  1. So after you having tried all these Nueral amps, are you saying most don't sound good to you and are muddy? And if so, is that the case w/ both guitar and bass? Curious
  2. You've been mentioning how your sound is often muddy when plugging into these sims. What's your interface? Your front end can make all the difference too. Just saying, because I don't experience this muddiness you've been talking about. These amp sims basically require a rating of 1m ohm to deliver the right signal to the amp sim for it to perform optimally.
  3. Cool, in that case you've got a few days as the sale ends EET (UTC+2) on December 3rd. Given the time zone difference best to play it safe and pretend it ends on December 1st. Just looking out.. I won't change my mind.. I want nothing 😬
  4. I asked that earlier and I don't get it either. I'm not getting anything but just curious on the details. I can't say for sure what they do if you *buy* something, but when you download a demo they email you an activation code (sometimes no code is required) and then you activate it to your ilok. But yeah, I don't get why the discount would be capped at 7.. seems like anything over 7 would be discounted the same..
  5. Are you doing this on the honor system? I mean are you fronting the money for this and counting on people to pay you back via PayPal Gift to get the serials from you? Because I was gonna say, if you can't reach 7 products for the 3rd order then perhaps someone can post a heads up on another forum - though if you don't know those people it's possible one of them could flake out and not pay you.
  6. I think I've been to bed twice since Zo's been up in here lol... ZO! What are you sleeping dude??
  7. Ok.. count me out. That's self-control. I could buy something from this deal but I'm not a collector and I've already cleaned up at the Nembrini 80% off sale (which just ended two days ago) and would have done the same even if this Nueral sale was going on at the same time. I won't lie it's hard to pass this deal up, but I've got Nembrini's Marshall, Soldano, The Boss (Marshall Guv'nor) and PSA1000 plus some great IRs and other top of the line outboard pedal vsts etc, and for my particular requirements I'm already more than set w/ some of the best stuff available on the market. The thing about these types of suites -- and that includes these Neural suites, which imo are the best suites of their kind on the market -- is that they're self-contained and designed to be *fully utilized* in order to get the best out of them. I like Nembrini stuff because it's hands down every bit as good as Nueral's except it's single high-end pieces rather than a handful of things in a suite and I can match them up w/ my own choice of outboard gear and not have to use or turn off features I don't want/like in a suite. But those are just my particular requirements, and I'm prioritizing and exercising self-control because this deal is temping af but I'm gonna let it skate by. That said, anyone in the market for the best d@mn amp suites available Neural is the company and *this* is the deal you need to get in on quickly. As for me, I won't regret not getting anything from this deal; I regret not wanting anything from it. **bows to the applause and standing ovation of his self-consoling concession speech over a d@mn plugin**
  8. What have you decided for yourself is the best of these guitar amps, if you could only have one?
  9. Lol when do you sleep man, seems like you've been up all night and day lol
  10. Zo, are you in France right now?
  11. So they're capping it at 7 and if you buy, say, 8 plugs then it starts over and the 8th one counts as one plugin and thus isn't discounted at 50% off? If so that's.. weird
  12. I'll let you know by tomorrow around this time - though, likely I'm out. But I didn't have time to demo stuff today but I can tomorrow afternoon. Feel free to order w/o me though.
  13. I thought about Paralax, but that thing it does that I think is it's specialty/selling point, which is parallel processing of two amp sounds (one for dirt and the other for clean foundation) I already do on my own w/ the Brainworx Ampeg VR and I have way more flexibility that way because I'm not bound to whatever fuzz/distortion they give you in Paralax, though Paralax is self-contained but in any case I've already made my bass amp decisions when I bought the Ampeg. Same for the guitar amps, which is why I'll likely not get anything from this deal. If they had had these sales earlier in the year I may have made different decisions. (did you ever sort out your missing Arturia presets?)
  14. Are you trying to do all this today?
  15. Kuassa Amplifikation Matchlock http://everyplugin.com/amplifikation-matchlock.html
  16. Not to discourage you if that's what you want to do, but are you sure buying both of those wouldn't be a bit redundant? Admittedly I've only demoed Nolly of the two, but I've read that if you had Nolly then you aren't missing much w/ Plini. That's just what I've read though and haven't verified it for myself. I suppose if you've demoed both you can determine that for yourself. Either way I think I'm out though. I am in the market for a great non-suite clean amp and will likely be getting Matchlock for $29 in a day or two. I really liked the clean amp in Nolly. I'll test it again, but I doubt I'll get it just for that.
  17. I didn't like Nolly's high gain amp. I'll demo Nameless today. I don't really like any modern high gain amp. But the first two amps in Nolly I thought were cool but I don't know if they justified buying the whole thing just for those.
  18. Right. I have the bundle and have for a few years now (and they've been issuing free updates) so as far as I know I already have everything they have.
  19. For me the Big Goat and HM2 is where it's at from that collection. I had the HM2 as a kid and hated it because it wouldn't do Metallica but now I get it. What do folks like the DS-1 for? In front of a Marshall for leads or something?
  20. I heard another dude that tried to use this code at the PA site.. got a pop up that stated a 29.016 minimum
  21. So then I tried this code at the Plugin Alliance site.. got a pop up message that told me to f*** off 😨
  22. Yeah, I see now w/ more testing I've been overdoing this. I can just blend the two amp sims on thier main track faders since the faders have no effect on the gain staging of the input going to the amp sims - that's controlled by my front end and interface - and I don't need to be sending these tracks to buses for the sake of blending them. I see now that was some superfluous s#!t. Just a stereo Guitar Master bus is all I need for a "master volume" of those amps and for effects if any. I'm way better at guitar than this stuff. Thanks all.
  23. Well which of the aforementioned buses are you referring to as not necessarily being necessary? Well the reason I'm sending each of those amp sim tracks to their own mono buses -- and there are two audio tracks, each w/ their own amp sim -- is because this is a virtual dual amp rig where I'm splitting my guitar signal and playing through two separate amp sims simultaneously, and on the first amp sim track there's a cranked Marshall amp, on the second audio amp sim track there's an amp w/ a big muff and so these amps sound quite different from one another and need to be able to be blended to tatse and the only way I can think to do that while leaving the main track faders at unity is to send each of those tracks to their own separate mono bus (or aux tracks, alternatively) and blend them there. Then, the reason I then send those two mono amp sim buses to a Guitar Master bus is because once I've blended to taste those two amps on those two buses I then need a master volume for those two blended amps/buses. That's why that Guitar Master bus yet and still then gets sent to the main Master bus - because the Guitar Master bus is basically a master volume knob for this dual amp sim rig. If I were to just send both of those amp sim tracks to a single shared mono (or stereo bus) there'd be no way (that I know of) for me to adjust their levels separately to get the perfect blend of the two amps. Does that make sense? I know this is maybe a unique setup and maybe it seems a bit excessive but for the type of control I'm needing for these two amp sims this is the best way I can think to do it, but I not 100% on that.. Lol I thought I was being clever w/ this arrangement but I'm obviously no expert, though as I get a little better at this whole thing I've been trying to intuit stuff like this per my specific needs/ideas, and that's why I'm tyring to make sure my tees are crossed etc so I can skillfully manipulate stuff "correctly." Just to add: the reason I don't just dual track those two amps separately rather than playing through them simultaneously like I do now is because the dual amp sound *is* my guitar sound and always has been. I've always split my guitar signal between two amps back when I was using real amps, where each amp sounded quite different and my sound came from a blending of the two. These days I'm trying to replicate that in the virtual realm so that's what's going on here.
  24. I just tried this code at the Waves site and got their whole dang catalog for jack squat! Woo!
