    No. Tonex software is required, if you have the pedal, Tonex Max is included.
    There are dozens of videos on YouTube, here is one.

    You don't even need the pedal. Tonex CS does not included the capture function but Tonex does, currently $99 at IKM.
    Capture your amps and use them in Amp 5 as Jim suggested above.

    HTH...

    Thanks Tom

    I think the cool part about Profiles/Captures/Clones is that you can "virtualize" your real amps/pedals.

    You can then load any of these Captures into Amplitube 5... which offers a lot of flexibility.

    RE your comment; can this be done with only the ToneX Pedal (and AT)?  Or is the ToneX capture required, also?  

  3. I'm still playing my bass parts - Blacktop Jazz with double P pickups and lately I'm using the bx_bassdude and CLA-3, which I'm very happy with. I did have to sell my last baritone (I've had 4 so far) for a car repair and while trying to use the SoundIron Baritone, someone suggested MODO Bass. Instantly.... well, a little adjusting/tweaking and I was really pleased and relieved that I can put off getting another one. ..... a longhorn Dano would be very cool/fun!

    So, Jim, I'm not surprised by your post at all.

  4. His drum parts on oh so many favorite songs/albums are still a joy to hear. I also loved his Hammond part on Jackson Browne's Under the falling sky. 

    I can think of two times I got to hear/see him; Mad Dogs and Derek & the Dominos both in Chicago......  I trust that he is at peace now.

  5. Since  the ToneX Pedal "Includes TONEX MAX software all-in-one player, modeler and librarian and AmpliTube 5 software" and I assume we can use Jam Points.  Then $280 seems pretty reasonable! 

  6. I have 33 PA plugs and learned from MiMo, so I have the presets - .spp files loaded and can create/import/export them, which I'm quite pleased with (not being that much of a PC type). 

    I have 3 PA plugs that I'm hung up on.

    Noveltec Vocal Enhancer; can load a preset from the VST3 pull down, but not save to CW

    bx_oberhausen; I can see the presets but not load one of the 351 Factory VST3 ones (hence I can't save either)

    Double MS: doesn't even show up,  though I installed (again)

    I mostly care about the oberhausen presets. Instead of having VST3 preset extensions, it has .papreset and I always get "Invalid File" 

    Also, because of my lack of knowledge, the PA preset bundle download comes with Internal and External folders. I am not sure what that means. I'd like to assume it's the difference between the VST3 pull down and the Cakewalk Save-able one, but would rather find out.

    Thanks

  7. OK OK   I'm tinkin' 'bout it. Do I need it? Would I used it? Hmmmm 

    It seems suspicious that I got interested AGAIN at another $1.60 off, though! LOL 

  8. Thanks to all of (you) the "above". I have exactly $40 LOL and a Fishman Spectrum AND some nice mics (MA200, MA101fet, M160, ADK Thor )but not a good tracking room/space. I am considering this Nembrini and now going to go explore the 3sigma IR options. I also have the United QuickAG which I thought might help, since I want to "cover" my acoustics, mandolin and violin.... 

    Well, at least I have a couple more days to decide and now feel more informed than yesterday! LOL 

  9. @jack c.    An easy way to create some dynamic variation is to have instruments drop out and/or add some reverb so that some seem 'further" back in the "room"....

    Having a spot where the vocal is only supported by a "thin" sounding instrument, will make the re-entrance of all them sound bigger and dramatic. Simply having your choruses be bigger/louder than the verses is the main way to get some variety. Creating a middle that's bigger or much smaller sounding will make it stand out from the body of the track, too. 

    Using automation to bring things to the foreground (of the listener's attention), like moving the high hats up or down/back, bringing in a certain guitar here or there is always good mixing technique. 

    The things to change are frequencies, tonality, arrangement, panorama, depth etc.

    have a spot with just bass or something high and ephemeral

    have a spot with no bass and another with no drums etc 

    have things on far left/right drop out to "showcase the center" or vice versa

    Like drummers used to switch to their ride cymbal for the chorus or the bell for the biggest section of the song, use more or busier sometimes and less or quieter in between......
