So is this something that would make Gig Performer 4 integrate (or simply work) within a DAW?

Look at all those lovely knobs and buttons!

Any Izotope Elements. Softube Time and Tone bundle; even though not “free” as it required a hardware purchase, it was added for free. Then I opened my wallet to them.

Anyone have this or American Class A? Interested to hear opinions while they're both on sale...

At 11:47 I was yelling at my monitor "Zo, hit the damn button!!!! I think this was just on sale. Kicking meself. Another superb video, Zo!!!!!

That was my next question. I've already tried using my remaining Jam Points at the Beer Cave but they gave me a funny look.

I got a $25 AND $50 monthly voucher last night—can I stack them?

Happened to me as well. EZ Bass was down to about $100 bucks but then corrected to $130, which sounds more accurate, unfortunately. Anyone know where I can find it cheaper?

This is no-brainer territory!!!!

My family is from Boucherville...we loved winter in Montreal!!!!!!

35 degrees F in Detroit with snow on the way...

Happy Birthday, Larry! We share a birthday and a city border! All the best.

...through a Gong Amp.

Wow...Celestion Speakermixer is a CPU hog!!!! Here's some pros/cons: Softube SpeakerShaper (by Celestion) PROS: Super intuitive design - if you can relate to cabs and speakers, this is easy to get your head around Sound shaping - lots of great options from hardware COMPONENT emulation including Speaker Diameter and magnet choice (unique to this plugin) Selection quality (sounds great and the speaker graphics look identical to Celestion SpeakerMixer) Self-contained speaker ecosystem - no need to spend additional $$$ on speakers or features. Axis, Arc, and Distance for microphones CONS High CPU usage (but a PRO if you consider how high the CPU usage of the Celestion plugin is) Higher CPU if used within AmpRoom (don't understand this at all but it's a must-have, or at least a another 3rd party IR loader if you're using Amproom). Room mics are less flexible than SpeakerMixer but also account for most CPU usage. Fewer channel-specific options vs. SpeakerMixer Generic speaker enclosures Celestion SpeakerMixer PROS: Lots of channels to mix and match cabs/speakers/microphones Auto Gain - excellent leveling tool to keep levels consistent Parametric EQ is handy. But is it overkill for each channel??? Z-Curve impedance setting Broader variety of speakers and branded speaker enclosures CONS: Fewer hardware component emulations than Softube Microphone placement/alignment is limited Twice the processing power needed vs. SpeakerShaper Tweaker paralysis - lots of options but many require extra navigation to keep track (is that Greenback on a 2x12 with an SM57 or something else?) Pay-to-play: greyed out options highlight what you don't have. full product requires additional investment Room mics are CPU intensive. Twice as many clicks needed to change basic components vs. SpeakerShaper Summary - I'm glad to have had a chance to demo Speakermixer, especially after having plonked down the $90 on Speakershaper. I bought that to upgrade the cab emulations in Amproom but find I use it even more with other amp sims. Speakershaper is - IMHO - a more advanced product than Speakermixer but also simpler at the same time. For noobs like me that are easily led down the feature rabbit hole, I especially appreciate that. As for MCabinet, it has different features for tone shaping that are more "under the hood" but you can get results quickly...with next to NO CPU hit. I use SpeakerShaper as a separate plugin in Amproom which draws less CPU and provides more options but I'm really liking how lean MCabinet is. On the other hand, I find the UI of SpeakerShaper to be much more transparent and relatable. My biggest gripe with SpeakerMixer or SpeakerShaper is that they don't let you import your own IRs into their cab simulation components like Helix, THU, Amplitube, etc. It would be amazing to have all speaker/cabinet/IR shaping in one ecosystem.

One thing about SpeakerShaper - as amazing as it is - it is heavy on the CPU. Add that to a Neural preset and your going beyond Amproom CPU levels. Based on all of the features and room mic options in the Celestion Speakermix plugin, I can only imagine it's the same if not more. Gonna demo to see if that's true.

But this is all based on the premise that they'll update the plugins, correct? It sounds like it might be worth it if you're invested in Waves more than I am.

Even if a plugin is out of date it will still work, right? I have OmniChannel V9 or 10, can't remember. If it won't work, I would probably shell out the $15 for a current version to make sure it does. That sounds totally stoopid, but we're talking Waves here, right?

The Fender amps in AmpRoom are two of my faves in the whole lot, and I'm only missing the Bluesbreaker. They are what initially turned me on to AmpRoom, actually, as it was a sound I was after at the time. I really like the Fender Collections in A5, but the dynamics feel much truer in Amproom. There's even an adjustable dynamic control, too. The Amproom Fenders (and the Vox emulation) get overshadowed by the Marshall heads. As far as the stomps go, there are fewer but excellent on their own. There's a ton of pedals in A5, but I'd never get a chance to use all of them. The ones in AmpRoom are bread-and-butter stomps, and they perform those jobs really well.

Sounds amazing. CPU hit in Studio One Pro 4.5: 30-35. Risk of buying: none.

Its not even released but he's bought it and downloaded it!

I thought the same thing and have been hammering at the JRR site looking for them!!!!! Doh

But did you download and install????? C’mon, man!!!

Got it with 36 copies left!!!!

Its an AI mastering tool...how does this compare to Ozone 9 Advanced?

I have 73 reverbs but none of these. Instabuy. 😉
