This is interesting: TH-U RockGuy is both a TH-U expansion pack and a Standalone plugin, meaning that it can expand the model list of an existing TH-U installation, or it can also be purchased as self-contained pack which includes all the TH-U editing features, including the Rig Player, the Amp Tweaks, the Tuner and the Looper, with no need to have a pre-existing TH-U license.

https://valhalladsp.com/2021/11/23/valhallavintageverb-updated-to-2-2-0-cathedral-mode/ The Cathedral algorithm is an updated and expanded version of a reverb I originally developed in 2014 for the Spin Semiconductor FV-1. The VintageVerb version can use a lot more delay memory than the FV-1 version (with higher Size settings), that results in a very clear and open reverb decay. We’ve also expanded the filtering of the Cathedral algorithm, for a more realistic decay, while retaining the balanced ensemble modulation of the FV-1 original. The 2.2.0 update is available to anyone that owns VintageVerb - just go to the My Account page and grab the latest installers. Don’t own VintageVerb yet? Check out the demo version on our Demos and Downloads page! We hope you enjoy the VintageVerb update, and thanks for your support!

"IK Krazy Deals Phase 2" How many phases can we look forward to?

Clever people? Yes. Me? No I've made a terrible mistake and went just to 149$ tier instead of $199. My qualifying item was AT5 SE and it should have been AT5 at least. So now I have to sit and wait for some upgrade IK deal.

Wait ... Can I use more than one voucher for one purchase/license transfer?

I have tested the cheapest MSI GT 710 PCI-e card and ... hooray ... all crackles are gone even with fullscreen AT5 edit window! What a pleasure to play and enjoying to see rotating leslie cab

I have found 2 interesting topics yesterday and now I'm pretty sure the Intel HD4600 is a weak point: https://gearspace.com/board/music-computers/870368-audio-crackling-new-haswell-i7-build.html https://www.forum.rme-audio.de/viewtopic.php?id=20296 So I'm going to try/buy cheap passive Nvidia GT 710 (TDP 19W only) for my Dell 9020 SFF and we will see ...

Interesting. Are you able to do tracking (e.g. at 48kHz/64 samples) without any drops or crackles? I'm quite disappointed that my i7 4790K/4.0GHz CPU is not able to handle anything above 10% without issues. And for IK products it is not a problem to exceed this value with just few instances of AT5 or ST4. EDIT: I didn't find an initial reason yet but it is definitely not my CPU fault. My testing project with 3 AT5, 2 ST4, Jamstix and Modo Bass tracks works flawlessly even at 30% CPU with this mandatory condition - none of VST editor (AT5, ST4, Jamstix) may be opened. So I suppose something is wrong between Reaper, my embedded graphics Intel HD 4600 and Win 10. Anyway, I'm glad my CPU is capable enough to drive several AT5 & ST4 tracks together.

True and I have found another and quite weird dependency in Reaper. The CPU usage per track is higher in case you have the same preset duplicated to more tracks. Screenshot is from 5.20. I have got the same behavior in 5.0.3 and 5.1.1 version. EDIT: It is definitely some bug in the Reaper because I can achieve the same results with other VST combinations. Some general and one track measurements across mentioned versions: AT 5.0.3 1st start to GUI - 17s 2nd start to GUI - 3s AT5 Perfomance Leslie - 3.7 to 4.1% AT5 Perfomance Leslie X-Gear - xxx AT 5.1.1 1st start to GUI - 22s 2nd start to GUI - 3s AT5 Perfomance Leslie - 3.8 to 4.0% AT5 Perfomance Leslie X-Gear - 4.8 to 5.2% AT 5.2 1st start to GUI - 18s 2nd start to GUI - 3s AT5 Perfomance Leslie - 3.8 to 4.1% AT5 Perfomance Leslie X-Gear - 4.5 to 4.8% My PC: Win10, Intel i7-4790K passmark 8056,16 GB RAM, SSD WD Blue AT5 Perfomance - Leslie .at5p AT5 Perfomance - Leslie XGear.at5p

Could I ask you for the most CPU hungry AT5 items (or presets)? I would like to do some performance tests on my machine. Thanks.

True. And message for all other newbies: Think twice and prefer quality before quantity. I did $150 + $50 purchases and it would be better to did just one at $200 level. Maybe next time

I'm a little bit confused: How to qualify for the promotion. Purchase any of the qualifying products from the IK Online Store, Custom Shop or IK authorized resellers. So I have bought 150 Gear credits at first and I want to purchase Electromagnetik as my qualifying product. But how to do that? There is no option for paying with GC in IK online store and Electromagnetik is not available in Custom shop app .. Am I miss something?

Is there any (maybe official?) list where is stated what GB freebie I can get? I know new Tascam collection is not included in GB and guess it is not about just this item.

I would like to use it for tweaking/reamping.

Do you know if it is possible to move looper to the beginning of the chain? I haven't found any answer, just the same question: https://cgi.ikmultimedia.com/ikforum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=26293

Unfortunately I have found a huge dealbreaker for me - undo/redo commands are not implemented in AT5! I'm unsurprisingly not only one who miss this feature: https://cgi.ikmultimedia.com/ikforum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=26237&start=75#p112674 @Peter - IK Multimedia , do you have any explanation why it is not supported? Or Does IK have any future plans about this feature?

Amplitube SE + Collections primarily. But I'm still not convinced I need more amps then I have now. Pure GAS nightmare. 🙂

Could I ask you for help? I have zero experience with buying anything from IK online. Now I'm thinking about joining to the GB sale at $149 level. I have 43 jampoints. What is the best (the lowest costs) approach for me? I know there are virtual Gear Credits but have no idea if I can use jam points for decreasing of final price (paid in GC). Or combine e.g. 100 GC + 43 jampoint + $6 by Paypal/Credit card ... Thank you for you advice.

Got it, thank you!

Damn, tell me about it. 10 minutes of noodling and $15 are somehow gone 😉

So my 2 cents: - installer is included but there is also simple *.vst3 file in the package - CPU consumption on my machine is average 0.4% (NadIR 0.2%) - I have to increase output gain to 8dB to achieve similar volume level as from NadIR - Undo (Ctrl+Z) - set value to default by double mouse click - 3band parametric EQ - this is really useful for my needs. - no "before/after" comparison feature - no "Save modified IR" feature - no folder listing (jump to previous or next IR) Overall it is really not bad for 1.0 version. I will definitely keep it.

Nice. I think the most interesting part is at the end (11:40) Comment from TGP forum thread: I have 2 Ecstasy heads from the 90s that I toured extensively with. Mercuriall is much, much closer to my real Bogners. I set up the software amps exactly as I ran the blue channel for live gigs and compared. Mercuriall Euphoria really feels and sounds almost identical in tone with controls set the same. The Nembrini has way more gain than any Ecstasy blue channel, and is more scooped with fizzier highs and a woolier bass. Nembrini can be adjusted to sound good as well, but if we are comparing software to hardware, Mercuriall nails it down in a 1:1 test using the exact same knob and switch settings as the real amp. Nembrini at those same settings sounds more like a Mesa than a Bogner.

I like his channel. Excellent play and non-metal content.
