Yep, it is another attempt at that famous Jump sound... :)

It is a work in progress, so don't expect miracles from the sound clip i will post here today.
In my opinion what makes the sound is 50% OB-X, 30% effects, 20% studio magic.
From looking at the waveform i noticed that most probably (correct me if i am wrong) it was double tracked at least at the start of the song, because left side is about ~38 miliseconds late, so i use 2 Xhips for that reason.
In some old Jump thread someone posted a very good clip of Diva + real analog guitar amplifier nailing the sound almost perfectly.
In my attempt i did not use a guitar amplifier, but just a tube overdrive and an EQ.
And of course some delay and reverb.
Should be obvious enough but i will say it anyway: Xhip is on the left, Van Halen on the right.

Just leaving it here for now in this incomplete state, because i am tired of the sound, will come back to it in few days or a week.

I'll try to find that Diva clip.

And at this moment, i think i am a little bit closer with my Xhip attempt...
Well... that Diva clip was good too and i was impressed as you can see few posts below that clip. :)
And it steered me in the right direction for using an overdrive to get the sound to "bite" more.

Oops !
Forgot to say that there is TLs Pocket Limiter on the master track which affects both left and right.
Used it to tame the dynamics and get the loudness and peaks about the same, without it one side would go over 0dB while being equally loud.

Good thing i remembered it before someone stormed in here and accused me of "cheating" because the analog side doesn't sound exactly like on the CD... :D ;)

The description says it is "transparent" so most probably it didnt change the sound too much anyway...
