Tailoring tones

[MoonQuake]

Hi Justin,

I was wondering about how you work your tones for specific gigs.

Do you tailor them alone in your studio and find they automaticaly translate well in rehearsal/live setting as you tweeked them or do you go from the ground up right in rehearsal based on the live tones of the guitar/keyz player ? And then do you tweek a bit still when on stage ?

Thanks !

Hi,
No I find that, most commonly, they DON'T translate to live unless they are very simple. It's sometimes frustrating. All the sudden the kick drum sound is different (for example), and I have to build a whole new approach. But this is common for everybody I'm sure. It's just so circumstantial that I have to be adaptable and not hold the recorded tones too dear, if that makes sense.
