    one more trick is to set the delay on one of the routes to 1ms in the mixer section, so you can get that sort of double-track sound

    Steve, thanks for the video. Its really awesome how amazing is the sound that you're taking of the Bias. I didnt have the idea of all the possibilities that the plugin can afford.

    I've found that using the chorus gives a really raw stereo sound if the rate and intensity are 0. Then the width control comes really handy because you can then have the stereo sound as wide as you want.

    Coming in late here, but this video helped me in exploring so much more of the app than before, for example setting the input to mono because it was set to stereo by default and I didn't think to much of it which made some features not working, like the tuner and guitar match.
    And that made the volume not being not loud enough, so I had tu use a equalizer on every patch, also how you showed how the mixer worked when making a stereo rig to pan each amp to either side and adjusting the volume.
    Thank you

  • @Horrorfreak106

    Just found this video and it's awesome! My biggest worry with bias is that a lot of the presets that people showed off sounded a little thin and brittle, but it turns out a lot of people only use a single chain without a mixer. Really helpful thank you!

      Sovereign Sentience have Kemper, had AxeFxIII and pretty all the plugins available at the studio and tested them to death.
      Now I can tell you only TH-U is worth as plugin high end amp/Fx.
      Take a look at my UA-cam channel, have some plugins under testing.
      But I totally recommend Overloud TH-U over Bias FX 2. Sound too fizzy in the high ends, lack of low end.
      Steve make everything sound good but if your listen closely you will ear the oversampling noises and the artefacts that are tiring the audience ears.

    Hey Steve, been following you for a while now. Your insights and experience are a real help to people finding their way. I'm totally new to using computers for plugging a guitar into. My frame of reference is plugging my guitar into an amp and fiddling with knobs. But I am getting increasingly interested in using Bias FX 2. My understanding is that I can get an audio interface, ie Focusrite, plug my guitar and earphones into that - plug the interface into my computer in which Bias FX is loaded and have all those amps and pedals to experiment with through the earphones. Is that correct? I don't think I need a separate DAW but I might be wrong. But if I want to hear the guitar through a speaker, I understand studio monitors like KRK Rokit 5 or 7 would be what I need. Do I need a pair or will a single unit work? Will a single monitor sound like crap or will it be OK?
    Thanks

  • @jasonhudson73
    @jasonhudson73 Рік тому

    So is two mono delays the same sound as a true stereo delay pedal? What about for reverbs? Does Bias FX 2 have true stereo delay and reverb units or do you just double up on mono effect and set them differently for left and right channels like in the video?

    Thanks Steve, really helpful stuff. I do have one question regarding your recording setup though and that is why don't you set up a gate to mute the sound of the pick hitting your strings? Maybe it's just a personal thing but I find it really distracting as this is something you would never have with a mic'd cab. I think it would benefit your sound a good deal but, as stated, that's a personal choice. Just a thought :-)

    Hi Steve: Not sure why, but when I installed BIAS-FX 2 on my 64 bit Windows 7 Home PC, it sounded pretty bad, and nowhere near as good as Guitar Rig 5 (which was already installed and is my current favorite amp modeller) - and sure didn't sound like any of the reviews I've heard on UA-cam. I tried my best to get good tones out of it, but - nada. Not sure if it's my PC or the interface I'm using (Cakewalk UA-1G with ASIO as driver). Comments or suggestions anyone? Thanks in advance!

      Hi there. I think he uses the Focusrite 6i6 2nd Gen Interface. I myself use the Behringer - UMC204HD and it sounds like his or even better. Some points to consider.
      -What headphones you are using ? studio headphone
      -Do you use studio monitors ?
      -Control the gain on your sound interface.
      -Click on "auto button" to control guitar input level in Bias FX 2. (everytime you connect a new guitar)
      -Control de output level in BIAS FX 2.

    Was this the basic version or full license? I've been using the basic version of Bias 1 and very happy with it. I noticed a few differences though: there's no dual path after the mixer on mine (but does still sound stereo), I don't have access to looper or it isn't available etc. I'd be tempted to upgrade but I don't want to have to pay the full pro. license fee. As always great demo Steve, you obviously know hour way around software. Keep it going.

    • @SFBGuitar
      @SFBGuitar  4 роки тому

      I'm not positive, but it's most likely the full license. Companies usually provide the full version so that reviewers can explore all the features. And remember that this is Bias FX and not just Bias. Never tried the original Bias FX, so not sure if dual rigs are a new feature.
