How do I get good Distortion Tone? Any Tips?

I can't seem to get a good sounding distortion guitar tone using the logic express guitar amp pro or corresponding effects together with it. It always sounds thin or too muddy. So I did double track and make one brighter and one darker which made it sound better but not quite there. All the clean takes sound fine but the distortion sounds like ***. And yes I know how to play and have a gibson les paul. SO anybody have tips other then the obvious (eq, and compression) please lend me a hand.
Thanks so much!

No doubt loads of people are now going to recommend 3rd-party plug-ins, but I would advise saving your money until you've had a really good exploration of what the provided plug-ins can manage.
So keep changing those settings…
You said you didn't want the obvious advice, but actually that is the best advice (EQ, Compression).
There are other plug-ins besides Guitar Amp Pro that are worth experimenting with. And if the sound you're getting is "always either too thin or too muddy" then that means all you have to do is find a way of getting in between those two extremes… you must be getting close!
Alternatively, if your interface allows it, you could run out to a real cab & mic it up. It would be a bit of trouble, but it would be authentic & unique…

    If you are referring to the original system reinstall discs that shipped with every Mac before Lion came out you'll need to contact Apple with the serial # of your Mac and order a replacement set of them.
    Or look on one of the Auction websites or places like iFixit.com for a replacement set.
    If your Mac came new with any of the Download Only versions of OS X, Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks you don't need any discs to reinstall OS X. You use the Online Internet Recovery system or the built in Recovery HD partition inb the internal hard drive.
    For the built in Recovery HD hold down the Command + r keys at startup. For the Online system hold down the Command + Option/Alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen.

  • How can i get a specific tone for my vip email alert.  all tones are in my ringtones, but only some show up in the alerts for email.

    i cannot get my all my ringtones to transfer to my vip email alerts.  there is a specific tone I need for one vip email alert, but that one doesn't transfer, however it IS in my ringtones and textones.  how can I get that particular tone for my vip email?

    Only Apple Account Security could help at this point. You can try calling Apple Support in Canada - you'll have to find one of the several ways, such as Skype, to call an 800 number from outside of the relevant country - and ask for Account Security and see if they can help. Or you can find a friend who speaks Chinese and ask them to help you talk to Apple Support in China. There are really no other options that I know of.
    Note, by the way, that these are user-to-user support forums. You aren't speaking with Apple when you post here.

    You need to make sure that you are not in the silent profile.
    Also you can set your volumes in the Menu > Settings > Profiles.
    You can find help with profiles in the user guide:

    If you have set your volumes and it's still silent then it may be faulty. You should get it checked out at a care point/service centre.

  • How can i get repeating message tones

    How can I get repeating message tones when i recieve a sms?

    You can't (officially).
    You can only create your own ringtones.
    If your phone is jailbroken, you can search Cydia etc for apps that allow you to do so.

  • Had to reinstall itunes onto my pc, but now can't get onto itunes store any tips

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page). Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT1541 How Can I get my Ring tones I bought back. I bought 2 on 05/20/13 and 3 0n 11/11/13. If I can not get you to reboot them to me I am going to quit buying any from I tunes.

    My receipt number is 177053071749 from 05/20/13 bought 2 ring tones . On 11/11/13 my receipt number for 3 ring tones is139063710793.

My phone number is 360-815-7131 and my e-mail is [email protected]

    You should not leave this info here on this public forum.
    We are all itunes users just like you.  You are not addressing Apple here.  I doubt anyone here cares who you buy from.
    As always, it is your responsibility to back up your content.  If you failed to do this, then they are gone.
    You can try asking itunes support for an exception.

  • How do I get back my tones and ringtones that I had on my 4 to my 4S?

    I recently had to upgrade my 4 to a 4S. Then that one messed up so I had to restore it to factory settings. I did all the backups, but now I can't get any of my ringtones or tones to download back to my phone.
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    Thanks!!

    Backing up the phone and syncing the phone are two different things. How did you get the ringtones to the phone to start with? Were they ever in iTunes on the computer to start with?

  • How we can get SSL certificate for any site?

    i want to know how can get SSL certificate for any website and what is the main benefit for particular website with the help of this certificate.

    Hi,
    Would you please let me know edition information of the SBS server? Was it SBS 2008 or SBS 2011?
    Based on your description, I’m a little confused with your question. Did you mean that want to know why need
    SSL certificate for website?
    Certificate Services and SSL protect sensitive information by encrypting the data sent between client browsers
    and your server.
    An SSL Certificate is used for two reasons (1) to validate the remote server to the client before the client sends any data to that server (2) to encrypt the data between the client and server over an un-secure network (ie. the Internet). You can use
    a self-issued certificate or a third-party trusted certificate. For more details, please refer to following articles and check if can help you.

  • Printing photos from iPhoto 9.5.1 on my printer yeilds garish two color prints. Exporting the photo from iPhoto to desktop then printing from Preview works fine. How can I get good prints from iPhoto?

    When printing photos in iPhoto 9.5.1 with my HP inkjet printer the multitude of colors in the photos are reduced to two, Magenta and Yellow. If the photos are exported to my desktop (MacPro) and printed from Preview, the colors in the prints are fine. How do I get iPhoto to print the colors correctly?

    Brad
    What settings did you use in the Export Dialogue?
    When you go File -> Export you get a tabbed box with various options. In the File Export tab you can choose to scale the pics, or keep them the same size, change or retain the format.

  • How do I get good audio feed from DVD player to my MBP using an optic cable

    I have successfully recorded audio off of concert DVD's using Sound Studio 3 by connecting my DVD player to my MBP using left/right outputs to a 35mm input. I purchased an optical cable, connected it to my DVD player and used a 35mm adapter to connnect it to my MBP input. All I get is a weird popping interferance type sound instead of clear audio. Any tips on what is going on? I have correct settings in system preferences (recognizes an optical connection) but all I hear is noise?
    Thanks for any help!
