And therein lies the problem of capturing vs modeling. I actually agree with Peter's garbage in garbage out statement. BUT.....his, (and othe IK employees), responses to user issues, (bugs!), with IK's actual products both hard and soft have often been accusatorial, condescending and less than helpful. That being said, I have been an IK customer for many years. If their products were of a lesser quality I would have abandoned them long ago as I have many other devs that exhibit such poor support of both their customers and products. After they screwed me over with the Stealth Pedal and the original Stomp I/O I swore I'd never buy another piece of IK hardware. But, like the idiot I am, I bought a second hand AXE I/O only to find that IK refuses to host the drivers/control panel on their website and refused to help me with them as the unit was already registered. I have NEVER EVER had ANY manufacturere of audio/midi interfaces do me, (and everyone else that made the mistake of buying an AXE in the secondary market), do me that dirty. And, at one time or another, I've owned interfaces from nearly every manufacturer. Even AVID hosts legacy drivers on their website.Uncle E wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2024 10:34 am I assume he's talking about capture quality. So if someone made a "garbage" capture, the modeler is going to sound "garbage". There was a Rhett Shull video where he completely messed up the gain staging, which is fine since he's new to it and it's admittedly not easy, but he was doing it alongside someone who sells captures, and that's a problem.
Personally, I've gotten much better results with Tonex when I loaded NAM captures into Genome. I've also gotten better results with my own captures than with most Tonex captures, although ~20% of them are some of the best sounds I've gotten ITB.
And ,yes, making great captures requires a bit of patience and there's definitely a learning curve. Just sifting thru the many profiles is a bit of rabbit hole to go down. But, thankfully, there are a few guys like Amalgam that are masters. It's just takes time to weed out the stinkers. If Tonex had better preset handling like say Amplitube that chore would be much less difficult. I realize Amplitube is a modeler but all the other capture/profiling ampsims out there Like Overloud TH-U, ReValver and even the open source NAM have preset browser that are both easier to navigate and organize.
