Played some more Tonex tonite thru studio monitors using the capture using the cab. Sounds and feels surprisingly close. Think I will try the ‘67 Marshall and see how that does.

You can just save the tone model in a preset, export it, and then send or attach it in a post.

Hmm...Yeah I don't know how to do it. I can make the captures and use them. Get them in the pedal but that's about what I can figure out so far.

Made a capture using my amp and cabinet. Cabinet is dual mic’d on one speaker. Used a 57 and VR1. Made the capture using the CAPTURE box with mics plugged into my Apogee interface. Tried to run Tonex in Logic again with no luck. Tried Amplitube and it would open but could not figure out how to import the capture from Tonex to it. Eneded up loading the capture into the Tonex One and plugged it into the interface. Seems dumb to have to do that, or I cannot figure it out.
Anyway did a test recording ising the capture and then playing thru the rig into Logic. Same exact settings and no added eqing. One is panned left and other is right. I did have to balance the levels a bit between left and right and also the mic mix.

That sounded damn good, and quite accurate sounding!

Thanks. I really hate this software! I cannot figure this out. Create a capture, save it in Tonex. Can play thru it, move it ti the pedaletc. Tonex doesn't open as a plugin in Logic (does not pass Audio Unit validation). Open Amplitube on its own and my capture is there, can play thru it. Open Amplitude as a plug in in Logic, it opens and works, but my capture is not in it...ugh.
Only option I can figure is to move it to the pedal, then plug it into the interface and play thru that to record with my capture...don't see how to export anything either. I am not normally this bad at software stuff, but this is not making any sense to me.
 
I finally got an email from IK MM support. I was extremely detailed on what was going on with my Axe I/O One not booting up and then connecting to my ToneX SE so that I have access to lower the buffer speed. I explained that the interface was connecting somehow to ToneX SE and not through the AXE I/O One controller program. I expected a reply like please re-download the software and drivers and then do this and then do this 1, 2, 3.

After waiting two weeks here is my response: They want me to make a video of what it is doing, they can't seem to troubleshoot it from my description of what it is doing...........................:confused::confused::confused::LOL::LOL::jerkit::jerkit:

Thanks for your patience while we got back to you.

There is nothign you need to do as long as the correct asio driver is installed, can you show me what is happening?

On screen recording:
OSX > Load the Quicktime app in the Applications folder and use the screen record option.
PC: Use the Snipping tool to do a video recording. If you do not have this option you can use this app below.
Download the Licecap application below and do a GIF movie of what the issue and attach it so we see it please.

We hope this response has sufficiently answered your questions. If you still have any question, interests, or concerns, please reply to this email and an agent will get back to you as soon as possible. Please make sure to reply to this email and do not open another support ticket.

You just use the button I circled in red.

EDIT: do this first!: try uninstalling the interface via IK progam manager or windows. Then use the device manager check below and if it still shows up after a restart use the right click > uninstall method from there before doing a re-install. otherwise skip the device manager stuff.

Also, ik may have a sequence for when you install vs plug in the interface. After you uninstall be sure to unplug the interface and then follow their procedure.

--------------------
Hit the start button and type in device manager to open it. Open sound and usb devices then take a screenshot using the snipping tool and post it up. You'll likely want to right click it and uninstall then restart your computer and install again. Its a good idea to click the down arrows to see if its under another subcategory. If it has an '!' the driver likely has a problem.

After you install it, restart again then go to system > sound mixer and make sure that the input and output device are both your interface. After that you want to verify you can open your interface's application and change settings. If you don't have it set as your input / output device and try to change sound settings through windows it often won't let you open the application.

Thanks. I tried that earlier and got something exported to my desktop. What do I do with it? I tried attaching it here but that didnt work.

Best bet would be to right click it and zip it then post it on a file sharing site like a public google drive or dropbox. Idk the rules here if it will work as an attachment but probably not.

That is probably preset_name.txp, which is a ToneX Preset file. If someone drags that into their preset list it will add that preset to their preset list.

It is probably RigTalk that is not letting you attach it. You probably need to put it in a Zip File to make RigTalk let you attach it to a post.

Im on a mac so not sure about right clicking and zipping it. They probably have something similar maybe.

Thanks, Yes that looks like it. I tried importing it into amplitube and no dice. Sucks having to load the capture in the pedal and then playing thru it to record. Would be great to be able to use it as a plug in. I emailed IK today, see if they have any info.
 
I've got the Tonex software and it doesn't sound all that great but there is an input level issue that is known. Does the hardware pedal eliminate this factor?

You don't have to import into Amplitube. Any Tone Models that are in your ToneX library are automatically in your library in ToneX within Amplitube.

HOWEVER, one really dumb thing that I hate about the system, is you cannot use a ToneX preset inside of ToneX inside of Amplitube. Your base tone model will be there, but the actual preset with your EQ and effects tweaks cannot be used there. You just need to recreate the preset with the base tone model, or just use the effects inside of Amplitube instead. You dont need the pedal for anything unless you want to take the sound with you outside of the computer.

I would say find your Tone Model within ToneX within Amplitube. Add your other effects to the chain in Amplitube, and then save the Amplitube preset. Then you will have your Tone Model with the Amplitube effects you chose that you can use on a track in your DAW.

There is not really an input level issue, the issue is that many people are dumb and dont understand how to set the volumes on their gear.

Turn up your interface until just under red clipping, and then turn the input level of the ToneX software up until just under red. That is the same process for ANY interface and digital plugin. That is the proper level to have your guitar at. If someone made a Tone Model at a wonky capture level then move on to another creator because they didn't know what they were doing.

If you have the pedal, then set the input level in the pedal the same as the input level in the software to have the pedal sound the same as the software.
