ensconced

Yeah I got Amp(1) Pro, Amp2 Elite, FX(1)Pro, FX2 Elite, and all the expansions installed, but I haven't updated FX2 to the latest version, I'm still on 2.1.7.4820, I never updated to 2.1.8 because it only addressed some wording thing with guitar match, and I don't use guitar match so I didn't bother. I have read that people having preset issues with 2.1.9 resolve them by going back to 2.1.8.

Tempted to install 2.1.9 just to see what gives, it shouldn't have any effect on me because I own everything, and Tonecloud shouldn't be a problem for same reason, but I don't use Tonecloud aside from 'Official' stuff anyway so it wouldn't bother me. But I think I'll give it a miss as there isn't really anything in the release notes of interest, as mention don't use guitar match so the 2 new guitars mean nothing to me, no interest in the new backing track thing, and the bug fixes are for stuff that doesn't concern me, or at least hasn't bothered me.

I went and checked the forums, interesting times 😁

Yes, according to our Government and health officials there is no need to wear/ you shouldn't be wearing a mask (generally speaking/ exceptions aside). Bad form indeed.

Just roll back to the previous version, uninstall - reinstall and all will be good.

Do you own Amp2?

Thunder - English Man On Holiday

Yeah, we have got a 'Caronavirus Mask Tip' here, it's quickly filling up with all the used masks, I imagine they will have fill that one in and start another before to long.

Me, it would be just throw it all, unless I knew someone or a couple of people who wanted it, then I would give it to them. To me selling on Ebay or whatever would be just to much of a hassle, especially if you have a lot of separate items, apart from putting it all on line you'd have to go through packaging, shipping etc for every item, and for me the hassle/reward ratio would make it not worth it. Sure it would be good to get it to someone who can make use of it, but you got to weigh up the time and effort you have to put in. YMMV of course.

Spoiler Alert! I am looking at my screen, and it shows me these and more:

- SSL 9000 J with TMT (April 8!)
- new Black Box HG-2MS
- new DS Audio synth

SSL 9000 is of interest, and Zo seems to think it sounds good

Look forward to new BBHG

Dimitry Sches makes good stuff, so looking forward to that.

Can't get to exited about unknown plugins from unknown 3rd parties, just have to wait I guess.

I hope they REALLY up their game as far as Amp Sims go, I owned all of theirs, and frankly IMO they all sucked copious quantities of buttocks, I gave most of them away and sold a couple of the newer ones for next to nothing. Bassdude and the Chandler were the only ones to have a smiggen of saving grace. Just my opinion of course, but I have promised myself never to buy another PA Amp Sim.

Yes not having a lot of extras hanging on is good. I like mixIR2/3 how you can use their Neve and API EQ IR's with your cab IR, at first I couldn't grasp it, I could just use a plugin of kind etc, but I find that the EQ IR's can work really well and sound so good and very easy to use. Also with mixIR you can set up your IR's, blend, add, whatever, then export the result of the various IR's you may have used into a single IR which can be use in any other IR loader, and well just folds multiple IR's down to 1 for easier management.

Yeah $50 ($60 for mixIR3) might be a bit steep, but personally for me it was well worth it. I find it easy and quick to use, does what I want hassle free really. mixIR3 is a good step up from 2, not that there was anything wrong with 2, but 3 is nicer and easier again to work with, with the IR Module method (Standard IR's still available as well).

The new Redwirez IR's are very good, for me Redwirez and Ownhammer sound the best by a good margin.

Recabinet 5 is also very good, pretty lean,  although you can't get it anymore unless 2nd hand.

Bill Withers . . . Yes he surely does, and like a flower so shall we all.

RIP Bill

Were you trying to purchase an IR Pick and Mix 5 pack?

Seems that is not included in the sale.

This might be appealing if every IR loader I've ever tried wasn't trash.

If I may ask what IR loaders are you using/have you used, and what do you find wrong with them.

I mainly use mixIR2, mixIR3 or Recabinet 5, none are perfect and all have a few niggles, but I manage to get past those. 2 Notes WOS I just couldn't get past various things, plus the proprietary nature of their IR's is another thing (wasted money on their IR's now, but you get that ), can't remember the others I have tried/used now, there have been a few, but I have been using mixIR2/3 and Recab5 for a long time now, mainly now I use mixIR3 and the new RedWirez IR's since they came out a couple of months ago.

I have the Laney LFR1 FRFR Cabinet for my Ampero....it's pretty nice!

I just got the Celestion Laney pack and they sound very sweet indeed.

No issue with the deal Code, worked as expected. Might push my luck and grab the Suhr and maybe Orange, and maybe Vox , exchange rate for Aus$ is in the toilet so that puts big ticket items in the no go box, so may as well appease the GAS Gods with some smaller ticket items.

(I have kept some aside in anticipation of  EZ Bass regardless of exchange rate   )

[Edit] (Got Vox and Orange, again got that 'boxy' sound, compared against OwnHammer and Redwirez Vox and Orange, OwnHammer and Redwirez win hands down, No more Celestion IR's for me)

I was looking at this when it was on sale recently (maybe the sale Zo speaks of) got the demo and tried it out, but it didn't really do much for me, so I let it pass. Shame, I was hoping it would be better than it was.

I got a heap of these, but don't think that much of them, for me they have a 'boxy' resonance type thing or something about them, I just never use them.

I much prefer OwnHammer IR's or now  the NEW Redwirez IR's with the new mixIR3, excellent (even the old RedWirez BigBox IR's with mixIR2 and the Neve EQ IR's and the Speaker Impedance IR's can get some awesome tones)

But I might get the Laney Pack at this price just because I'm a huge Laney fan.

Yeah, whenever I have read that, I just can't grasp the concept, it's just, I don't know, alien or something but to those people the way I have it is probably equally as strange

Two 24" monitors

2x24" monitors, that's what I use as well (although you wont find CbB/SONAR on mine), I would/could never use a single monitor (unless it was big enough to comfortably allow me to do what I do with my 2) I really can't understand how people do it, even more so do it on a laptop. I had to use a Laptop last year while I was away looking after my parents, couldn't do it, had to get 2 monitors and hook them up, it felt claustrophobic or something, horrible experience.

The Studio Sessions packs are both excellent, and don't forget if you own the full REmatrix that you will have a code in your account (in the serial numbers section) that will get you an extra 20% off REmatrix libraries. An even better bargain 👍 (At the OVERLOUD shop of course)
