(fr)Tweaking away

Post by HalfBlindLefty »

First full BT recording with the Egnater Tweaker.
To be honest this is as far away from a real song as my right eye from seeing light :rofl: This piece is just a carrier for some sound testing.
Actually I'm just firing note flurries to see how the Tweaker responds to my playing dynamics.
Oh my, I had to activate the compressor on the Gmajor to keep the dynamics on the scale :) My DAW went beserk and tried to shoot lines above my screen :wink:

Anyway, here is the (rather long and boring) track. I didn't change any settings on the amp, but switched across pickup configs on my strat. Used the Volume control to cut off just a bit of that high frequencies ( you know just a tiny bit of rolling of the volume)


(fr)-Tweaking away.mp3 - (10.08 MiB)

The amp was set to AC (Vox - ish) other settings are below, as are the microphone positions.

Mhh didn't mention I switched off the reverb for the ending 30 secs or so ;)

To consider. I use Google translator. :icon_whoknows:

HBL ......... You are pulling the listener and then, release. You make it through the whole song. You think your song is boring. I do not think so. It has variations that go home with me anyway.
Soooooo very blues. :pray:

Sounds a bit different than the other examples, which sound to me much more crispy. The dynamics are really very high and sometimes like you said made your DAW sweat :big_smile:
Anyway, again a great sound on a pro level. :clap:

Thanks Michael :)

You are right Gerd, It is like it was when Cybie first came in. Took me a while to find the settings that are right for me and my guitars. This time I hope to be quicker about it.

Sounds very good to me, especially as it's so early in the process of getting used to the gear.

Difficult to describe what makes it sound good. It just seems to be right. The compressor on the G Major is working nicely - it's managing to cut the peaks without losing dynamics! :thumbsup:

I'll not say anything about the reverb v no reverb. In my persona of rVB I'm not an unbiased observer. :tease:
