150 [...]

EDIT : Wait is it just me or did the profiles become infinitely better from the end of February ? I found the strength to go through every high gain Amp+Cab or Complex Rig profile, and my tick-the-yellow-star rate has grown up dramatically from this period until the 6th March

Sorry if this topic has been covered ¿Is It possible to combine a given amp profiles with a given stomp profile( OD i.e.) How can It be done? thanks so much folks!

 

Hey guys I updated the initial post with a link to a new tutorial thread about SQLiteStudio and ToneXdbExplorer. For those who don't know how to work with the profiles database, it can be useful !

(woops sorry Skellig, if you already read my answer it doesn't work... I thought I already tried it but it seems that nah)

The page number of your original post would be been useful. I'm sure that people do not want to go through whole thread searching for your post.

 

He created this thread, so, that would be the first post at page 1.

 

And I should remember because of A, my psychic abilities or B, my elephants memory?
