This is the way for owners of this thing to have a backup if download link expired at IK and not done before

if they priced it at $399 and gave you 90% off it would have been a even better deal!! ?

Good comparison between FabFiler (which he always uses) and SSL x-EQ 2

It simply feels good to buy a $249 SSL EQ for $39. - So noone should ask, if there is an use for this toy... ?

man, i got EQ's coming out my ***** and ears. how many EQ's does it take to mix a crappy song? ?

At least they're giving us updates and fixing things. I'm sure they're not enjoying this either. ?

Got it my hot little hands. Looks like bedtime may have to be pushed back tonight.

Shhhh...! We don't want the IK's download reactivation credit's price to go up. ???

When people talk about their favorite guitars, they always say OTS and AmpleSound, which are definitely great. But there are things that Tracy's guitars do that they can't. And I think that some people may think they can't be as good because they're so inexpensive. I think all of Tracy's instruments sound so great and are so playable. I love his harmony feature, that I've never seen on any other instrument. It's particularly amazing on this because he does all these interesting things to make it sound like a double-stop drone. When you go higher up, you get a higher note as the drone. The problem for most people is that there are no sales. Because I don't feel the panic of a quick sale, I have to force myself to say, "I'm buying one of these today." I try to buy one a year. I bought most of his guitars and Blue Street Brass. I got to know him when I did a video of Solid State Symphony, which I had owned for years. That's why he asked me to demo The Fiddle. He's updated it since the one I played before. I tend to just turn the harmonies on all the time. That's why my little tune is pretty flat next to his demos which so beautifully show all the different articulations. The STEEL sounds better than the Fiddle on my track because you can just leave the harmony on and it sounds great. I use a snapshot called "Cryin'" I highly recommend this. I've missed out on some of his intro sales by not taking advantage of them soon enough. I don't know about a bass. I love the auto-harmonies, so maybe some instrument that could show that off. A 12-string? But the way his instruments do articulations would admittedly be great with a bass.

True to my word, a very generious benefactor supplied a $25 voucher and I bought it without any demo whatsoever. I fired it up after the purchase and knew within 2 minutes it was money well spent. The clean channel doesn't stay clean for long but has a good range of chime and grit on tap in the low/mid gain range. Channel 2 provides excellent Plexi tone, I like the clarity and voicing better than say the BE100. The feedback (turned up) is nice for giving a more amp like no hold barred tone. But can be turned down to mellow things out. Crunch, Boost, and Bring add a fair deal of versitility when coubled with the other controls. I appreciate the Depth to allow various levels of "3Dness" when dealing with static IRs. The key to all of it is realism in both tone and response to playing. I'm placing it as standing among some of the better PA Amp sims and a fair amount of versatility too considering you don't expect that out of a "marshall" style amp. (though the clean channel is suposed to be in more the american vein though I'd say you woudl have to turn the input gain quite low to get the clean level of headroom I associate with "clean american" amps) . Primary critique would likley be the noise floor is a little on the high side. Of course you get this in a real recording scenario, but always makes me wonder if it isn't possible to get rid of more of it in the digital realm with these simulations.

TC does it again. $59 intro. Requires full Kontakt https://www.indiginus.com/the-fiddle Amazing is right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcoFqMvOub4

It could be...... if Hofenbacker was a blind guy who made bass guitars.

LOL! ? It's definitely made for a very specific purpose. You really shouldn't run it through a guitar amp unless it's something like the Mustang modelling amp where you can turn off all the amp modelling and run it as if it were a PA. All of the room, mic, and amplification emulation has already been done. It's really made for DI recording or playing live through a PA. I was hoping to have to avoid screwing with mic and room placement when recording my acoustic. I don't have a decent room and always used the output from it to go DI and it sounds exactly like Willie Nelson's signature sound. I swear they designed this guitar to sound exactly like his. It's great for Willie, not so much for me. ? Awesome! Pics, tracks! Hurry! ?

After downloading it yesterday I got an email from Tracy saying "Please download your Fiddle again. We put in a fix of the shorts." Not sure what "shorts" means, but must refer to the staccato problem mentioned above. I'm not hearing any pops here. -Bjorn

I pulled the trigger. No more LMC+ syndrome for me.

Yes, you can delete these using the trash can (upper right-next to the gear icon) in Aquarius / PURGE. ( or by hand) I always suggest that if it's a new release to keep them in your stage area for a few weeks . This way you won't have to download all the files over again. If there's any updates you'll only need to download those, which are usually smaller in comparison. I also keep my stage area on an internal storage drive, not my main drive.

Reactivation credits don't apply to Amplitube, or many other IK software products. You can always download them as often, and for as long as you wish! But any downloads under the "Sounds" tab in Product Manager are subject to expiration. So IK reactivation credits only apply to them.

This might work well on Jean Luc Ponty / fusion type material...hmmm

Let’s face it. Recreating reality in a virtual world is far from perfect as the tech evolves. Updates and improvements are necessary fir the foreseeable future. I for one am thankful the company puts in the time and effort to continue! Imagine if your hamburger is not perfect. Do you expect replacements continually? Would be nice, eh? Now I’m hungry! ...while it’s downloading.

The original UVI World Library was not supposed to be very good. I believe it was ported from MOTU. When they made it into World Suite they added a ton of new instruments. I think all of them were from Precision Sound. If you look at Precision Sound, you'll see that the stuff added is the same. There are some super gems in there. I love the accordions. If you were to buy them at the Precision Sound half price sale, it would cost you a lot. Of course, the PS instruments are Kontakt. The same thing happened with World Suite 2. They added a lot more new instruments. I'm not sure from where. Maybe their own? If you look at EthnoWorld it's very similar. The stuff from EthnoWorld 1 is not as good as the stuff from the newer versions. There is a variability in quality with libraries as huge as these. I'm pretty familiar with both and I think EthnoWorld 6 is MUCH better, both in quality of sound and features. I don't know what the price is for you to upgrade, but if anybody is deciding between one and the other, EthnoWorld 6 (instruments only) will be cheaper on Black Friday. It lists at $259 and with 40% off it's about $155. The only issue I can thing of with EthnoWorld is that 6 came out 4 years ago and I wouldn't be too surprised if version 7 would turn up before too long. Currently, upgrading for 4 or 5 to 6 is $159, which is more than 6 costs new during the sale. Every now and then they have sales on upgrades. I like having both. Each has instruments the other one doesn't have. Also World Suite was my first one, and it started my exploration of world music.

Renaxxance is far and away my most-used Indiginus library. But if you've already got NI's Picked Nylon that would be a somewhat redundant. But hey, if you're not a guitar player you really can't have too many guitar libs, can you? Or strings. Or pianos. Or percussion. Or...sheesh, it's never-ending. I already need to buy another disk drive, both of my 1TB sample drives are nearly full.

Sign in when asked, start clicking around and hope for the best! Same here. The others are in iLok. I'm still wondering if I really need yet another parametric EQ...

Jazz bass and fiddle, ewwww!!!

Nice tune, Reid. Very nice indeed. I love The STEEL, it's one of my favorites. abacab, if you like that one, check out Delta Blues. It's a tossup as to which one I like better. The latter is especially nice through an amp sim. I've tried to talk Tracy into doing a fretless bass, or any bass with slides. He was resistant, saying the market is already saturated with basses. But imagine a nice-sounding bass that could do glissandos like these can...mmm.

I have been wanting to try my hand at "Americana" style for a while. Now gosh-dangit, I may have to try this fiddle, even if I embarrass myself with poor fiddle playing technique. ? I couldn't help noticing in the demo that @Reid Rosefeltposted, how great the steel also sounded. Conundrum: now I want The Fiddle, The Steel, and The Resonator. ?

I was going to ask didn't we just get an update??!!

The only CPU heavy-ish of the lot is the SSL reverb; the others just nibble at the edge of your CPU, barely making a dent. be sure to download the 360 software if you want to run SSL channel strip across your tracks and view all of them like an SSL board!

I beta-tested this. I got distracted and wrote this little melody. It's just The Fiddle, Indiginus's The STEEL, Picked Acoustic, and Trilian. The Fiddle - Three Things.mp3

Anyone who thinks they couldn't possibly need a bluegrass fiddle, watch this. It's not my genre, but gosh-dangit, I think I could do something with this.

Updating this list often and many more to come! I am now officially a “BandLab partner” as well. I give my thanks and respect to Meng and his crew for the reaching out and recognizing my efforts over the years. Thank you all as well! Looking forward to helping as many people as I can!

Issue was that coupon must be applied before clicking checkout. The coupon field after clicking checkout will not allow the coupon to work.

FWIW: I have a friend that stream games too and his life is not as complicated as yours in 4K. Streaming live games and broadcasting them is literally how he makes a living with a setup of just two small interfaces on twitch and youtube all at the same time.

might get it for the phase check alone , so underestimated by young cats

But be merry if you do. Sweet freebie

END OF SUMMER SALE - UNTIL 20TH SEPTEMBER Edit: sorry, didn't scroll down enough to see someone already answered.

I just registered anew I think. I've got LMC in my account but not the channel strip. I just think of ILok as the license holder rather than the SSL shop account.

20th of September I think it said on the SSL site. Their timezone I'm guessing.

Quiz him on his PhD thesis to find out! ?

Well that's a good report from the latency monitor so seems your PC is not the issue. To make sure run it while your working in Cakewalk for a few hours. Most times it just internet stuff causes issues. At this point it looks like you need to run the correct audio driver. An Audio interface with a good ASIO driver will ultimately be the best solution, But for now you should be able to use on board audio with WASAPI mode. But as I said just make sure none of those other drivers are conflicting. Make sure your computers sound card is the only device showing in all the audio preferences and especially in the Sync and Cashing - Device box.

I am aware perception of sound is often related to personal taste although there are some details which imho saying much about quality like lack of unwanted harshness, clarity, thoughtful gui (PA for instance has probably the worst option ever for changing IRs, btw), possibility to change in such way to get good tone or if it is really similar to original tone (for cases where something is claiming it is digital version of another thing). But the latest is not so important for me as long as I like result. I have a few personal favorites. For instance NeuralDSP Soldano SLO100 and Archetype Cory Wang, They have all things mentioned. Vox-like sim I like the most from from NI Guitar Rig6. I like Amplitube Fenders (although mostly using A4, A5 has still some issues, loading very long and seems to be more crashy than others). Btw standalone Amplitubes have the best looper comparing to any standalone sim I ever tested. While maybe there are few things I would gladly see improved still ways ahead any competitions as helper in practice or ideas recorder. On the other side is THU looper, the worst thing ever made which should make Overloud embarrassed whole life... But wait/// there is even something more embarrassing there like artificially splitting amp channels just to let their marketing lye to people how many amps they are having in their collection... So annoying and decreasing workflow... Is even 1 person on the world who is believing in primitive lie? But to be fair, in addition to these and a few workflow nonsense they are very good sound-wise., including infamous RIG Player And also STL Tones with their ToneHub (the same idea like THU Rig player) or Amphub. There are some underestimated like Mercuriall SS-11X, ML5 from ML Sound Lab or pretty ancient Revolver 4 with many nice choices. But always it is the best to test any amp sim by yourself as there are factors which are different for different people like guitar itself, signal level, guitar technique, music type preference (for instance while I love lots of metal things I hate very scooped sound of guitars) or plugin settings... But the latest one is imho part of quality of plugin, If you can get good tone in no time it is good, right? But if you need to waste many minutes to tweak, change IR, or whatever it is not good thing. I can remember I have appreciated TH3 pretty late (having it free in Sonar) as most (all?) presets were so terrible I didn't believe it could sound good... But at that time I also din't realize how much different signal from guitar influence the tone. For instance if gainy preset was made using active pickups and 7 string guitar there would be a chance for it to sound terrible on single coins etc

Sounds right to me, if the going rate holds up. On the downside, things do tend to slow down a bit overnight. On the upside, every time in September the count needed for the next level hits around 250, there's been a bump up to 20/hour or more -- except for the 14k level, which rolled over on a Sunday. Both weekends and hitting a level tend to slow things down, based on the handful of examples of each, so maybe the best-case scenario would be if a boost rolls the count to 16k in the afternoon tomorrow, and maybe there's a little juice left to squeeze toward 17k before the weekend rolls around. That's a big ask without another signup-alanche, though.

Tracy's demos are amazing as usual.

$119 when I followed the link... t

Will makes a good point, it can be done. However, you are having other issues as well. RME is famous for its drivers. Their mic pres are also highly regarded for their transparency. I don't think you can go wrong with RME; the downside, you get what you pay for and top value = top price. I have the original Babyface in my office and the UFX+ in the studio (ran the original UFX for 9 years). I've never tried to use both at the same time, but they use the same USB driver, so I suspect that I could. You mentioned that you enjoy the "knobs" on the Behringer. Its all "virtual" with RME. TotalMix takes a bit of use to wrap your head around, like any "desk" does, but once you do, its great and beyond "versatile". I suspect it will do everything you need and more.... t

@RexRed You literally just need two affortable interfaces connected to one pc for live stream. Any of the popular affortable entry level Focusrite 2i2, Presonus 96 or the M-Audio Air will do | or | any of your choice. This will record both Audio of your mic or game simultaneously to OBS or which ever streaming capture platform you use. Your setup should then look like: Mic into Cakewalk recording with one interface and the Streaming capture sound into OBS using the other. This will give you mere zero latency and should not be an issue ever for this - even within the most demanding setup. All you need to do is get an interface just for your mic and use your Behringer to capture your game's live stream. However: Your systems quick response and performance within the game graphics is a different department on its own. You will need to look at upgrading your CPU, Graphics Card, add Memory, Hard drive speed and dust your fans off every 3 months of so. Hope you get your setup sorted out soon and get your streaming on with close to zero latency. ☺
