Soundwise

Considering how long they've been working on the Satriani bundle, it might as well be Amplitube 5.

I'll check first what Studio One 5 bringt to the table before adding another DAW to my arsenal. 

If it's the same strategy as the Samplitude X3->X4->X5, i.e., major version update without any significant changes/features, I'll stick to what I have and invest my money into something else. Hope it's not just a facelift.

Husker may have got there first, but I provided more pointless details that nobody cares about.  😃

Is this some kind of race? What's the prize?

And?  10 has been pretty stable for me. 

I wonder what you can do with Cubase, that you can't with CbB? Been toying with the idea to get Cubase Pro or at least upgrade to the latest Elements.

Starting at 1:14. The true sound of the plugin.  Not really impressive.

This is the IR loader plugin I've been waiting for!  Very flexible, intuitive and easy to use. Only $10. Instant buy.

With this month's sales I got Fiedler Audio Stage and Noveltech Character for $9.99 each. Hope to put these little gems to good use.

I have had a similar experience. AAS plugins seem troubled by Windows updates (who isn't?) and how they interact with CbB. There is a thread somewhere on the forum about this issue. I re-installed all my AAS plugs, which seems to work...

 

I should've mentioned, I have un- and re-installed all AAS plugins prior to reporting this issue. No cigar.

I believe, you installed the latest version, too. If not, please let me know, I'll try older versions.

Hi,

I just checked AAS guitars in CbB, Reaper and SOP. They open and play fine in both Reaper and SOP, but there is no GUI nor sound in CbB. It happens only with AAS Strum GS-2 and Session and only in Cakewalk. Anyone encountered this already?

I run W8.1x64 on Intel i7 Kaby Lake, RAM 16GB.

UPD. There is also a severe memory leak, when GS-2 is loaded within Cakewalk.

Looking at pan/stage/3D plugins, particularly

Some advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.

So the Chandler then? https://honestampsimreviews.com/2018/12/01/brainworx-chandler-gav19t/

I wanted this amp some time ago and used to cruise kvr for it but then forgot about it. Guys would sometimes sell it on there for $10 or so and usually it'd get snatched up quick. 

One trick pony kind of amp, but if it's good enough for Michael Lee Firkins,  it's a must have.

The installer program wants me to delete the previous version. I'm not willing to sacrifice the working setup for a version that requires going through the hoops of deleting an ilok product.

No way! Not abandonware any more?

Love this song.

Nice sounding library for sure! Good to know it runs in ST4 CS as well.

Great value, I had been waiting for this to come out cheaper. Shame it's not with the tracker hardware hey LOL.

Why would you want an active microwave transceiver mounted on your head? Why would anyone want this?

Loved the demos of this plugin. Fender amp sim this good is a must have.

Oh, why am I a guitar player?

On my end it sounds 100 times better, download the demo and test with your guitars, etc.

This demo is quite a bit better!

Wow, to me it sounds amazinggggg. I love the demo to death (the youtube video). Duet into Drop THX AAA 789 into Vic Firth headphones (because they are closed and have better bass and stuff). I am still on the floor like a worm happy about this.

I should've stated that this is my personal opinion expressing my personal impression and should be taken with a grain of salt. Sorry for not being considerate.

That being said, I'm not talking about fidelity of the sound source, but rather the character of tone. Back in the day I had been using early COSM based BOSS m-fx and, occasionally,  first gen Zoom digital FX. They weren't great back then but kind of useable. I can recognize that character easily. Contemporary m-fx have come a long way since then, that's why I think it's not cool to not match modern standards. YMMV.

THE most horrible sound demo for 2020. Reminds me of what digital products sounded like in the 90s-early 00s. No wonder Code series of amps was a disaster.

Does anybody use these? I've never really bothered with them. Is there something in there that I have been  missing out on all these years?

I use NF plugs occasionally. They make things sound very "musical", so to say. Not on par with the newest offerings from top developers, but still hold their own fairly well.

Vadim Taranov amp sims were previously available only in 32-bit. Now there are 64 bit versions. Gotta give 'em a try.

Also, there is a take on  Friedman, definitely worth checking out.

Am I the only one thinking about buying this just to save for the buy in for the group buy?  It is the most expensive of their products.   

Edit:  I mean in lasts year's group buy it was the most expensive.  Might not be this year.  

If there'll be a group buy this year, it might as well be centered around ST4/Syntronik libraries. I prefer not to invest my money into the company's business, unless I'm absolutely confident what I'll get for this.

@Ryan IK Multimedia  Off Topic, sorry, how goes it with Amplitube Joe Satriani ? must be 5 months since the Pre-Order opened.

I second that.
