SRV Tone in GarageBand? 

I’ve mostly just been using GarageBand on my iPad, so it looks much different from what he was showing. Just more convenient for me, but I should probably start using it on my MacBook. Can you access all of this from your phone or iPad, or are you using a PC or Mac to dial in these tones? Maybe I will give this one a try. Even though I’ve pretty much moved onto my boss GT1. This tone sounds really good!! 🤘🏻🎸🇺🇸

@@heyjarrod How do you use your phone with this kind of software? How exactly does it work? Do you plug your guitar into your phone, and does the sound come out of the phone speakers (or headphones), or...what? I'm new to this stuff.

Yeah, absolutely so. That's some good playing here and I'd wish for something like this on a Hendrix tone, too.

Glad to help.

Ha!

@@Texasbluesalley You're not that guy? I swear - SWEAR you look/sound just like him.

Some of the more expensive amp sim software will respond like that when you roll back your volume, but in my experience Apple's stuff doesn't respond quite as naturally.

I usually work in Logic, and I run Superior Drummer 3 from ToonTrack. They have a bunch of built in loops with the software, as well as midi packs you can buy. Their stuff is so much better than what I could program. A lot of those midi packs will also work in EZ Drummer as well, which is less expensive.

These are really good tones, however the level of hiss I get even without pedals with any high gain setting makes it unusable egardless of which guitar I use . I notice you weren't even using the noise gate, obviously I can use a gate but I don't understand how you weren't getting as much noise as I do? This was using a Strat into a m-audio interface into an iMac. It's all fine until o want some decent gain, then I gave to put so much noise gate on its ridiculous.

Yes! Me too. He's not even using the noise gate plug in, which makes mine hum when I turn it off. What gives? Did you ever find out?

@@PicodeGuy No. I never did get a reply about that.

Right now I am using a Focusrite 18i8, before that I had a 2i2. It doesn't matter as much for plugging a guitar right in, but the mic preamps on the Focusrite stuff are very nice.

@@Texasbluesalley Thanks for your quick reply!

Amplitube 4 sounds much better !

The interface for the pedal and amp sim is the same in both Logic and GB. Where you see the plugins listed is actually more intuitive in Logic IMO. GarageBand tries to be simple, but ends up being harder to use I think.

@@Texasbluesalley totally! I have much more difficult using Logic than GB. Thanks!

I have never had any computer, no matter how powerful, that had acceptable amounts of latency for live use. I could never play live with even the minimum amount of latency they offer, just too distracting.

Sounds great! If you’re getting that tone already, I’m sure you can figure out a way to tweak it if you think it is lacking. Doesn’t seem like there would be a need for a follow up, you might want something more specific for yourself.🤘🏻🎸

Guitar is plugged into an audio interface and a set of studio monitors will do the job. (Focusrite scarlett audio interfaces are very nice in my opinion but unfortunately i can't suggest any studio monitors because i don't have any :P )

@@berkbozdemir2533 - Thank you!

Look for the Dual Showman amp in Amplitube.

@@Texasbluesalley unfortunately it’s not available on AT5. This is the list with of the Fender amp and cab collection on amplitude 5 - AMPLIFIERS '57 Champ '57 Deluxe '59 Bassman LTD '64 Vibroverb Custom '65 Deluxe Reverb '65 Princeton '65 Twin Reverb Bassman 300 Champion 600 MH-500 Metalhead Pro Junior Super-Sonic TBP-1 Vibro-King - CABINETS 1x10 '65 Princeton 1x10 Pro Junior 1x10 Vibratone 1x12 '57 Deluxe 1x12 '65 Deluxe Reverb 1x12 Super-Sonic 1x15 '64 Vibroverb Custom 1x6 Champion 600 1x8 '57 Champ 2x12 '65 Twin Reverb 3x10 Vibro-King 4x10 '59 Bassman 4x12 MH-412SL 8x10 Bass 810 PRO

Sorry, I forgot, it's in the Hendrix pack.

@@Texasbluesalley thank you for getting back to me. It’s the American Vintage D? And I apply all the amp EQ settings exactly as the ones in GarageBand? Including the two 7 band graphic EQ pedals and the parametric EQ filter? Thank you so much in advance.

That could be arranged. I use it regularly. 👀

That would be fan-tastic!

More like using overdrive or boost pedals. The pedals they have in GarageBand are decent, but aren't quite what I needed, so I'm using EQ pedals as clean "shaped" boosts instead. The different EQ curves allow me to more precisely emphasize the frequencies I want boosted.

GB looks different on iPad I believe - this is the desktop app interface

Yes, there is some great stuff in there.

@@Texasbluesalley You should make a video about it !!

GarageBand is software made for Mac and iPad (or iPhone) by Apple. I think on the iPad it's free to use, and $4.99 for some additional instruments. The Amp and Pedal tools I'm showing here are included in the free version I think.

Texas Blues Alley how are you playing it with you guitar? What’s the sound coming from?
