You are right, there is also reverb on the master track. It’s an IR called “going home” that was part of a free library - I have to remember where I got it from and I’ll let you know 😎
To me the unprocessed part sounds way better. You went overboard and destroyed the original tone to make it sound like something it isnt. It might be a good choice for the particular track you're making, but I disagree that the original tone is "terrible" on its own, or that it was made "better" by this. I think the only problematic part of that guitar for most uses is that high resonance, but you took out way more from it than that. The IR trick is really cool though, props.
Fair enough! I much prefer the warmer tone after the processing, but of course it’s a matter of taste. I tend to be quite sensitive to “chirpy” sounds, maybe more than the average person, so that may be why you perceived that I removed too much from these resonances. I instead felt like I could have removed some more hehe!
@@TommoGuitar This is way lower high end than most music or even acoustic covers. You aren't mixing in a crowded setting with other instruments, and it does sound really muffled. I thought it was for a bigger mix before checking the description. Could be a hearing problem? Or maybe you're just a fan of that old guitar record sound that has very little clarity in it. I have a friend who listens exclusively to stuff that sounds like it was made on the cheapest recorder from 1960s or something. If you were going for a similar analog record vibe, it worked, it definitely sounds like a guitar recorded in the 80s or 90s, in the nicest way possible
Nah I disagree. Piezo pickups always sounded bad to me and don't even sound like a guitar. It sounds like what a 2007 motorola thinks a guitsr sounds like. The way he was able to eliminate the harshness and craft the sound of an authentic guitar using orocessing is pretty impressive. I agree that the warmer tone lacks some clarity, but I'd take a warmer tone over the piezoelectric sound. On top of that, the sound could probably be eq'd after the fact anyway
Thank you both! I should add that I always preferred the slightly duller tone of a nylon string to the high end “plinkiness” of a steel string, so some of the “dullifying” is intentional :) In that sense it’s true that I am trying to make my guitar sound like something it’s not!
Nice easy tricks and the result is much better. Also the full track is really great.
Awesome glad you enjoyed it! I’m nowhere near a pro at mixing, so if I can do anything it must be easy 🤣
It certainly makes a huge difference in making the tone warmer and fatter.
Yep, the IR does most of the heavy lifting !
Nice! Thanks Tommo!
Good job Tommo. What was the reverb you used here? Sounds nice =) *edit, you used the Nembrini Delay?

First like! 😎
If you got a better guitar than the Yamaha You wouldn't need to fix it.
That goes without saying! And also if I had a professional sound-proofed studio with $2000 microphones 😂
