Is POD "tact tone" actually being used by bands/ AE's today as a term?

I thought the definition pretty much explained it?

'2. a keen sense of what is appropriate, tasteful, or aesthetically pleasing; taste; discrimination. '

Isn't it just another way of saying 'a tone that works for the mix'?


+1 on the treadplate Mac..... so I can kick it more than once.
 
first, mmm, I believe that I did not offend to you...it is sad that you use those words...respect, you know?
and, one thing, 800 questions?hahah. sure?:rofl:. not many conversations with you...and...0 pod conversations...

i began that pod tact thread, yes.haha. it was an error because i´m not a native english man.hahahaha.
and, i´m not the man in that forum.haha. i prefer real amps completely. basically i can´t record real amps because i have not a good amp, head, mics...

i asked for presets...yes...haha. now i make my own presets.

Dude I was joking :lol: Lighten up, If I didn't want to help you out I wouldn't talk to you
 
Better ???

i rate this as one of the best things ever
like books n shit
 
The guy who started the whole "tact" thing (Eloy, I believe?) added me to msn after somehow getting my address, and asks me about 800 questions a second. I would delete him, but I sort of knew something like this would happen, and didn't want to cut all ties, just in case he ends up being an actual comedy genius and not just a bumbling moron with bad English :lol:


a bit harsh man. The guy is actually quite nice, even if he does ask a lot of questions.

Yeah, in that sense I get the idea of tact.

But these nooby kids have taken the noun 'tact' and turned it into a verb, adjective, whatever. I mean a "tacting" guitar tone?

C'mon...

It doesn't take much to actually sound like they are trying to learn or seem like they have a clue if they say "the band wants a processed guitar tone" or "this processed guitar tone really fits the mix."
 
First of all.
kids ask me everyday to make something like Sturgis does. I swear, the more I "tact" the tone, the more they like it.
however, Joey has an excellent sense of how to use PODs.

Second.
that AUTO-STURGIS song might as well be the next Rise band's tone.
kids would eat it up.
we might as well all quit now.


Third.

I honestly think you should make a website about this and put up pre-orders for it. you'd make bank. haha
 
I probably should, shit I would even be willing to give Andy 50%, and Joey & Eloy Royalties for the term "tact"....lol

I would have to give Catharsis some props on that too maybe put him in a fat bitch porn and actually pay him or something ....lol

We could do 3 different version actually:

The Joey Sturgis Crabcore Edition - Pod Farm Plat, with Joey "tact" Presets, Joey Samples, and a HD system you can throw out when you get bored. Comes with Absynth and some kick ass arpeggiator programs for all that techno-goodness. Oh lets not forget Melodyne or Auto-Tune as well.

The Sneaperizer - Pod Farm, Andy Samples, Andy Tutorial Video, Andy Superior Metal Pack, Waves Andy Sneap Edition (C4 and L2 Only).

The CLA Edition - Waves CLA, Baseball Cap, and a free nose job with every order.

I know man, I said...

We talk a lot, I was just playing around as I trust everyone else is? At least I hope. I only meant that that is how he is perceived (particularly in the thread where it all began) no need for anyone to get offended :)
 
I hope Andy doesn't see this and start seriously going down the natural route, this really is just satire. :lol:

These should definitely become products.
we should also release a Ozone Isotope Lite.
basically Ozone with absolutely no options except a check box you can check and uncheck titled:
[ ] tact louder
