Soundwise

Same here, although v2 works fine in Reaper.

I always liked his amp sims. Now I tried his keys and let me tell you, this man has really got a good ear! I love the sound of this instrument, particularly, Rhodes and Clavinet libs.

So far I only demoed the TrainWreck knock-off sim and really like. 10 out of 10 in my book.

Interesting indeed! Eventide style chorusing is what I love using for guitar tones, clean and lead alike.

I find this is true not only for bass amps, but other studio processors like comps and EQs. Although better is subjective, as IK plugins still sound awesome.

Haha! No matter how many people dislike these amp sims, tone like this inspires me to play for hours and hours. The only thing that turns me off is the intro price. I'll wait for a sale and get these ASAP.

Great sounding demos! Will keep an eye on these.

Great sounding classical guitar is what I need/want ATM. Too bad, we can't do the shopping off-line. Gotta stay home and wait to see what the future holds.

They've had this tempo adjustment for quite some time. Not really sure when it was introduced first, but it's definitely not new. The track is, the functionality isn't. They should've fixed/revamped their AQ feature, as it's barely useable.

Looks very promising. Might be the best software bass instrument to ever hit the market. Wonder if they have EZBrass and EZStrings in the pipeline.

LOL! Not that great as it used to be. 10 years ago it was very easy to work with. It would run effortlessly on my laptop. I had high hopes for X3, but was bitterly disappointed with no modern UI/UX updates and too many bugs like constant drop outs and frequent crashes. The only benefit was getting the suite with full Independence and SpectraLayers Pro. X4 and X5 don't bring anything worth paying for. I'm with Bapu on this one.

Right! Committing changes is a tough thing to learn. I've seen an interview with Eddie Kramer, where he mentioned this as a necessity of 70s' studio workflow. Got me thinking that revisiting and readjusting processing isn't always a great idea. I'm yet to start exporting stems for mixing, though.

6 strings: instant results; 6 - 1 = half a year. 6 - k = (half a year)*k, k∈[1,6) See what I did here?

I didn't get the joke, so I'll reply to this as is. Switching from normal 6-string guitar to 5-string bass was quite a challenge indeed. Took me about half a year to fully embrace the extended lower range, particularly the extra bottom string.

If I already have ARC2.5, is the new mic a lot better or should I keep the mic and just upgrade the software?

Well, technically speaking, any amplifying cascade can be called an "amp". I'm talking about power amp circuit emulation which isn't there. There shouldn't be one at least for Engl e530, because it is a preamp by design. Other "amps" may or may not have it. It seems like they don't either. I couldn't hear or measure its impact, although I tried hard.

Nice collection of sound I actually never use. Time to stop collecting, not! Putler government style.

AFAICT, it's a collection of preamps, no power amp circuit simulation is present.

Have you considered getting this bundle? https://www.ownhammer.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=192_193&products_id=449 The intro price was ~$20. That's all I know about OH sales.

Whoisnimi.

It does. Unless the company claims that "This plugin is included in our MEGA Bundle Subscription and the Brainworx Brand Bundle at no extra cost!"

Would love me something Voxy for sure! Far better than PA? Wasn't megasingle developed by Igor Nembrini as well? Are you talking about amp side or the plugin overall? IMO, PA amps lack in IR department, but are perfectly fine with recording chain section bypassed. I prefer to use ampsims with third party IRs, particularly by Celestion. I suspect that Cali is hardly any better than bx megas if you use your favourite IRs. The real question is - is there any noticeable difference at all?

Is this bx_megasingle with different branding/options?

Mega is 28+ grand. Now I know.

Amazing! Some much fun playing this instrument. I don't really need to see the slide show, as when inspiration hits, imagination runs its own show. LOL.
