I may be wrong but the consistent tone in many of Calum Graham's recent solo releases could be due to the use of a ToneWood Amp setting. He attributes the tone of his guitar in the video below to a "plate setting" on an attached ToneWood Amp (about 1.17 in). I don't have one but it would be interesting to see how much closer someone who does have a ToneWood Amp and a willingness to experiment with it could get to his sound.
Just a thought. |

First I agree with rick one big difference is the guitar placement in the front to back sound field with his being more forward. So besides compression, it could be (could be) in the mix technique with the pad ( and I also think his is a using a synth pad) being spread full hard L and R and if the guitar is stereo it may be more inboard of hard L and R maybe 45% or less L and R . I also think I am hearing a shimmer on his recording and I think it has more high end frequencies in play And there may (may) be some delay as well as verb, on his guitar. Just some speculative thoughts

The tonewood is interesting, but I doubt it's used on the recordings Antoine's producing. Having tried one briefly, I'd just say that it's no match for a studio reverb. A fun toy, for sure, and I hear a few videos where it seems to sound nice. My guess is that the sound Calum is getting is part him, part Antoine Dufour's production, which is the part I was most interested in here.

Perhaps the shimmer is on the guitar (had not thought of that) but also some shimmer (pedals anyway, so I assume plugins also) can adjust to focus on higher or lower frequencies

I thought a bunch of us were going to try this experiment. I realized that wasn't the case so I pulled my posts off, sorry OP.

Why pull them ? I would be interested in what you can come up with and details of how ? I can't speak for anyone else but personally the reason I have not posted anything is I simply could not replicate that kind of fingerstyle instrumental note for note or even close.

Assuming you are doing your mixing in the box . . .
Check out a free plugin called Nova-67p. It's a multiband compressor. Very useful in sculpting the compression and EQ curve on the guitar. Any multiband will work. |

I downloaded it late last night. I'm going to play around with it this weekend, thanks.

Here is my try :-)
http://www.polyphon-recording.de/grace_dz.mp3 Most of the sound comes from Calums playing, so copying the sound of the recording is pretty hard not beeing him. Then comes his guitar. IŽd really like to hear the raw tracks of Callums recording. In opder to hear how much of the sound is due to mixing. Dirk |
