ARADAZ (official website)

Each of these three amp sims has an integrated cabinet that you can deactivate if you wish. My opinion is that they make the sound a bit too dull. I prefer to deactivate them and use a separate cabinet simulator.

Aradaz doesn't exist anymore. Since October 2009, his creator founded the Kuassa company, which produces retail amplifier simulators, including the excellent Amplifikation Creme, as well as the also excellent Vermilion.

DEMOS SETTINGS

Miscellaneous

Indications - Microphone positioning

Guitar amplifier simulations

ACDC, Chic, Depeche Mode, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Niagara, Nirvana, Oasis, Pink Floyd, Simon's Blues, Simon's Metal, The Animals, The Doobie Brothers, The White Stripes

Indications

All guitar parts were played by Simon Chenu (guitar player, pianist, drummer, singer, guitar teacher) with three different guitars:
- Les Paul-shaped guitar, the brand is SR Guitars, equipped with 3 pickups: a modern Humbucker neck pickup, a vintage P90-like middle pickup, a vintage Humbucker bridge pickup.
- Fender Stratocaster American Deluxe with stock pickups.
- Fender Telecaster American Deluxe with 2 Humbucker custom pickups : The neck pickup is a Lollar Regal, the bridge pickup is a Fender Wide Range. Simon used the Lollar for demos with distorsion, and the Fender for clear demos.

For each simulator tested:
- Each demo was recorded with all of the three guitars described above,
- Each demo includes two guitar tracks, recorded separately (no copy and paste), and panned right and left in the stereo field.
- With each demo, two different impulse responses (different microphones) were used with each guitar.
- No distorsion pedal was used, in order to show whether or not the simulations can produce the distorsion needed in some musical genres.

The settings of each demo are identical for all three guitars. Some demos will sound better with one guitar than it will on the other two. For instance, in Nirvana's demos, the sound of the Mercuriall demos recorded with a Telecaster is closer to the original sound than what I got with a Les Paul or a Stratocaster, because I made the settings for Telecaster first.

Ideally, each amp sim tested should use different impulses, in order to find the microphone and the positionning that fits the amp best, as you would do when recording real amps with real microphones. Unfortunately, this would take me a considerable amount of time to do, and I cannot afford to do that.

All the impulses I used for these demos are from Redwirez. No EQ was applied, I just added a slight compression on some demos, and a bit of reverb so that it doesn't sound too dry.

These tests help to demonstrate how important the choice of an impulse is. From my experience, I would estimate that the sound you get is: 30% from the guitar you use, 30% from the amplifier head, and 40% from the impulse. Of course, these values will vary according to the pickup settings on your guitar, the settings of the amplifier, and the use of either a clean or a highly distorted sound will greatly influence the relative importance of these elements.

Microphone positioning

Microphone positioning    Microphone positioning
(pictures: copyright Redwirez)

The closest the microphone from the center of the speaker, the less proximity effect you get, and so you get less lows.
The closest the microphone from the cab, the more precision you get. By moving the microphone farther, the sound becomes less "harsh".

"Back in black" by ACDC

A good old-school Hard Rock sound from the early 80s for this famous riff by ACDC.

Guitar on the left:
1 impulse of baffle Marshall 1960A (loudspeaker: G12M) through a microphone Neumann U67 in Cap Edge position, at a distance of 2 inches (5 cm). Stereo panning: 100% left.

"Le Freak" by Chic

From what I've read, Nile Rogers, Chic's guitar player, doesn't use an amplifier. He plugs his guitar (a stratocaster nicknamed "The Hit Maker") directly into the studio's console preamp. As the objective here is to test amp simulations, I obviously won't do the same. In order to get this clear high sound, I used the following cab impulses:

Guitar on the left:
1 impulse of Fender Dual Showman cab (loudspeaker: JBL D130) through a microphone AKG C414B-ULS in Cap Edge position, at a distance of 4 inches (10 cm). Stereo panning: 100% left.
1 impulse of Fender Dual Showman cab (loudspeaker: JBL D130) through a microphone Neumann U47 in Cap position, at a distance of 2 inches (5 cm). Stereo panning: 50% left.

"Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode

This riff was originally played on a Gretsch guitar, through a Rivera Venus 5 amp head and a Rivera 2x12 cab equipped with Celestion G12T-75 loudspeakers. I don't know how the original studio recording was made, but live, the sound is transmitted by a Shure SM57 microphone, and a Shure KSM32 microphone, both placed against the cab cloth. I don't have any KSM32 impulse, but from the actual microphone response diagram, it seems that the closest response curve is that of the Earthworks TC30 microphone, for which I have impulses from Redwirez. Also, I don't have an impulse from the Rivera cab originally used by Depeche Mode, but I do have Marshall and Bogner cabs impulses, both equipped with G12T-75 loudspeakers. I used the following cab impulses:

Guitar on the left:
1 impulse of Bogner Uberkab cab (loudspeaker: Celestion G12T-75) through a microphone Shure SM57 in Cap position against the cloth. Stereo panning: 100% left.
1 impulse of Bogner Uberkab cab (loudspeaker: Celestion G12T-75) through a microphone Earthworks TC30 in Cap position against the cloth. Stereo panning: 100% left.

"Stairway to Heaven" solo by Led Zeppelin

Undoubtedly one of the most famous solos ever, a true standard that I couldn't ignore here. It was played by Jimmy Page with a Fender Telecaster and a Supro amplifier, from what I could find.

Guitar on the left:
1 impulse of Supro Thunderbolt cab (loudspeaker: Jensen 15") through a microphone Sennheiser MD409 in Cone position, at a distance of 2 inches (5 cm). Stereo panning: 10% left.

Guitar on the right:

"Enter sandman" by Metallica

Another Metal sample from a well-known song by Metallica. Here, I leave the lows in their central position, I lower the mids quite a bit and raise the highs. The saturation is also pretty heavy, depending on the amp sim tested.

Guitar on the left:
1 impulse of Mesa Rectifier cab (loudspeaker: V30) through a microphone Sennheiser MD421N in Cap position, at a distance of 2 inches (5 cm). Stereo panning: 100% left.
1 impulse of Mesa Rectifier cab (loudspeaker: V30) through a microphone Beyerdynamic M160 in Cap position, at a distance of 1 inch (2.5 cm). Stereo panning: 50% left.

Guitar on the right:

"J'ai vu" by Niagara

Great riff in E minor for this Blues Rock song by Daniel Chenevez, guitar player from the 1984-1993 French band Niagara. The original song is played on Marshall amps with a LesPaul guitar, paired with a Stratocaster, but I don't know what amps, stomp boxes or settings were used. To try to get close to the original sound, I used the following cab impulses:

Guitar on the left:
1 impulse of Marshall 1960A cab (loudspeaker: G12M) through a microphone Shure SM57 in Cap position against the cloth. Stereo panning: 100% left.
1 impulse of Marshall 1960A cab (loudspeaker: G12M) through a microphone Beyerdynamic M160 in Cap Edge position, at a distance of 0.5 inches (1.3 cm). Stereo panning: 100% left.

Guitar on the right:
1 impulse of Marshall 1960B cab (loudspeaker: JBL K120) through a microphone Shure SM7 in Cap position, at a distance of 2 inches (5 cm). Stereo panning: 100% right.
1 impulse of Marshall 1960B cab (loudspeaker: JBL K120) through a microphone Neumann M8 in Cap position, at a distance of 6 inches (15 cm). Stereo panning: 100% right.

"Smells like teen spirit" by Nirvana

This famous song starts with a crunch guitar that turns into a heavy saturated sound. The original piece was played by Kurt Cobain on a Fender Mustang left-handed guitar. The information about the amp and cab used for the recording are contradictory but apparently, he often used Marshall 1960A cabs. These are the impulses that I used:

Left guitar:
1 impulse of Marshall 1960A cab (loudspeaker: G12M) through a microphone Shure SM57 in Cap position against the cloth. Stereo panning: 30% left.
1 impulse of Marshall 1960A cab (loudspeaker: G12M) through a microphone Beyerdynamic M160 in Cap Edge Off Axis position, at a distance of 1 inch (2.5 cm). Stereo panning: 90% left.

Right guitar:
1 impulse of Marshall 1960A cab (loudspeaker: G12M) through a microphone Royer R121 in Cap Edge position, at a distance of 2 inches (5 cm). Stereo panning: 30% right.
1 impulse of Marshall 1960A cab (loudspeaker: G12M) through a microphone AKG C414 in Cap position, at a distance of 2 inches (5 cm). Stereo panning: 90% right.

"Wonderwall" by Oasis

One of the most famous songs from Oasis, and probably one of the most covered songs around campfires. The original version is played with an acoustic guitar, so having it played here with an electric guitar might sound a bit strange, but this shows the ability of amp sims to offer a clean, and if possible a warm sound.

Left guitar:
1 impulse of Marshall 1960B cab (loudspeaker: V30) through a microphone Shure SM57 in Cap position, at a distance of 4 inches (10 cm). Stereo panning: 100% left.
1 impulse of Marshall 1960B cab (loudspeaker: V30) through a microphone AKG C414B-ULS in Cap position, at a distance of 6 inches (15 cm). Stereo panning: 100% left.

Right guitar:
1 impulse of Vox AC30 cab (loudspeaker: Silvers) through a microphone Electrovoice RE20 in Cap position, at a distance of 4 inches (10 cm). Stereo panning: 100% right.
1 impulse of Vox AC30 cab (loudspeaker: Silvers) through a microphone Neumann U47 in Cap position, at a distance of 2 inches (5 cm). Stereo panning: 100% right.

"Time" solo by Pink Floyd

The purpose here is to reproduce David Gilmour's great solo and see what simulators are capable of when you have to put your guitar sound up front. The original song uses the distorsion from a fuzz pedal (FuzzFace) but in these demos, I don't use any pedal. I used the following cab impulses:

1 impulse of Hiwatt SE4123 cab (loudspeaker: Fane) through a microphone AKG C414B-ULS in Cap position, at a distance of 0.5 inches (1.3 cm). Stereo panning: dead center.
1 impulse of Hiwatt SE4123 cab (loudspeaker: Fane) through a microphone Royer R-121 in Cap position, at a distance of 0.5 inches (1.3 cm). Stereo panning: dead center.

Simon's Blues

Simon Chenu created this short Blues demo especially for the Grebz website. The demo helps judging the ability of amp sims to generate a good old Blues sound. Please note that I added a spring reverb simulator (SpringAge from Overloud) to stick to the ambiance.

Guitar on the left:
1 impulse of Fender Deluxe Reverb cab (loudspeaker: Oxford 12K5-6) through a microphone Neumann U87 in Cap Edge position against the cloth. Stereo panning: 40% left.

"House of the rising sun" by The Animals

This very famous arpeggio was recorded in 1964 by Hilton Valentine, guitarist of The Animals, with a Grtesch Tenessean guitar and a 30-watt Selmer Twin Selectortone amplifier. I don't have any impulses from this amp, so I picked other cabinets that are good for clean sounds: the Fender Deluxe Reverb and the Vox AC30, which became the amplifier of choice for The Animals after the Selmer.

Guitar on the left:
1 impulse of Fender Deluxe Reverb cab (loudspeaker: Oxford 12K56) through a microphone Shure SM57 in Cap position against the cloth. Stereo panning: 100% left.

"Long Train Running" by The Doobie Brothers

This demo allows to see how well amp sims can produce crystal-clear sounds.

"Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes

The purpose here is to get a vintage, raw sound. The impulses I chose are made after cabs equipped with Jensen loudspeakers, that Jack White seems to be very fond of. The original guitar sound is difficult to reproduce with amp sims alone, as Jack White used a Digitech Whammy stomp box, set down an octave, whereas I only use the amp in the demos.

Guitar on the left:
1 impulse of Fender Twin cab (loudspeaker: Jensen C12N) through a microphone Beyerdynamic M160 in Cap Edge position against the cloth. Stereo panning: 75% left.
1 impulse of Fender Twin cab (loudspeaker: Jensen C12N) through a microphone Neumann KM84 in Cap Edge position against the cloth. Stereo panning: 25% left.

Je suis en République Démocratique du Congo,dans la capitale Kinshasa. Je voudrais monter un home studio avec une bonne qualité de son. Je veux savoir comment installer le matériel, quelle est la disposition. C'est possible de monter un home studio avec un budget de 5000 euros ?

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
<em>Je ne connais pas les tarifs au Congo, mais avec 5000 euros, tu peux déjà te faire plaisir. Après, tout dépend de ce que tu cherches. Si tu n'as rien du tout et que tu veux te faire un local avec isolation sonore, acheter un ordinateur, des logiciels et puis des instruments de musique, c'est pas sûr que ce soit suffisant.

Mais si c'est simplement pour acheter un ordinateur, une interface audio, un micro, un préampli et des enceintes de monitoring, alors oui, 5000 euros suffisent.

Un conseil : il faut que les élements cités ci-dessus soient homogènes dans la chaîne sonore. Inutile d'acheter un super micro très cher pour l'associer à un préampli bas de gamme. Tout doit être dans la même gamme de qualité (ce qui ne veut pas forcément dire dans la même gamme de prix !).

Pour plus de détails, parce que je ne peux pas répondre à tous sur chaque problème particulier, et que ce n'est pas le but de mon site, je vous conseille le site <a href="http://fr.audiofanzine.com/" target="_blanck">Audiofanzine</a>, qui est très complet et dont le forum est une mine d'informations inépuisable.

Bonjour,

Je voudrais pouvoir obtenir un son proche de celui de groupes de pop-punk tel que <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcNiKCmWdYE" target="_blanck">All time Low</a> par exemple, un son assez propre.

J'utilise déjà Guitar Rig 4 et Amplitube mais les sons ne me conviennnent pas. J'ai essayé plusieurs amplis Lepou, mais impossible d'obtenir un son propre. Pourriez vous m'aider svp ? Je vous remercie d'avance.

PS : le MySpace du <a href="http://myspace.com/nastyshades" target="_blanck">groupe dans lequel je joue</a>.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

<em>D'après ce que j'entends, il y a un gros travail d'égalisation pour éviter les recoupements de fréquence, ce qui permet de bien séparer les sonorités des guitares. Je pense aussi qu'ils ont au minimum doublé les prises de guitare pour faire un effet "mur du son". Il y a des guitares partout qui jouent plus ou moins la même chose, on n'a pas un instant de repos.

La caisse claire est très en avant, de même que la voix lead. Juste après, on a les guitares, la basse est plutôt en retrait (en même temps, le bassiste ne fait pas grand-chose d'intéressant, il se contente de suivre les accords) et les cymbales sont assez discrètes aussi.

Il semblerait que le groupe All Time Low utilise des amplis et baffles Mesa, des simus de chez Line 6, et qu'ils font aussi appel à des simulateurs d'amplis et de baffles (comme moi !).

Fais des essais avec des simulations Nick Crow, le NRR1 d'Ignite Amps ou le Lecto de Lepou, en ajoutant un simulateur de baffle avec des impulsions de baffle MESA (je crois qu'il y en a dans celles que je propose).

Hello Grebz,

Super ton tuto sur la convolution ! Très intéressant !
Merci pour toutes ces informations !
Je vois peut être un axe d'amélioration afin d'obtenir une convolution de bonne qualité :
Lorsque tu relies la sortie de ton interface audio à ton ampli guitare, tu as un problème d'impédance qui n'est pas respecté : il faut je pense utiliser une boite de reamp (inverse d'une DI) afin d'adapter l'impédance.
Voilà, bonne continuation et bonne année !!!

PJ

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

<em>Alors là, je n'en sais rien du tout. Dans les différents tutoriaux que j'ai pu lire ou voir en vidéo (en anglais dans la plupart des cas, c'est pour ça que j'ai décidé d'en faire un en français), je n'ai jamais rien vu qui concerne l'impédance. Ce qui ne veut pas dire que le problème ne se présente pas, d'ailleurs.
Mais je dois dire que je n'ai rien constaté de gênant lors de la création de mes impulsions. N'ayant pas de boîte de reamp, je ne vais pas pouvoir essayer, mais que ceux qui suivent le tuto n'hésitent pas à essayer d'en ajouter une dans la chaîne, histoire de vérifier que ça améliore les choses. Et si c'est le cas, tant mieux ! Tout ce qui peut contribuer à améliorer les techniques est le bienvenu.

Et bonne année à tous, bien entendu ! Bonheur, bonne bouffe et teint hâlé !

Bonjour,

J'essaie Sonar X1 depuis quelques jours et je le trouve super, sauf un problème que je n'arrive pas à résoudre : voir mes plugins VST !

J'ai bien entendu précisé le chemin de mes plugins (program files\vstplugins)et la quasi-totalité de mes VST n'est pas visible quand je veux affecter un effet audio à une piste.

J'ai pourtant l'habitude de faire fonctionner des VST dans FL Studio ou Reaper.
Le plus bizarre, c'est que mis à part un ou deux rejetés, Sonar semble les voir lors du scan : je ne comprends pas.

Si vous pouvez m'aider, ça serait sympa.

Merci pour votre site et les impulsions d'ampli à télécharger.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

<em>Si vous utilisez un Sonar 64 bits sur un Windows 64 bits également, il ne faut pas oublier que Windows gère 2 dossiers Program Files différents. Le premier s'appelle "Program Files (x86)" et contient tous les programmes 32 bits. Le second s'appelle "Programmes" (dans la version française, et "Program Files" dans la version anglaise) et contient tous les programmes 64 bits.

Il est tout à fait possible de placer manuellement ses plugins dans l'un ou l'autre des répertoires, mais bien entendu, il faut indiquer à Sonar d'aller chercher dans les deux.

Dans mon cas, mes VST 32 bits sont dans ce répertoire-là :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Vstplugins
Et mes VST 64 bits sont là :
C:\Programmes\Cakewalk\Vstplugins

Certains VST sont fournis avec un programme d'installation. Il ne faut pas simplement les placer manuellement dans le bon répertoire VST, ils vont s'installer eux-mêmes dans un répertoire spécifique, à moins bien sûr de choisir le répertoire VST lors de l'installation.

Par exemple, le simulateur d'ampli TH1 de Overloud s'installe par défaut dans le répertoire C:\Programmes\Overloud
Il n'est donc pas dans un répertoire VST. Pour que Sonar le voit (j'imagine que c'est pareil dans un autre séquenceur), il faut ajouter ce chemin dans le gestionnaire de plugins de Sonar, sinon il sera introuvable dans la liste des VST disponibles.
