Amplitube 5 | How to make THE BEST CLEAN TONE

Lifesaver! I thought I was doing something wrong bringing the Pre Amp knob to almost zero. Glad to know I accidentally did something right! I love Amplitube, but I was a little disappointed by the clean sounds on a lot of the amps until I discovered that little trick.

[@buraktopaloglu4684]

For instance for the 59 Bassman ltd there is only volume knob instead of pre amp and master. So which one does this volume knob control? By the way great video, thanks!

[@Itsjorgelanzas]

That’s correct!! There’s a lot of amps without both knobs functionality. When there’s only one “Volume” or “gain” knob, that means it controls both, gain and output at the same time. These are the amps people say things like “it doesn’t sound good unless you crank it!” 🤣 because there’s no way to get the combination of gain and output volume that is perfect for you. Luckily, most virtual amps have an independent output knob for the plugin, so you can always balance how much distortion vs volume you have! 🙌🏻 I hope this comment helps, thanks for your nice comment friend!! I appreciate you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Still here. Really digging your videos. I’ve been able to more easily dial in tones with amplitube thanks to you. I kind of got option paralysis! With other amp sims I could dial in tones easily, but amplitube got a little intimidating

[@zyighzag4050]

Omg extraordinary video! Thanks a lot. You answer so many questions I don’t even have the level to ask myself. The way you explain the sound, how it is built, in theory, and how you feel about it, it’s so instructive. It definitely changed the way I configure my sound, and for the best. Thanks a lot for taking time to answer my last video comment about Tonex. I understand what you wrote better with your example. Maybe I can tell you how I use Tonex and what I want to achieve with Amplitube (and I’m still so far with Amplitube). Tonex is my live gear. I have many amps each for one specific situation, with a minimum effects on them, I’m looking for a raw sound to make people shake their head and move their hips basically. With Amplitube, I’m looking for a more “worked” sound, more subtile, with a lot of little things. But it’s way harder to have a satisfying sound with it. Tonex is a good help with that as the default amp are very good, but I manage to crap it anyway 😂 in some rare cases I managed to have something cool. Tbh, I’m not comfortable at all with pedals and effects, that doesn’t help feeling ok with Amplitube I guess. Also, Tonex is very cool when recording to have a base sound to listen to (clean / crunch / rythm / lead / …). I see those tools very complementary, even more with these kind of videos you make. Maybe if you want to (and have time for it) we can get in touch so I show you how I configure my Tonex and why I have it as the only gear I have (not talking about the guitar of course). Finally, even if Tonex models don’t behave exactly like real amps (honestly I find it pretty close), I have to admit I don’t care about the amp, it’s brand or whatever, it just gives a great sound very easily. The IR are a bit disappointing, but their are a couple of them that are quite good and it’s enough for live situation. You can bypass it anyway and use Amplitube IR which is way better for a recording environment. Thanks again for your video, I will watch it another few times on different devices so I can have a very clear idea of the sound you make. Once again, so instructive, I wish you the best

[@Itsjorgelanzas]

Thank you so much for your nice comment!!! I Can see how tonex it’s a wonderful tool! It’s like having a Kemper Pedal!!! My gripe is beyond the utility 🤣🤣 it’s more against IK not releasing more amps models just because they’re riding that tonex wave! I hope they’re closing in to A6 or something like that!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I wanna see Tone King! Two Rock! Bogners, DUMBLES!!! You know what I mean?!? 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 an actual KLON, Roland space echo, a Binson Echorec, you know?? Fun stuff! Keep building that Virtual Studio!!!! I’m so into the idea of having like a bunch of amps, and just vibe hard!! But not like all these all models. I like all the new stuff they did in the end of the A5 launch. Anyway! Thanks again for your nice comments friend! I appreciate you!

@@Itsjorgelanzas Now i have few sliplees nights to change my settings with M-Audio card. Do you have any tips how to use clean and distorted on one project to play one song with bactrack at once? Of course with foot switch.

[@Itsjorgelanzas]

Just of the top of my head, I think the classic way would be: 1) using an amp at the edge of breakup and then a 4 knob guitar like a LP, then, vol around 4 in your neck PU, and full blast on your bridge and alternate to switch distortion types. I guess you could do the same with any guitar with your choice of treble bleed circuit and maybe get a damped pot so it’s not too easy to change volume, and play with the tones of the pickups. Or, 2)make a complex backing track like the pros use, with all the scene changes programmed into the session’s midi (this usually it’s only worth it if your REALLY want to go all out) 🤣 I loved rehearsing with the whole backing track, it gets you in shape faster than anything can! This is a nice topic, maybe if I come up with better ideas I should make a video! Anyway, sorry for the long reply, I hope you have a nice holiday weekend friend! I hope you have love and warmth, food and health. Or at least hope 🙌🏻🤟🏻

Great video. Great demo. Great thoughts. Great teaching. Thanks a lot I don't see a lot of info about Amplitube 5. This is very informative. Would it be possible to use Amplitube 5 to play in real time (guitar to audio interface to PC to audio interface to mixer and mixer to PAs?? hearing yourself pluggin the headphones in the audio interface or via the mixer all players together)

[@Itsjorgelanzas]

Everything you said is possible. With the right interface you can do absolutely anything. Maybe, I would try something with more than two analog outputs so you can send repeating mixes to different sections of the production line. But basically it should be a very simple setup just like you described it! Annnnd!, thank you for taking the time to write such a nice comment my friend! I appreciate you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@aquaticborealis4877]

Nice and simple tutorial. I do find it frustrating how much gain difference there is when selecting presets in Amplitube. Absolutely huge. Some are very loud, and others you can barely hear at all. I get that the amps are modeled accurately, and that gain is different between amps, but it’s a pain when browsing through presets. Btw, what’s that synth you got in the background?

[@predigr]

What is the difference between ToneX and Amplitube 5? Isn't APT 5 already simulates amps? Coud you make a video similar to this including toneX ??

[@Itsjorgelanzas]

Tonex, is a software that basically captures one static snapshot of how a specific amp with a specific set of settings with very little to no adjustability, depending on how picky you get. AT5, is pretty much like having the amp in front of you. You can do ANYTHING you would do to a real amp. Preamps react very similar to the amp, the eq, same, sag and all the nuances that make an amp are modeled. Maybe not absolutely to perfection, but super super good enough, if you know how to use it. Tonex sounds nice if you want the exact sound that they modeled and don’t wanna change anything at all. 😅 I hope this word salad helps my friend! 🙏🏼

[@OrangeMicMusic]

I didn’t see anything in your video related to the input gain. As was mentioned by many people on YT, Amplitube has a big problem with input gain that differs from a model to another. Amplitube models are way far off when compared to the real amps. And because of these complaints, this issue was solved by other plugin developers. The’ve all released “extra notes and tips” on how to set the input gain….but IK Multimedia doesn’t want to go there yet.

[@Itsjorgelanzas]

I did talk about it at around minute 4. I honestly think all plugins work very similar in the audio world and have similar requirements no matter who’s building it, they’re still audio tools that need to work within certain standardized parameters used across all recording technology industry. I never change my input gain depending on the plugin. I don’t even change it when I plug my different guitars. And most things work just fine, just like in real life, if I don’t hear what I want, I can pop a pedal, a compressor or whatever, nothing is gonna sound like I want it, by just plugin in I’m making the tone, the tone is not making me. If you want to hear my 2 cents of this subject, I got this video about how to set your input gain to maximize your productivity and flexibility in AT5, if you want to check it out. STOP KILLING YOUR TONE | THE BEST INPUT GAIN kzbin.info/www/bejne/pprdfoSYhLacjJI

[@OrangeMicMusic]

@@ItsjorgelanzasYour explanation refers to how to make a plugin to sound how you want, my comment is about authenticity: "if I'm plugging in my guitar into my interface, and open JCM 800 from Amplitube with all knobs at noon, does this give the sound and feel of a real JCM 800?" The answer is, no. This doesn't happens with any other plugins on the market, if you follow their recommendations. Not all plugin developers are using reference levels of -18 dBFS = +4 dBu. For accuracy, if a company sells a product intended to sound "like the real thing", then the plugin should sound like the real amp. That's why all plugin developers (except IK Multimedia) updated their user manuals or info on their websites, to help customers achieving the best sound. (example from Neural DSP website " Our plugins are made with the following audio interface gain: Analog domain sine waveform 1 Vp = 0.707 VRMS = -0.79 dBu equals -13 dBFS in the digital domain.")

[@Itsjorgelanzas]

You’re right!, I wonder if Ik is ever gonna update that, or even keep working on Amplitube altogether, it seems to me like they’re just letting the brand slowly die. Reading your comment, makes me wonder, What ampsim gives you the most authentic sound and experience? I’m curious to know your thoughts! You really seem to have a lot of technical knowledge on the matter. I hope it translates in the quality of music and recordings you’re making! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@OrangeMicMusic]

​@@ItsjorgelanzasThere are many ampsims that gives you authentic feel and sound, including the ones in Amplitube. They just need to be set up properly. My "technical knowledge" comes from this frustration - when I realized that my beloved tube amps I own, don't sound like the plugins I was using to record. There are many people on KZbin putting together information about this. One of the most comprehensive video on this topic kzbin.info/www/bejne/oImui6SAqc9_ock
