Guitar amp modeling with Paul Reed Smith: The making of GTR3
Guitar guru Paul Reed Smith and producer Peter Denenberg in an exclusive behind the scenes look at the techniques used for modeling PRS' amps and cabinets for Waves GTR3. For more info, go to www.waves.com
how much money was he paid on this to pretend it wasn’t overdubbed?…
What makes you think it’s overdubbed?
do you hate this product or something?
some was left out
Paul isnt the kind of guy to pull that sort of bullshit
I cant believe this is coming from a computer
its really cool to watch how the pro’s pic out various mics and how they set them up etc…one complaint is that they put reverb AFTER the amp. this is not really done traditionally except in a studio with separate rooms and all the tons of equipment. my point is that I cant really A/B it if I dont have a studio at home and I can’t hear what your software sounds like w/out the reverb. I understand that this opens up new doors but its almost like cheating. laptop at a gig, I wouldn’t
cheaper than a stack but maybe not as sturdy
it probably sounds off because the camera filming them ISNT capturing the audio coming from the monitors.
if they overdubbed it, it’s to let the people viewing this compare real/software
not to make PRS look better
Go download GTR3 Solo for free for a year…..
I am going to an all Guitar Rig 3 and GTR3 computer rig.
mac mini in a rack with Logic Studio pro, GR3 and GTR3.
Use PA speakers instead od guitar cabs and you are good to go.
can you put a phisicle stomp box before the soft ware
ok, paul said: “sometimes better than hardware because it is noise free”, so plz tell me: it is obvious that a soft/hardware noise thresold device (outside gtr3) is being applied. Anyone with the same question here?
Tube amps are very susceptible to RF noise, especially when you crank them to get their ideal tone. That’s what they were getting at, software modeling doesn’t have that much of a problem with noise.
that’s so cool. nevertheless i prefer tube amps. one thing modeling can’t do as well is deliver the same feel. but it is amazing the tones they can get with modeling. check out lincoln brewster.
cool as far as digital emulating goes, but you know what theyre emulating? tube amps! I can totally see why a recording engineer would prefer this to cut out unwanted noise and the unpredictablility of tube amps, but any real guitarist wont feel at home unless its through the valves. thats just where the best tones come from, and I think we can all agree. cool program but I will lug my mesa lonestar any day
I think it’s kind of interesting that Paul Smith brought in a Sewell and now Sewell is designing the P.R.S. amps.
That said, the Pritchard amps are pretty cool too. Michael Pritchard designed some of the earlier P.R.S. amps but interestingly enough they were solid states.
ive tried and think fantastic-my fave..its better than amps .period..how many can turn tube amps up loud as they should be and have a convenient portable recording and live rig?!..
How good are PRS amps? For extremely low tunings? I am at F-Standard on my sixstring, Meshuggah’s tuning.
I play grind, slam, and some deathcore.
Experimental stuff actually.
Great soundS!! What model is that guitar Paul is playing?
Wasn’t Matt Garcia from Myrtle Beach, Sc going to build amps in 2005 for PRS ?
We never hear the tones of anything but the pre amp distortion sound.
Where are you going to get the chance to turn an amp up all the way like an old Plexi 50 or 100 watts and get the saturation of the tranny and the breakup of the speakers? Let me tell you, never. Not in any club, not unless you are in large stadiums or in a unique situation. People simply do not want that in their face. That is why the rage these days is small 20 watt amps that are STILL too loud.
you could get a attentuator
How is this related to the video?
Do you honestly beleive that we won’t, in the future, have sufficiently excellent software and processing power that a human wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a computer simulated amp and a tube amp?
Exactly. Thats what separates the men from the boys. If you can not talk shoulder to shoulder on the stage, you are going to sound like pepper and doo-doo to the room. If you are too loud, your sound engineer is nearly helpless. This is especially true for a bassist. Get the sound like, turn up to a feel good level, and let your engineer do his job!
but this plugs not for that/ its very useful as it sounds
