@Plague Scythe Studios - @4:04 - Holy skipping-audio-in-stereo-effects Batman!
Please skip to 6:21 to avoid suffering epileptic seizures. (unless you're into that sort of thing)
What the hell LOL. That's not happening on my local file. RUclips is a special beast.
@@PlagueScytheStudios
Indeed it is a special beast. So special, as a matter of fact...
I should give RUclips a crash helmet as a
stocking stuffer this upcoming Christmas.
i thought my damn earphones had gone fooqd again
ahahaha yea, i just purchased my new Clarett 4pre Usb interface and i thought that i would have to RMA it lol..
Also from 27:24 - 28:36 Terrible sound !!!!
The huge advantage to use this pluging, over any hardware, is the possibility to change any parameter AFTER recording your track. I have just started to record my tracks with WoS and this ability to change whatever from the cab, mic type and position... during the mix is awesome. I never see that raised in WoS comments, but it’s the maint point to me.
I record a DI alongside my amp and cab into my DAW so later if I want to reamp I can use amp sims and ir's with the DI. I can also send the DI signal back out with a reamp box to reamp using hardware.
They offer it currently for free with 2 cabinets with a lifetime license as a stay at home action. I tried it out in mixing solely for using all those microphone and amp options to use it as a saturation system and man this alone is totally dope and legitly convincing. Great great software.
That’s how I got mine, then I got an upgrade when I got my captor. It’s my go to cab sim now
Took me a hot second to clock the Devin Townsend riff when trying out the arcade mode!
thanks for that, the bass section sounded pretty cool!
Right on! I love WOS. Using it currently on the album I'm Recording/Engineering and couldn't be happier!
I use WoS sometimes too, but note that some plugs such as the Reaxis you used in demonstration can be used soley as power amp sims too by shutting off the preamp and cab sims within their associated GUIs. The presence control of the power amp section in Reaxis seems to act more like a presence control should to boot although it does not have a depth control. Just a thought for additional optionality.
Cool video bro...just getting into WOS now and this helped...thanks! 🙏
I remember being pretty pumped for Wall of sound when Glenn covered it for the first time a while back, but never really felt like i got good tones from it (mainly because I wasnt skilled in audio at all, really, and i wasnt really doing any serious mixing at the time).Had it with a Torpedo Live, which i ended up selling since i never used it (kind of regret it now)
But i just picked up the Captor 16 since my roommate and I got a blue voodoo, definitely want to give Wall of Sound another shot, particularly with some of the licensed celestion IR's. After Kohlekeller did the video showing off the Celestion Blue's I really want to try using that sound in metal. and since they're $300 bucks a pop, guess I will try using IR's for now.
I use plug ins sparingly. I haven't experimented with the wall of sound software yet.
I try to capture sounds they way I want them without any plugs except for EQ or compression to have things fit in the mix. I am considering the Torpedo Can M as a hardware option with my Torpedo Captor.
It's a great plugin. I use it a lot. I just wish they would redesign the UI, it's pretty outdated and looks cheap.
@Plague Scythe Studios Hi, thank you for this useful video! I'm using WoS in GarageBand with a Focusrite Scarlett. Although the input level is correctly set on the interface, I always have to lower significantly (about 12dB) the input gain in WoS to avoid any saturation. Do you know the reason for such a difference between the input levels in GarageBand and in WoS? Thanks!
What a great video!
I’ve been using Scuffham S-Gear but I recently have been looking into this because of the George Lynch Cab Sims.
Wondering if I should make the switch.
I like Scuffham OK, I wish you had the ability to bypass the amp section and only use the cabs in it.
@@hereonmars you can’t? It can independently activate amp, fx and cab. Does deactivating the amp mute the input?
Great demo and explanation. I have the two notes torpedo cab pedal, which is a one cab hardware version, funny thing is that I ended up just using ownhammer and celestion’s 3rd party impulses in It instead of the ones It came with, they sound better to me. To me the power amp emulation is a bit underwhelming, the ignite TPA in my opinion runs circles around this. The ownhammer and celestion impulses actually sound better without the PA activated on my cab pedal....I have used amt preamp pedals to a ds1 boosted by an sd1....my biggest complaint about WoS is that it’s super cpu taxing, if ur using preamp plugins....I like it, still use ignite more though
Cool brother, tell me… when you use the captor with a head for recording how do you deal with the latency introduced when putting WoS plugin on the recording strip? Cheers from London, England UK 🇬🇧😊🇬🇧
This is insane. Metal Zone, DS-1, TS clone, vintage Rockman all great into Focusrite 2i2. Thanks for the video.
I downloaded the trial, have no idea how to start the wall of sound suite.
Don't forget that you can test all the different cab models before buying.
what in the name of god is going on at 4:05
It's quite jarring through earbuds.
@@gregmerritt9366 i thought my headphones are dying or something
Trying to do the Mars Volta kinda thing ;)
That's something for interrogation I'm sure
Just cubase...
Great video! it would be cool if you could review new options like the ML Sound Lab Bogner Cab and GGD Zilla Cab plugins
I have a Schecter 8 string, a Peavey 5150 II that I run through a Two Notes Captor loadbox, into my UMC Behringer USB interface. The amp sound on its own is fine, but as soon as I run IR's or Wall of Sound on any cab, even the dedicated metal ones, the gtrs sound boxy, 2dimensional and flat and lack that dynamism everyone else seems to be getting. What's wrong ?
Are you running the direct 1/4" line out of the Captor to the interface, or the XLR with cab simulation? If you're using the latter, you're double stacking cab sounds which would sound horrible.
I find other musicians tremendously annoying, especially ones with RUclips channels who do shit like this, and on top of that, other metalheads. But I pulled this up because I wanted to see how others were using it. And I gotta say, you're pretty awesome, homie. Keep it nice and straightforward. Also, great riffing for the demonstration. I got a captor and this software and at first, was kinda put off by all the options, but it's growing on me. Interesting re: the power amp emulation and how critical that is to a realistic sound, I had not thought of that previously. But it makes a lot of sense. Anyway, great work and way to not be annoying.
Can this be run along side a captor x in a live rig?
Can this be used with a Neural dsp plugin? I'm new to recording guitar and plugins so just learning about IR's.
Really turned my tone around for the better, I've had wos since 2014 but I didnt properly learn to use it until 2019.
now makes me want to try
Young Guthrie Govan?))
which are your favorite two note irs?
Their having a life time membership now until the end of April..
I'm really diggin' the official Mesa Cabpacks for WoS - and they are a real bargain compared to other companies (8$ each cab). Have you checked them out as well?
I've not but they're on my wishlist. I plan to track guitars with Mesa amps exclusively on one of my planned projects, and will likely turn to Two Notes' cabs rather than miking up my own V30 and C90 speakers.
@@PlagueScytheStudios - good idea! As you surely know you can check all the cabs out for free for evaluation. They are sick! I'm especially diggin' the 2x12 WTE Mesa cab \m/
Holy frame drops...
Thank you strange it doesnt show 2 speaker cabs in graphic window - wonder why there is only one
Linked mode's on. Turn it off and it'll show both cabs in arcade mode. The switch is located within the input module A, which is the second module going from the top down. The option is used for tweaking two cabs at the same time using the same parameters for both.
Can you use any irs? I have quite a few for my Helix, will they work? Thanks
Yes, you can, and you can use every other section of the plugin (like power amp tubes, EQ, exciter,..)! You just have to tick the "User" option in the cab selector section, then select the user IR folder on your computer, then you can browse and select your IRs too.
what preamp plugin are you using at 13:30?
22:30, can you please clarify what you recommend throwing on?
If you only have a preamp plugin or pedal, I was saying to use a power amp plugin to simulate the effects of a tube power section.
Aahhh, now I get it. The last video was about drop tuning, now its dropping frames like skrillex..
👍
I cannot get Protools First to find my WOS AXT file for 64bit. Finds a lot of other stuff. I am using the last version Protools First and WOS AXT both 64 bit.
Pro tools first is limited to plugins it can and cannot run. You most likely will not be able to use this on PT first
I think ProTools first doesn't allow third party plugins 😑
I need to mess with this abit I sold my torpedo cab and got a helix hx fx that I use for my ir's now and I miss the tube power stage from the torpedo.
Andrew Miller I use the cab-m with my helix and there ain’t no way I’m going back. That power tube section adds that missing oomph. Plus no more 128 IR limitation. I’ve got all my IRs on the SD card it comes with.
@@TheKangas96 I just got a cab m and that power tube simulation is epic it makes a massive difference
cool
$8 cab sim VS $500 or more real cab.... hmmm
man the videos are too short make them 3 hours at least
You "five" Two Note's guitar production software a fair shake? Re-read your video description, lol. RUclips isn't the only beast. Typos are, too.
Who really cares about a minor typo?
