Title: rebel yell top gun sample!
Post by: cnotold on July 26, 2006, 01:42:31 PM: well... since i don't have any amps, i connected it to guitar rig and recorded it through sound forge... to be honest i don't see much difference between the previous duncan 59 and rebel yell, horrible high ends has been tempered but the the warm and organic tone couldn;t be felt with this shitety software emulator... i think it might because of the treble booster that ive used for this... otherwise guitar rig just sounds so dulll. for the person like me who moves about many times per year, heavy gears like amp is too much a hassle. but hey, it was my first attempt to record and i know it's pretty dull but couldn't be bothered to record it again... never knew recording tool this much effort!! but enjoy and many crits welcome!

PS, it was about time someone tried this clip with RYs :D

Post by: Davey on July 26, 2006, 08:03:48 PM: man, recording is a pain in the butt.

you think you got the most awesome tome on the planet.. but when you try and capture that it comes out so horrible that you want to hang yourself for spending a fortune on guitars, amps, pickups, effects, yadda yadda, to have a recording that compares to a chinese squire through an mg15...

though, once you get the knicks and knacks polished out, it's well worth it

Post by: vassilis on July 27, 2006, 01:49:31 PM: I agree with Davey, recording the tone you've got exactly the way it sounds is a very tricky and painfull procedure. But you've got a very nice tone and I bet that if you hadn't the problems you mentioned, it would sound even better!

Good job! Make's me think if I should get the RY instead of VHII after all :)

Post by: Muso on July 28, 2006, 10:43:40 AM: hey cnotold that sounded cool, it kind of sounded like a single coil which was weird. I see your'e from Nottingham I don't suppose you know any really good guitar teachers as I'm looking for lessons?

Oh yea can you tell me about this guitar rig is? I use a thing called a guitarport which is a bit pants.

Post by: cnotold on July 28, 2006, 11:29:33 AM: sorry dude.... i would like to get some lessons for myself as well, let me know if u find any good one =)

the software is called guitar rig 2... apparently if u get the setting right the result is amazing.... i find it quite hard to get the sound i want though.

Post by: Muso on July 30, 2006, 02:28:02 PM: hey mate u got a good tab for that topgun thing please? also how does guitar rig work, is it guitar into line in on the soundcard or do u need some kind of add on?
Title: rebel yell top gun sample!
Post by: gingataff on July 30, 2006, 03:28:03 PM: Guitar Rig uses a combined foot-controller audio interface/sound card, but the demo version can be used with a separete interface or soundcard if its high enough quality.

Post by: Muso on July 31, 2006, 02:31:24 PM: no chance of tabbing it then? i got it down up to the bit where you alt pick the c major arpeggio and then it goes into a couple of major triads with slides its just the next bit.

Post by: fps_dean on August 16, 2006, 07:46:11 PM: Tone is overall not too bad... just need a mic and some tubes and less clipping on that ;)

When I first got my RYs, I didn't really like their sound much until I plugged them into a cleaner amp... Turns out, my problem was with my SL-X.... the Amperex 12AX7s gain up and compress way too early for a 4 tube amp, so I put the RFT 12AX7s back in and bingo, problem solved. Much better than a Duncan '59 too... the mids and highs are there and smooth on the Rebel Yells....
