    I suggest DOWNLOAD everything you would like to buy now and test it of course, but my main point I'd like you to be aware of (just a reminder):
    Once the sale goes live servers are gonna get melted by all the users downloading stuff at once.
    And some stuff is around 2 Gigabytes (channel strips).

    Something to consider maybe, is that the following are part of the Modula Bundle, so if you're interested in Modula, you can get just Modula light:
     

    Magenta 5

    Cola 2

    Lime 2

    Color EQ-3

    Gold 2

    Taupe

    Wow! You have lightened the load quite a bit! Where do you sell them - KVR?

    Vi Control ( I think all my sales have been on the Vi Control forum, weird, as I also post sometimes my stuff on KVR).
    I feel Vi Control is better because for some reason I feel smarter people go there, and by smarter I mean "with more money to spend", but also know what they want or what they are buying.

    And I've gotten great deals there, vs KVR which are meh (sellers "think" they are fooling us with their "deals" but not me, lol... unless I really really want some gem I find and want to save 5 bucks... :P)

    Next stop UAD? ;)

    And at the end of your journey you will see plugins don't matter 😛  Only you do  matter ;)

    I'll let you know when my new Babyface Pro FS arrives, it's been 11 days since I ordered it and it hasn't arrived (DHL must be sooo busy, my package has always been just "next" state :(

    And yeah, WE only matter ;)

    I already tried disabling the OpenGL graphics option, didn't make any difference for me, apart from being uglier. After more lengthy testing things I can honestly say I have no idea other than Amp Room is just CPU intensive. I originally thought it was fine in REAPER, but no it's the same for me going by REAPER's performance monitor. Not that it's unusable, but I would say 3 or 4 instances at a time would make it so.

    I will leave it there, I have all the amps available separately in their original releases at least, and they all behave well, so I am thankful for that.

    First plugin I can recall having issues with, bummer.

    Now that I have Windows is up to date, at least support might look more favorably upon it, we shall see.

    Um, I found probably the issue of your problem:
    The Core i7-4790K is still based on Intel's fourth-generation Core architecture, codenamed Haswell. It's still built on the same 22nm process, and it has the same HD Graphics 4600 onboard GPU at the same clock speeds.Jul 31, 2014

    Mine is a 7th generation, plus a dedicated video card.
    I feel your desktop/laptop is holding you back at this moment (6 years  old system).
    My laptop is a 7th generation, and even though I feel it's great, sometimes I feel I need to either get better ram or just plain simple get the best new system I can.

    I really hope the next Studio One update is efficiency related.

    Do I know how/if they can do it? No I do not 😂

    I sold s1 Pro 4 because of performance issues and stayed with Reaper

    Well I have updated Windows 10 to 1903 and it says it's up to date, but also says I can download and install 1909 if I want, but I thought I would just stay there for now. I tested Amp Room in Studio One again, still the same, then I had a thought and instead of adding it to a track with my Guitar chain alread present, just add it to a blank track, it loaded quickly and behaved itself CPU wise. So I added it to my regular guitar track again and started going through and turning off the other plugins on that track 1 by 1.

    It turns out that it doesn't seem to get along with Waves SSL Channel, if I switch it off CPU use drops about 25%, switch it back on CPU use jumps up about 25%, repeatable over and over again. Then I had another thought, as usual my guitar tracks are mono, so I use the Mono version of the SSLChannel plug, so I switched it out for the Stereo version of the SSL plug, CPU use behaves itself, disable the stereo plug and enable the Mono version, CPU jumps up again.

    Messed around with the 'L Stereo R' input thing at the top of Amp Room and different Mono/Stereo SSL plug, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

    So as long as I use the Stereo version of the Waves SSLChannel it's all good. Strange.

    No that's not it.


    I suggest you disable OpenGL Graphics. I just got the Tubech complete collection and even though Reaper showed minimal cpu usage the project was slow as hell. I disabled the OpenGL graphics and et voilá, now task manager says Reaper isn't using power at all (and I have a 1050 GTX dedicated graphics card).

    Maybe this will work on your system too for the good.

    but when I'm tracking a band or I want the ability to run mics through a Helios, SSL4000, Manley, Neve 1073, etc., I've found there is simply no better sounding strategy without owning the actual gear. 

    Yep, I know. Very good point to underline though.
    This is when you want to print those effects while you record.
    And I bet you get your desired results (sonic wise I bet it sounds great).

    Regardless of OS no regular interface/plugin combination can do this.

    Exactly. The Unison thing is done by the interface. It's not Mac environment exclusive (I know you know this, just underlining this point myself).

    :::::::::

    Because at the end of the day,  if you were to use only UA plugins, and they weren't printed, if you  lost the interface or it finally failed to work, you can do anything to your projects, as your plugins (UA) are they are tied to your interface.

    Grem , i asked them about the ability to have more core , and heat was the issue , and yes a twin duo is already super hot , can t imagine the quad ...and you re right the twin is really for recording purpose , i was considering it for my channel , but the rme does the job ....one thing i would love feedback on , is unison. Versus non unison amp sim ? Is that really a big diff like some say ?

    I trust this guy to death, so I here I leave you with this post, you can read all the thread if you want:

    Good try.

    Mate, YOU good try, lol.

    Here I leave you with a link so you can see you're wrong (or ignorant):
    https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ApolloTDusb--universal-audio-apollo-twin-usb-duo-2x6-usb-audio-interface-with-uad-dsp
    That's the 899 reference, and guess what? Works in Windows... sigh...
    And I don't think you read me that well.
    Ok, so you wanna be trapped? More power to you.
    I don't have one of those and I am more aware of its environment and how it works than you, weird.

    And the whole point was just to answer why you were hitting a max limit with just 3 plugins.
    And if I felt you were using sarcasm, then I was laughing with you.
    You weren't, so obviously feels I was laughing at you.
    Whatever.
    Mate really get out of your Studio, I know, hard because of Covid, and take a deep breath or two...

     

    (Oh, and 3/4 plugins... Were you born that way ?  don't get me started... this is the first time someone is so jumpy about something I said... glad it was someone with more than 1 post at least).
