i have a problem with low-mid and low-end in my DI guitars even using the roll-off on the interface :( cab simulator ML Sound Lab MIKKO2 (free version!) sounds incredable for high-end you can litterally copy-paste a second track with a different mic without any phase issues! 57 and 414 mic blend on seperate tracks i don't suggest having 2 mics on 1 track :) *figured out my low-end DI guitar issue... using a sterling interface DO NOT use the inpiuts on the back use the front inputs they REALLY are tailored for instruments 💀💀💀

@Real_Epic ​Try using a multiband compressor with just the low band engaged. That helps to smooth all that out. I'll make a video about this in the next month or two! Thanks for the comment🤘 ​

@@RaytownProductions thank you! :)

Overloud TH-U , for some reason it sounds way better than neural DSP and STL tones 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Mixwave mike stringer has been my go-to for months

As a 73 yr old I can definitely relate to that!!

Sometimes it can be hard to tell with the guitar tone, but maybe you will notice much more clarity with the other instruments. Try focusing your ears on the top end of the voice and the drums instead of the guitar maybe? Hope that helps!

😂

Yessss!! Waves Kramer tape does this for me on guitars and also drums! (Just have to be careful not to kill the drum transients!)

Nice!!! I didn't know that. I'll have to try it out 🤘

Hell yeah man! Glad it helped!

I saw Kristian Kohle do exactly that in a video once, and I’ve been doing that ever since. Sounds way more natural and less phasey to me.

@@jaredt3985 I don't watch a lot of his videos, but I think perhaps I've seen it. I have a habit of playing the progression just on the high E and B strings to add bite, so it's just natural to want to low pass those tracks.

Odd you are seeing/hearing fizzyness with the ToneX, I have the one pedal and use the VST version of it as well, and it so far has been the most realistic and least fizzy/fuzzy sounding sim/digital modeler I have used, I almost always use EQ anyways on the tone though to fine tune the tone.

The best move

Wow! That seems really low to me, but every song is different. 🙂

❤❤❤ thank you so so much

Ha ha! Yep, that's more fitting!

Try those EQ cuts I showed! That might be the ticket 🤘

What sounds good in solo might not sound good in the mix.

​@@danielnielsen6900Yes, and vice versa!

Oh they do. Almost all of them and I've used and owned a lot of them. A good ribbon mic (instead of the awful 57 everyone swears by, which WILL give you plenty of fizz) on a cab kills anything else. I wish more people would actually learn how to mic a cab properly instead of searching for IR's. Too much work I suppose...and I'm probably old...

For me the 3.5-4.5khz is the harsh spot...

Agree, all those higher mid frequencies sound horrible isolated/boosted, should we cut them all?

nope don't cut anything unless you really know what you are doing and can hear the problem without boosting. boosting gives you a false sense of a problem. any freq you boost like that is going to stick out you know. he does a sweep in the video but nothing really sticks out to me as an issue, you hear the problem but he his boosting it so it creates a problem you know? plus the cut is waaaaay too much. i do agree with him on cutting the super highs like that, a lot of amp sims, software and floor models are harsh and a lot of people do the shelf in the super highs. i should make a video with my take on it because i've been down this road, watched so many videos with the whole boost sweep find bad freq cut "tricks" .. its mostly bs

@@rjgeigersmusic Totally agreed with you mate, that "boost the frequency that annoys you the most" trick is false, because like you said, you are boosting something of course it will sound bad. Sometimes people create problems for themselves, the trick i always use is to use reference tracks of bands i like and do my mix based on that.

Best one out there. It feels very real!

Agreed. I have spent way too much money on amp sims, and STL JM is my favorite by far.

Is it worth picking up and replacing archetype gojira?

​@@malcolmrff i got Gojira from neural and even with the improvements that goes with the Gojira X, STL middleton is still worth it for many reasons, and ESPECIALLY for beginners. The "input autoleveling" feature is a real treasure and will teach u a lot on how to record ur signal properly. All the presets are monstrous and come with an Eq that u can learn from in order to reproduce the tone u love the most with any other VST. U can see the approach of Middleton on EQing (and that's priceless). All the amps feels real, because they're reproduced digitaly components by components and that's a huge difference ! The cab section is one of the best i ever heard (the cab are from the personnal collection of Middleton, the mic placement and behaviour is really well reproduced...) effects are simple but sounds like a dream... shall i continue ??? I mean, u can go for it. U'll thank josh and STL later u can really understand with this plug in what IS a USABLE tone and how to achieve to dial in such ones, and that's for me, the best feature. Plus Josh did a lot of videos explaining HIMSELF how to use his plug in and dial tones, and then mix it... Gold on a plate

Low end doesn't typically make your guitars harsh, but I DO roll off a lot of low end from my guitars.

you still have to compensate depending on your interface

Some people do! It does have a "width" to it that does away when you roll off the top end. But I feel like it sits better with the instruments when you do roll off that fizzy stuff. Thanks for the comment 😊

Yeah, real amps also have a lot of fizz, also it depends more on the cabinet than anything else... like put that plugin through a good IR and then put a real head with the same IR, that would be a good comparison.
