As the author of the Tim R model I am happy to share the specifics of that model. Pretty simple to be honest. I used an Audient id44 with a modified Reference DI (modded to work as a ReAmp box). Magnatone was a stock new unit in to a Boss Waza TAE. All this was captured through reaper and I used Colab for the training. That amp is absolutely stunning.
@@SudoMetalStudio I did not really know what to expect from the Magnatone but it is a seriously impressive amp. Was stoked to model it. And you are more than welcome mate. Great to see people doing great stuff with NAM. keep it up. Enjoy.
Thanks for the video -- nice walkthrough of your process! Ardour has a "Solo Safe" mode for tracks -- I would bet that your Solo Guitar 3 track had that enabled, which is why it was playing when you soloed the synth. Right click on a track's solo button and toggle that option from the pop-up menu.
Oh wow you are right! I didn't even know about the right click settings. I just checked and I really had "Solo Isolate" enabled for that track. Not sure how I did it but there it was 😅
great, thanks for the explanation! what do you think about recording drums in Ardour only? Seems like this gotta be a good idea to have all the things in a single project, but I'm not sure. I was thinking of playing midi, route it to Ardour and use one of the drums plugins to make midi notes sound.
Yea that should work just fine. If you play the midi in using e-drums, you should have the jack buffer size at 128 or under. At 256 and above the latency is already pretty distracting with drums.
Hello Sudo, I could route the midi from ardour to hydrogen, but hydrogen isn't receiving the input for some reason, any idea why this can be happening?
Check Hydrogen Midi setting that says something like "use midi output note as input note" or similar. It needs to be enabled. From Ardour check that you have either "in" (input) monitoring on if you play live, or "disk" monitoring on if you play recorded midi line. Try create a beat in hydrogen and export that as midi, then import that midi line to ardour and try with it. This ensures that you are passing correct midi notes using expacted midi channel. I also remember seeing bug report in some version of Hydrogen related to midi input not working. If none of abovr works, you might have better luck checking hydrogen issues from github: github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/issues
@TANKE777 If you use Hydrogen version 1.2.0, there is a bug that applies to midi input. Workaround is to disable "Discard MIDI messages after action has been triggered" from Preferences -> MIDI System. In my case I also have to use JACK-MIDI and ignore note-off (as otherwise only every second hit plays).
Funny enough, it was actually me who investigated that bug about a year ago and it got immediately fixed :D github.com/hydrogen-music/hydrogen/issues/1751
@@SudoMetalStudio Thanks for the replies. Yes, I am using Hydrogen version 1.2.0. I disabled "Discard MIDI messages after action has been triggered" , use JACK-MIDI and ignore note off. What I found out is that now I can play the ¨keyboard¨ from the midi track connected to hydrogen and it will go to the hydrogen mixer, and I get sound. But for some reason when I play the midi (previously saved from hydrogen and imported into Ardour) it plays with no sound and Hydrogen mixer is not picking it up. I am brainstorming what could it be, testing many things but still to no avail. I will install the latest version of hydrogen and see if the problem persists.
I got it working finally, installed version 1.2.3, still didn't worked, then realize that the midi track from ardour didn't had the hydrogen plugin, just a blank midi. I didn't thought that was necessary but it appears to be. Thanks for your help Sudo! keep rockin' !
Sure, I'm in! PM me at Discord what you have in mind and let's just do it at some point. Plan ahead as much as you can as I'm quite limited with my time as you probably know 😉

One of my favourite models! Thank you for capturing and sharing it, and those dozens of other models too!

Hey, it's me Linus here. Wanna do a collab just for fun? That would be awesome! Good news as well I'm upgrading my pc very soon :)
