VIDEO - Using MMatcher with guitars

[Chandlerhimself]

In this video I show how you can use MMatcher to easily and quickly change your guitar sound. This can be used for practical things, such as matching sounds for overdubs or for making your guitar sound like the guitar of your dreams. Check it out.

The video is interesting, but I'd like to see more - and more extreme - examples of MMatcher changing sound more radically - for instance, transforming a single coil pickup sound to steel guitar and so on.
I know that MMatcher does not do sound timbre remodeling, but seeing how far you can get pushing it can be quite intriguing.

Thanks,
Mario

BTW, one of the texts at the start of the video is "Orginal" instead of "Original".

I'll likely do another video in the future on this. Unfortunately I don't have a profile of a steel guitar. Also some instruments aren't that interesting timbre-wise, so doing this isn't as interesting as you'd think it'd be. I would like to try it with other instruments too.

What would be the best settings for matching master channel to a reference track?
In other words dry/wet, smoothness etc...
I've mostly been going around 66% on the dry/wet at the start of my mastering chain .

Also does MMatcher match the stereo field of the reference track also?

The setting are more of a personal preference and based upon what you're trying to do. For a single instrument I might turn the smoothness down, but for a whole mix I'd likely have a higher amount. The wet/dry should just be set to taste. It will match the EQ of the different sides, so it somewhat matches the stereo field, but it won't add info that isn't there, so it isn't exact. I hope that helps.
