Soundwise

Shredder the GOAT

Quite an eye candy this new DAW!

Revenge of the Sith Dirk.

It doesn't do anything obvious, pretty much like in some cases it's hard to tell whether a DI box really does something or it's kind of a fifth leg in the signal chain. Since I live in exile, far from home where I had mountains of gear, this plugin seems like a viable substitute for normal DI boxes, which IME help to go from good to great tonewise while recording high impedance sources like guitars and basses with traditional passive pickups.

Cool little plugin. Nice update, although now it's a bit more CPU hungry. I wonder if DIFIX ever goes on sale.

Heck! I paid $30 and thought it was a good deal. ?

Nembrini Audio has arguably the best rendition of this pedal in a plugin. And it's free.

Easy! You just load the plugin, then it prompts you to drag-and-drop a patch file onto it. It's a simple file But you need to download the zip archive from Github and unzip it.

I had a similar experience with Ugritone in the past, so now I just steer away from them.

They probably are in the process of changing prices. A few minutes ago Shibalba was $10, now it's $5.

It's not bad bad, IMO. But if you compare size (disk space + memory footprint) vs instrument options and/or sound quality, you may start questioning the rationale behind acquiring this tank of samples. In that regard, ST3 was much better.

It's fairly easy to load it within a DAW. No programming skills required.

Came for a deal but found a new programming language.

Looks like Dirk Ulrich is back and determined to push his brain works up the hill.

I own licenses for Action Strikes and Action Strings 2. However, As per Marcellus, something is rotten in the state of Denmark (c) No wonder, Mr. Ulrich was upset with NI.

Looks like a small step in the right direction. I wonder if it is able to correctly detect the key for the "Flight of the Bumblebee" or "Prelude No. 1" (BWV 846).

Wait! Do you mean, that I also have to actually play the guitar?

ST AmpRoom presets sound great. However, when I run any of the included amps in isolation, it's a far cry from what a good amp sim should be like.

UPD. I think I know what you mean. This seems to plague AT5 when it's copied across multiple channels. When you add instances one by one - no path toggling is needed. That being said, it's worth noting, that up to five instances of AT5 take about 13% on my machine, each. However, with six or more, CPU usage rises significantly, going over 20% per instance on my machine.

1. Default AT5, no changes. CPU load 11-13% https://pasteboard.co/OhwIDvzQO07Z.png 2. Split path, CPU load 16-18% https://pasteboard.co/PUlH8DyPRymk.png 3. Back to the single path. CPU load 11-13% https://pasteboard.co/O2eqccEexiVa.png Am I doing something wrong?

I was also checking CPU usage in S1. What's the trick?

Looks like they have also improved performance a bit. It used to be worse than AT5 in terms of CPU power consumption, now it's noticeably better.

30 GB of hard disk space for each piano title. ? The entire ST3 is about 33GB in size. I wish IK would continue to develop MODO line with MODO Piano, MODO Guitar, MODO Brass, MODO Strings, MODO Vox, etc.

I've never been banned from KVR, however a couple of one famous company representatives tried to bully me. Couldn't care less for their amateurish attempts, mind you, it just goes to show how much more friendly and cozy this forum is.

I know, you were not kidding
