You can eliminate Tape 440 and 99 I think. I think you will find the other two are the highest recommended options. 24 for cleaner with 80 for the bit more character - take em for a spin, I really do like the sound of both, but hate the CPU hit. Not a huge fan of the X-Distortion, but if working all in the AT platform nice to have on hand, personally expected a little more "boutique" offerings in this one that just revised versions of classics where you can buy the real thing for less than $50. But X-Space seems to be the only real option for high grade reverb within the loop in Amplitube, and to a lesser extent I'd say X-Time is the same sort of play. (though I have to say, for the in the room style reverb, adding Sunset Sound Reverb after AT5 sounds amazing - and I'd be using X-Space more for "effect" reverb. I do like X-Vibe to, but might feel redundant (though they absolutly sound different) as you do get a quite of few Modulation effects if you own AT5 with a bunch of the expansions already. I fully agree, you are in a tough choice spot. Edited October 20, 2021 by Brian Walton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t have speaker correction it’s useful. I moved to sonarworks so I could also correct headphones but still use arc to compare sometimes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve specifically raised this in a support question with IK, and instead of answering it, they instead answer a question I haven’t even asked.

I fully agree, you are in a tough choice spot. We're mostly right on the same page. I've been thinking X-Space and X-Time and either X-Vibe or a Tape Machine. I have a couple of tape options already and I'm not keen on the CPU thing, but the way everyone is gushing about them, just call it FOMO. In regards to the last 2 X Pedals, there are a whole lot of options with amps and other FX in Amplitude... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grabbed the software, but I don't have a mic yet. - niel pert drums - $79 level. The Legend! But I think that I already have plenty of drums, so I grabbed it because I could. Consider it if you are light on drums. - miroslav ce $149 level, but the $299 crossgrade full version is better. I have the full version, but it will probably be bumped aside by other orchestral libraries on my drive. Consider it if you are light on orchestral instruments. - slash $99 level. ***If you play guitar, I can't see you not wanting this. which one shall it be? "AmpliTube Slash is a suite of Slash's signature guitar effects, amps and cabs that he uses on tour and in the studio. We worked closely with Slash to recreate his rigs perfectly and Slash says we nailed it. Now you can play and record with the exact sounds that make the legend.

Tom B Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I plan to get the ARC System software as a GB freebie. Other than the IK MEMS mic', what other measurement microphones have folks used successfully? I've been looking at a couple of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the IK MEMS mic', what other measurement microphones have folks used successfully? I've been looking at a couple of options. I had this which I had previously used with REW software and was able to use it with arc. But I needed to install ASIO4All. Luckily, it is only needed for the measurement part and I removed it afterwards. It comes with a calibration fiel. It worked flawlessly. https://www.minidsp.com/products/acoustic-measurement/umik-1 But if you want to use the mic for other things than measurement, you might be better off with something like this Dayton: https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/911/emm-6-electret-measurement-microphone It comes with a calibration file too and will work great with arc I am sure. Others (search this thread) have successfully used this Dayton using a conversion cable. It is cheap for sure, but sometimes you get what you pay for, so research it first. https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/1117/imm-6-idevice-calibrated-measurement-microphone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig N Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Did anyone ever find an easier solution to unlocking all of the Amplitude models and Sampletank extensions that didn't involve entering every single freebie's serial number into the Authorization Manager? That's what I've had to do so far, but after picking the rest of my freebies I'm wondering if there are any alternatives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
