Grem

Picked this up. Haven't got the serial number yet.

Know exactly where that is. Have friends that live there. We went to a restaurant the other day and they asked if we wanted crawfish. We were like, where did you get them? And how big are they? Much too early in the season for crawfish. Forgot to add wife is making a pot of chicken and andouille gumbo tonight! With potato salad!! Mmmmmm!

Merry Christmas to all from Baton Rouge area. Here it is now chilly and windy, but sunny in my part of Louisiana!!

If we were talking amp sims.... well I'd think about it for sure!! For me, this is more my cup of tea for synths!! And with Vernon giving a thumbs up, I will check this version out.

I figured that there was some deal I wasn't seeing.

Yes it is.

This^^^ Trying to look like the rest. To me it seems that all companies have this culture of "Follow The Other or Regret Being Left Behind" which dictates change for the sake of change.

I am thinking you will proably buy it too!! Maybe not now, but it will be yours!! LOL!

Yep. Feel the same way. Sample Tank, Syntronik, and all of the stuff from AAS has me covered. Plus all the stuff from Waves, and several independent devs, I got more than I will use.

The Arturia is $199!!

And would this be the one?

Just a little bit of info here: I found out that I could d/l the install file with IKPM, then transfer that to a USB stick, load it on another pc, update it on new PC (with AT% already installed), and IKPM will now see that it has been updated! Nice! : )

I think then, that you would be surprised at how many musicians, that do this for a living, have all they need in thier phone.

: )

Looking at your situation, it looks like your right about that being the only way. Bypass amps and cabs. Unless you take the stereo signal and put left and right on a trk each, then mono input in AT5 will let you have a DI. Drop your fx the way you in the mixer slots, while bypassing the amps and cabs. You could also save that configuration as a preset in AT5.

Zo, haven't tried but will it let you remove the amp and cabs? @Mesh Read what I had to say about it Mesh. And now with the update, it's gotten a lot of those major bugs out the way!! I played it for about an hour so far tonight and I didn't see one bug that I was normally getting when it was first released. Yes, it worth it. Yes it's a great upgrade. Get it while the intro price is still good. They may not drop the price for a while.

It's back up to $139.

Nothing like pushing air from a amp driven speaker. But the feel/response is getting close. I have tried Universal Audio's Apollo interface that really helps with the amp input, getting that feel. I was really surprised last night that AT5 is a real close second to the UA stuff. And I was just using a cheap Behringer UM2 into my Surface last night running AT5 standalone.

Black Box and the Opticom are great plugins.

Played with AT5 last night. And I mean I just played. It was just sheer enjoyment. I wasn't switching back and forth between AT4 and AT5, I just started with AT5 and stuck with it. Wasn't really a hard choice either! : ) For some reason last night I was able to get it to record my practice drone I play and then was able to play over that. Several nights ago it wouldn't do that. And it just sounded so good. I mean I must have played that drone for 20 - 30 minutes. All clean tones (well chorus clean!! That Dimebag Doubler is da shizzzt!) I played different variations on the stuff I usually play, just coming up with different phrases. And it was towards the end when I realized that I had been playing so long because I was enjoying myself. I also think that IK must have done something with the input, because it was just responding so pleasingly. That was a major part of my enjoyment, the response I was getting. Just a great feel from an amp sim. (wonder how this is responding with the AXE?) I could go on about the VR Tech, but let me just say this. I have always played with open cabs. And I was never ever able to get that "openess" of a real cab until now. They nailed it on the open back cabs! I played for at least two and a half hours. Mostly playing stuff and just enjoying myself. I was just trying the AT5 included amps. (Try the Purple Floyd preset, turn off the delay.... love that sound!!) Well I am just gonna say it, they knock this one out the park. Even with all the BS bugs that I am still experiencing, this is gonna be my go-to amp sim. I was in the camp of "They shouldn't have released it yet". But now I don't care that it has bugs, I am going to use it anyway!! Great job IK.

Not quite.... but you are making progress!!! : )

Grabbed Wraith and the Frostpoint IR's. Good prices. Thans Reid. I listened to that one and was going to get it but they don't have a version for their Mirage synth yet. And I don't have Kontak.

I'm trying to learn from @mibby !!

Thanks Matt. Did not know about this. This will help a lot!!
