This isn't my kinda music but it sounds so good, I love watching this channel even though it's miles away from what I play because it sounds and is played so well
Please make some packs I absolutely love that heavy neural dsp granophyre tone. Although I don’t have Ableton Live for the reverb. Your tone is honestly the best I’ve ever. Than you for showing us what you do to achieve these most people hide it and take it to the grave. I also love your tone with the gojira plugin.
Great video, McRocklin! The overdrive effects we're cool but my favorite was the space dust. I learned so much about compression and plug ins that I didnt know before. Thanks for the knowledge, cheers mate!
The tones, stories, techniques on your videos are just a bonus, I really come for your playing! You have some of the best phrasing I have heard in a long time.
Hi Thomas, I posted these questions 2 months ago when your video was released, I never got an answer and I still really hope you can explain more about these, Thanks! 1: What are your latency and buffer settings? with that amount of plugins I wonder if you feel any latency 2: Could you explain more in detail about how you configured the macro for the different FX racks? 3: Are you running those FX racks in parallel on different channels or everything is assigned to one channel? 4: The "guitar rec" channel that gets its input from the "guitar rack" channel is assigned as separate to avoid the latency induced when using the monitoring? It's great to see this kind of videos that show your experience as a recording and mastering engineer, I hope you can still do a video about the time you stopped playing and how you regained shape and motivation, Thanks as always! 🤘🏻
1. Total latency is 6ms - feels pretty tight and in sync with no discernible latency felt. 2. I use the Ableton chain selector feature. 3. Every effect is run in serial. One lane/line for each tone. 4. That’s just so I can record the final sound of the channels in one shot, so it’s easy to edit later. It is the final output from my guitar plugin chain. No additional effects are added after this.
I posted this questions last week but somehow my comment disappeared, so here they are again hoping you can answer, Thanks! 1: What are your latency and buffer settings? with that amount of plugins I wonder if you feel any latency 2: Could you explain more in detail about how you configured the macro for the different FX racks? 3: Are you running those FX racks in parallel on different channels or everything is assigned to one channel? 4: The "guitar rec" channel that gets its input from the "guitar rack" channel is assigned as separate to avoid the latency induced when using the monitoring?

The video I have been searching for. I have fiddled with Amplitube 4 for a year and not been fully satisfied. Then I found Neural DSP's Saldano modeler and I fell in love. I really want to create a unique sound through my DAW but have no real clue how to do it. I don't have any of my equipment (pedals, rack units) any more. So I have had to start over.
Thomas dude - Radial Shotgun - 1 to 4 output signal splitter with iso'ed and buffered outs (and stereo too I believe!), or if you want to go nuts, they also build a 1 to 7 splitter, their JD7 is pretty awesome too.....which I think I saw Vai use in one of his gear/studio tour vids? Maybe the Harmony Hut one from like a decade ago?
Every aspect of all your videos in all their contents are second to NONE!! Question: how did you get the killer heavy gain tone in your Jem77fp history video?
Great video sir. You're a hard working man, and it's paid off! Great tones and interesting choices of intervals and chord voicings. Very cool. Regards Tim Smallwood. ( original family from the UK from village called Smallwood village .) 1690s came to the US and of course we conquered! 🤣🤟
Amazing insight and fantastic sounds. Can't wait for Boss to release the Katana Patches you've made for the Artist MKII. If they sound anywhere near as good as these sounds, they are going to be awesome Keep up the good work!!
Awesome, awesome video… Probably 90% of all my playing these days is in the DAW (Logic) and I have everything from a Kemper to an Axe-Fx to Helix Native to Amplitude and, of course, a nice collection of Neural DSP plugins that continues to grow. I do all my tone chasing out of a rack unit and installed plugins. I do about all of my playing in the DAW, including a project I have named “practice” that is for (just guess) practicing over a click track at different tempos, practicing over a drum loop and playing over chord progressions. If I come up with any ideas I record them on any one of a dozen projects I have with bits of inspiration. I’m sure I’m not alone, this is a great way to keep getting better and stay creative while capturing whatever magic that comes from the effort. If I we’re starting over I would start with buying the best guitar I could afford, a DAW and start building a collection of digital options. I like to think of modeling and profiles as crayons and tone chasing is like trying to put different colored crayons in the box. This video is a phenomenal roadmap to doing just that, these are great examples and tone is inspiration to play. Yes, I’ve also dialed in a great, crazy tone and experienced time travel. The “six hours later” joke hits home. One question though: no Eventide H3000 plug-in? I’m a huge Steve Vai guy and Passion and Warfare made me want to quit playing because it was so intimidating with all those multi-effect , impossible tones. To have access to those in a plug-in is incredible. Surprised it didn’t make the video but great video all the same. Thanks!
@@McRocklin It doesn’t matter how long a video is when it’s good but yeah, maybe break down into different parts. I guess it could have been 2 parts with lead and clean tones but I was interested enough to watch it all the way through. Good content, bought the Blue Cat sustainiac thing yesterday because of the video and it’s great. Definitely need to kill the note with a mute or it responds weird and the note will decay unlike the sustainiac but it’s great when you dial it in so the harmonic doesn’t get too boomy. Another crayon in my box to color with, thanks for that…
I avoided for a while computer side for playing guitar and I was using an Katana for whatever my bedroom guitar playing level was been able too give :) Too much of a hassle to get it all right with a daw, too many plugins and what not and I was wasting too much time testing around instead of playing. But, now when I wanna move things a bit forward like recording and stuff, this BlueCat AcueFiend opens some new tones for my barely mediocre solo's, I love it and thx for sharing all the stuff you are using (in all the videos, not just this one). Can you also share what is that lick you play at 17:30? I swear I heard it somewhere, frigging awesome :)
Really great demo and super cool setup. You mentioned at the start about looking for a 3 to 1 splitter, have a look at the Lehle 1@3 SGoS might do the job for you
Is there a basic setup with Neural DSP going through the DAW for us broke people. Show how to setup pedals in the software. A basic video would be awesome.
Been using the DigiTech freqout for feedback. Love it and has synthy theramin tones too. Need the feedbacker for Satch jams when in a daw or even multifx units with headphones. The plug-in you show is for feedback is nice. May have to pick that up too just for au synth leads.
Hi Thomas I was wondering I love the sound when you hit the od pedal I know I can't afford the horizons pedal but any idea if say a boss od or say a ts9 would do the same job cheers
Thank you for replying I wish I could play as well as you do unfortunately my dream of becoming the next Steve via have disappeared lol but credit where it's due your really good keep it up cheers
I was getting pretty good at tuning, I good tune all the strings correctly to eachother fairly quickly, but my bottom string was so out it just wasnt funny. It sounded to flat, so I tightened it, and I think i over-compensated, because by the time I got down to the 3rd string, it was just marginally flat, so I tightened it and snapped. It gave me a huge fright, buy now im wondering, how serious is this? I know you can buy strings and change them, but how easy is it? This guitar is 1 and a half months old, so how close were the strings to needing changing anyway? Yeah, that was pretty scary....
Oh man, I love your video edits, how did you create that 3d animation effect that you see behind you? that stage behind you as if you were in a video arcade. could you teach me? Thanks a lot
Hi, this is all I'm using for my latest rig: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uCIgYmHmMb8.html Much easier and sounds incredible. Guitar, straight into the computer nothing else.
I have an odd question regarding the fishman pickups... do all your guitars sound the same that have fishman moderns regardless of the woods of said guitars or do they have subtle differences tonally that the pickups enhance or diminish depending on the wood of said guitar?
I just fitted up 1 more of my guitars (les paul) with the fishman fluence pickups so I have 2 with that one and my Kiesel. Between mine I can say that there is still a difference, but it is much more subtle than you would normally expect from standard passive pick ups.
@@stevedavis5149 thanks for the response man, I appreciate it. I figured there would be some subtle differences tonally given that different woods and different densities of woods and even construction of the build (bolt on/ set neck/neck thru) all play a role in the tone, however minimal they may be.
Thank you for this, you just blew my mind! 🤣 I always thought pedals in front of plug-ins was possible, just didn’t know what gear to use to do it. Is there any solution to using your collection of plug-ins live besides hauling your computer around? Can you load all of the third party plug-ins into their quad cortex floor unit?
Where can I get some abelton lessons so I can learn how to assign something or shape my sound etc etc any McRocklin video classes that would be very helpful an I would be greatful for any help an direction .Thank you
What OH IR are you using for that first high gain tone with the Granophyre? Looks like a blend of an M25+V30 from the ZLSF 212 pack but wondering which mic and/or mix you're using. Sounds huge!!!
Please explain more about the macro for the rack selector, Thanks! I put another comment here yesterday with more detailed stuff and now it seems it was deleted, did you saw it?
I can't believe you can get a standard E sounding so heavy. I just stumble apond your videos, thinking about signing up to your school cause l love your playing!
