AMP max is a far larger package of gear, and if the tonex integration continues it could become even more powerful if you are willing to invest in that also.

I don't own it so I can't confirm but are you sure this isn't included now? Seems like those things are now on the gear list: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/amplitube5/?pkey=amplitube-5-max#thegear I bascially got eveyrthing other than the Boogie 2 since that came out after the crazy group buy stuff.

Photo, Publisher, Desiger https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/ While not audio related, I think there are a number of us using such apps for marketing, design, pormotion work related to our music creation. Disapointed they don't have an additional loyalty upgrade, but we are seeing V2 coming with a new higher price structure, but advantages for those that use both MAC and PC. As for me, that wasn't a perk. At least they didn't go the subscription route.

I personally like this one, for $15 it is a viable option. Though it is on the resoruse hungry side of things so might not the best for "mix" use on an older computer. Of course as to be expected for something sometimes marketed as a mastering EQ.

This is all true but those are functions a whole lot of people don't really need (outside of GPU usage). I've got a couple older versions of Vegas and I just don't like it honestly. Everyone has different needs. For lots of people the m4/3 tiny sensor in th eGH4 isn't good enough and simply being 10 bit doesn't overcome that. So everyone should be aware of the entire workflow before commiting. Davinci is too resourse hungry unless you have a pretty bad-***** computer. The full screen viewing is a personal thing. I know pros that also black out portions of the screen when they need the distractionless view. Where other people can work with a massive SMPTE timecode blasted on the main screen. If working with 4K, most people are using proxy files anyway so the live preview of a "full" view isn't really full rez. I like Premiere Pro but don't like the subscription model. Though Vegas Pro upgrades at $130 feels steep to me.

Yes, it is very handy for vocal work they why I said it is the only pluign they make that I'll use. Everything else that is pretty comperable costs a lot more.

I'd have to do a full blown uninstall I think to make it work. Last time I attempted that, it left the remains so it still scanned those shells even though nothing from those versions were "activated" Likley not a problem on a new computer build but for one that has been used for years and seen multiple versions the uninstall was not nearly as clean as I'd want it to be. There is also the concern that without WUP adjustments I make to it could break things and make them worthless (I have v9, v10, and v13 plguins that don't work already). I set the sytem up to only scan when I force it, but still WAVES always feels like a bottleneck even though I have a stupid amount of plugins.

respecfully, this is not the case in all instances. It SHOULD still work, but I have multiple instances where that is not hte case across multiple computers and I'm not the only person in the world that had this problem.

Yeah, I mine scans v9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. Super annoying when the only one I still use is Sibilance and ClarityVX (both 13 or 14)

I don't have a MAC. Your idea in theory is correct. However, I've had old versions (and new versions) just stop working out of the blue at least 3 times over quite a few years of use. Instead of doing WUP, I just let them die and found an alternative. If you do not have them installed today, I'm not sure you can install v14 if there is already a compatiblity problem. But generally speaking WAVES, in theory, says you can have multiple co-existig versions. ClarityVX is the only plugin they make that I'll put on a project these days.

Every WAVES sale like this makes me think of a reality tv show like one of the home makevers where they give away a $1M home and then it costs the recipient so much money in the long run that 90% of them go bankrupt.

Packs seem to be from this company: https://www.producerloops.com/Download-Producer-Loops-Essence-of-Analogue-Vol-1-House.html • Royalty-Free (No Exceptions)

Honestly I think they should offer Core for free to then encourage more people to buy the echosystem. MXXX as a full product just throw it in with the bundles that include all the plugins.

Eventually I'll have to take a look at MXXX core but it also seems pretty expensive for a playground to put things I already own in.

Out of all the plugins I have - Scaler 2 is easily top 5 for me it has no equals in this area.

Who in their right mind saw everyting V2 offered and didn't jump on the $19 upgrades already? Oh wait...looks like Fleer didn't.

https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=117783#:~:text=Yes%2C you can use two,is in the Studio version. Perhpas it is in fact the "full screen / clean feed" that is lacking. I was thinking that 2nd monitor support enabled it, but it does tend to get greyed on on some setups and video cards. It supports the dual monitor setup, but perhpas not the full functionality you are looking for.

This might depend on your equipment. Resolve does support 4K 60P. Not supporting 10 bit is a legit issue though for the free version for those that depend on it. With the right GPU, you should be able to have a seperate full screen at good resolution. That said, it will take a much higher spec to do it than many other editing programs as Resolve likes to downgrade previews if your hardware isn't snooty. (something I run into) ?

This but honestly it requires a pretty heavy spec/modern computer to run it.

Don't ignore some that don't have as many thumbs up. There is some correlation between more gain and thumbs ups in the overall user base from what I saw. Not a bad place to start of course but there are some solid ones that didn't get the virtual love. I also don't care for high gain stuff (except in limited doses).

New voucher also coincides with a reduction of my loyalty tier. I was at $75 the entire time they had the terrible voucher system (thanks to spending way too much money) now they bring it back and drop me to $50. Hopefully we see some more $20 with no min spend before the end of the year.

Adding fuel to the fire here. I did grab it for a $5 purchase and it does have reverbs in it that are not included in MTurboLE (which is pretty crazy given the number that are in TurboLE

Might have to go bargin bin diving. Already have full Decoda and MTurboReverbLE - but getting the MReverb with multi-band function might be a nice to have also.

I tend to go after the stuff that was profiled directly also. That being said, I do appreciate a number of the KPA models that were posted - some of those I tried seemed pretty well vetted to be of excellent quality. It does tend to take away a bit from the idea of getting this RAW sounding capture with all the dynamics of the real gear though and sometimes the volume knob adjustments on a guitar don't react the way the real gear would and could have been a limiation of the KPA profile in the first place. Of course I'd prefer to get the same amp captured with Tonex instead of a KPA capture then being captured by Tonex but if it wasn't for those creating these the pickings would be even more slim than they are already. That is one thing I'm looking forward to testing when I get access to some high end tube amps that are designed to actually interact with the guitar and tone knobs and see how well Tonex deals with it.

Yep, he is already on my "follow" list. There are really only a handfull of people it seems like really churning a bunch out. I said it before when it was released, the method of capture is going to limit what we get as I personally think re-amp devices are not something your average guitar player has. I did a lot of boutique effects pedal grabs as that was easy for me to do at low volumes. I also did a few low watt amps with small cabs to test the waters and try out mic combos easily. But I'm going to have to coordinate some studio time to get some high-end amp stuff.
