Carl Ewing 168 Posted April 3 (edited) Curious - for those into Amp sims, which do you feel are the better sims from PA? I have BX_Rockrack V3 and BX_Bassman but looking for some guitar sims geared towards metal / heavy tones. Already have Amplitube 5 and most collections, but the CPU hit is enormous on mobile rig, so trying to find decent stand alone sims. Also have the Mix & Master bundle, but it excludes all the amp stuff of course. Currently looking at Suhr PT100, Diezel VH4 / Herbert and Friedman BE-100. But have heard good things about the Fuchs as well. Anyone recommend these or others? Edited April 3 by Carl Ewing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diezel VH4 is great and has a really nice sounding clean channel as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antler 1,291 Posted April 3 It's very tempting to put my voucher towards Soma, but I'm also quite interested in Tails (which becomes available for purchase after the sale ends). I suppose I need to decide whether I 'need' a(nother) EQ, or reverb... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alternatively, for my mobile rig, I've been getting Nembrini amps for iOS, when on sale for $10. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
filo 151 Posted April 4 (edited) Anybody knows when PA do trial period reset? Maybe once per year from trial start date? I would like to try (again) some of their amps but I have all of them blocked now with "trial period is expired" message. Edited April 4 by filo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I remember it is only periodically when they decide to for unknown reasons. I've never done it myself, but I've read that others requested a trial reset after a long period of time to try something out again with positive results. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bapu 4,842 Posted April 4 (edited) Used my $75 and $25 April vouchers to get Buxom Betty, Lindel 245E and 345E and SPL MoVerb Plus for a total outlay of just a few pennies under 40 clams. Once again, I'm pretty tapped out on 'wants' from PA with an ownership total of 85 plugins from them. Edited April 5 by Bapu 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heath row 119 Posted April 5 Oh dear, I just blew a voucher and $25 on something I already had.😢 The other day I got a message when trying to purchase something I already had, I don't think I got one today, unless I just never seen it 😟 I think it's a sign of to many plugins, to much GAS. Studio One gives me a plugin count of 1599, I think I need to be admitted to some kind of help program 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was a great game… Assuming you paid $20 for each of those plugins...erring on the low side, that's about $1860 spent. Which is about 10 years of subscription which would also give you $2000 in annual sub vouchers, and $1000s in monthly vouchers. If anyone has doubts, this is why the PA subscriptions are a no brainer. Edited April 5 by Carl Ewing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If anyone has doubts, this is why the PA subscriptions are a no brainer. Yes and no.. you get at least 6 or 7 free when you first register. All the sub $19 range most people that have been around for a while have picked up for free, which is quite a few plugins. You also get some more expensive ones free with certain audio hardware. Some PA plugs also come with an additional plugin when you buy them. I tend to only buy from about $10 to max $25. Average is probably $15 for me, although I've had some ridiculously cheap scores with bundles and voucher stacking 🙂 I was adding some of the costs to my plugins sheet the other day and I have a tonne of PA plugs as well and looks like it might end up around the same as 2 years of the subscription. But they're all owned and I have all I really wanted. Now I'll just pick up a couple of nice to haves occasionally and I have no annual ongoing costs 🙂 I'm not saying their subscription is bad and I think it's probably the best I've seen, but in the long run the subscription option isn't always the best way in my opinion.

Craig Fowler 230 Posted April 5 Any thoughts on Crispy Tuner? Does pitch correction sound natural with it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
